Laura Stiles- A Walk in the Woods

For some of my oustide reading i chose the book A walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. If anyone's looking for a funny read, I would definitely recomend it, especially after having taken this class. Anyway, the point is that it got my thinking about how much goes into the preparation of a long hike. Everyhting has to be thought out. You can't just run to Walmart to grab something you need. It really does take a lot of faith to know you'll survive the experience and that you get help along the way. I'd would love to go on a backpacking trip, and though this book proves just about anyone can survive, I'm not sure I'm ready to leave the comforts of CNU.
