Summary
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.

Travel without moving
Very uplifting tale of a massive walking challenge. It’s all the better for viewing the walk through the different characters who took the challenge on at the same period. Well written and well told.

Inspiring!
Loved it, it felt like I’d been on the trail with them, made me really want to walk the PCT. Think it’s one of my all-time favourites now.

Quality and Excellent delivery
A lovely and interesting layered story. Very descriptive in terms of the environment and emotions of the characters.
Combine this with a passionate delivery, telling a story rather than just reading the words.
Thank you for and excellent book!

Wonderful!
My favourite adventure book so far, the narrators voice was wonderful and matched the content perfectly, and I was fully engrossed and invested in the journeys of all of the hikers. It really was a joy to listen to the adventures of so many wonderful people, and the kindness and courage they shared, just perfect ❤

The PCT text. The one
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

Really enjoyed this book!
A great insider's insight into the mindsets of multiple through-hikers of the PCT.
story is informative but with an enjoyable narrative. Well read by Traber Burns - occasionally I found myself wanting a bit more energy in the reading but once I became familiar with his style we got along fine!
