"Have you ever yearned for simplicity, freedom, adventure? Have you ever woken up one morning and just felt like... walking?"
This is the story of one woman's break for freedom.
Restless with wanderlust, novice hiker Jan Leitschuh ("LiteShoe") wondered if she had what it took to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. Not yet able to trade her day job for a six-month adventure, Jan hefted a backpack for a month-long hike on what seemed like the easier journey: the Long Trail of Vermont. There, she and her opinionated, heart-attack-challenged hiking partner, Clyde, undertook a crash course in long-distance backpacking, walking 270 miles from Massachusetts to Canada - testing the limits of their physical endurance, friendship and good humor in the process."
