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.

"I started hiking at point A and walked to point B". I've read the Barefoot Sisters books, AWOL on the AT, 300 Zeroes, and a few more. This book is right up there with the must-haves.
