About this listen

In Journeys North, legendary trail angel, thru hiker, and former PCTA board member Barney Scout Mann spins a compelling tale of six hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2007 as they walk from Mexico to Canada. This ensemble story unfolds as these half-dozen hikers - including Barney and his wife, Sandy - trod north, slowly forming relationships and revealing their deepest secrets and aspirations. They face a once-in-a-generation drought and early severe winter storms that test their will in this bare-knuckled adventure. In fact, only a third of all the hikers who set out on the trail that year would finish.

As the group approaches Canada, a storm rages. How will these very different hikers, ranging in age, gender, and background, respond to the hardship and suffering ahead of them? Can they all make the final 60-mile push through freezing temperatures, sleet, and snow, or will some reach their breaking point?

Journeys North is a story of grit, compassion, and the relationships people forge when they strive toward a common goal.

Some thru hiking books we tolerate to feed our addictions.

This book is is not the usual.... it's pure unadulterated thru hike culture. the real deal. it is masterful and has everything you're looking for in terms of excitement, history, emotion, feeling as if you're there with the characters we all love...knowledge and wisdom for newbies and hardcore heads alike.

the passion for the community and responsibility for it's members shines through...complex and gorgeous, brimming with details, anecdotes, with a huge variety of stories and tear inducing moments capturing the trail masterfully in a complex interwoven view, you know the hikers.... told by scout who is such an integral part of PCT history.... I'm not quite done with it yet cos I will be listening again I'm sure. then I'll read it I know

The PCT text. The one
