I'm so glad I saved this book! I just reread my initial response to it, several years ago, and I am less shocked and dismayed this time around about her earlier heroin use. Maybe because I knew it was coming? At any rate, this woman finally got her head on straight, and it was fun to witness the process through her writing about her hiking.
I am more motivated than ever about two places to hike: the John Muir Trail, though it's not mentioned too much here, and Crater Lake. I must go see and hike near Crater Lake! I must! I will!
Cheryl's descriptions of the people she meets along the way are one of the things that made me enjoy this book so much. It's fun to remember my early wandering days around Europe and being open to meeting and bonding with people in this fashion. I wish I had journaled more about them! It's crazy how I thought I could never forget those people or places, and yet...I did! I'm doing a better job of journaling these days, and that's one of the reasons. It's also good to reflect as I write on what makes each person a unique gift.
