"Have you ever yearned for freedom, adventure, simplicity?
Have you ever woken up one morning and just felt like...walking?"


"The Ordinary Adventurer "

Hiking Vermont's Long Trail;
A Primer for Baby Adventurers
and Other Musings on the Nature of Journey


 

 A story of one woman's break for freedom

 
by
Jan "LiteShoe" Leitschuh

In 2002, restless and searching for the longest possible journey to undertake without "quitting the day job,"
novice hiker Jan Leitschuh  laced up some new trail shoes, hefted an unfamiliar backpack and set foot on
Vermont's rugged 270-mile Long Trail.
Along with her opinionated, heart-attack challenged hiking partner
Clyde,
the pair tested the outer limits of their physical endurance,
friendship and good humor - walking from Massachussetts to Canada in the process.

... and then she WROTE about it
