Southbound as Told by Number 2: I'll Get There When I Get There - Paperback

Number 2, a Nashville, Tennessee native, steps out way beyond her world with a one-way ticket to Maine to fulfill her lifelong dream of hiking the Appalachian Trail all the way down to Georgia. While documenting her journey, she was careful to maintain a degree of discretion in her telling of events to protect her already worried-sick mother. Now, over a decade later, Number 2 is finally "spillin' the beans" and telling the whole story in her light-hearted, endearing style of storytelling.

Southbound as Told by Number 2 is about what really happened out on the trail. Stories of narrow escapes, conquering legendary mud, wildlife encounters, weather extremes, hiker hunger, and everything you would and wouldn't expect to hear about from a five month three week adventure on the Appalachian Trail.
