About the Book

This astonishing story chronicles Paralee's amazing hike, from a woman's prospective, as she puts one foot in front of the other, day-after-day, challenging herself beyond her comfort zone. You can share the mental and physical challenges she experienced as she would hike continually, without any contact with civilization, for days or months at a time. Her daily journal reveals the struggles of spending continuous days, on a long-distance hike. Her competitive nature sometimes got her in trouble as she pushed to arrive at camp in a timely manner exhausted and sometimes too tired to fire up the stove. She knew her destiny was with a greater power and her final destination was to reach Katahdin in Maine. Paralee shared her adventure with her sister Lorelei "LaTripper" Schild for the first seven-hundred miles. LaTripper made for some humorous moments for all the hikers. Throughout the book you will find remarkable information about the origin of the Appalachian Trail, updates and rerouting issues, along with resources and advice for being a successful hiker or backpacker as you discover your own adventure.
About the Author: Paralee grew up in the country, one of twelve children and spent a lot of time in the outdoors. She found hiking or backpacking the perfect way to surround herself with the great outdoors and went for a very long hike. Hayward started reading the journals of hikers as they traversed the Appalachian Trail, and felt the tug to be part of it all. After raising three children she retired at the age of fifty-seven, and succumbed to white blaze fever as she began her hike along the Appalachian Trail. Paralee, also known as Pearl by her friends and Trapper Lee on the Trail, is one of the many sixty plus adults who attempt to hike the entire Trail each year, and even in her sixties she is still hiking. Dawson is a non-fiction writer, specializing in her adventures along the Appalachian Trail. She is a native of New Windsor, Maryland, but now makes her home in Murphy, North Carolina.
