Doing this challenge virtually, pedaling away in the basement… this is not really the experience by any stretch of the imagination.
However, I had bought a copy of Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods. And I’ve been saving up to read it while I do this virtual challenge.
And at about 1/3 of the way so far, I’ll just say what I would say about all of his books I’ve read so far:
Highly recommend!

It’s because of this book that I know that Clingman’s Dome (which I recently posted a photo from) is the highest point on the AT. Kind of fun context as I pass virtual landmarks, to hear how getting to them may be experienced IRL.
Well, back I get to it.
