Wheres the Next Shelter?

Posted on 06 August 2017 by Gary Sizer

Where s the Next Shelter is the true story of three travelers on the Appalachian Trail, a two thousand mile hike that stretches from Georgia to Maine, told from the perspective of Gary Sizer, a seasoned backpacker and former Marine who quickly finds himself humbled by the endeavor He teams up with Megan, a sassy college grad whose indomitable spirit eclipses her lack of experience, and Lemmy, a cartoonist from overseas whose off kilter commentary on the wonders and frustrations of the trail keeps everyone laughing Sprawling through the woods and towns of the Appalachian mountains, the trail carries the trio through real and fanciful ups and downs ranging from hilarious to perilous Much than an orderly account of mountain tops and meals, it is an adventure about friends figuring things out as they go It s about screw ups and solutions, awe and inspiration If you long for the horizon, or to sleep under the stars, then come along for the hike of a lifetime All you have to do is take the first step.
