When I am not outside (or even when I am) I often can be found reading about other people outside. I recently finished Bill Bryson’s lighthearted look at hiking the Appalachian Trail called A Walk In The Woods.  If you are looking for a read that will make you chuckle once in a while,  this is a book to pick up.   While he did not thru-hike the entire trail,  he gave it a good try,  and met some interesting characters along the way.  I can only imagine reading through the book,  laughing at the description of the gear geek without a jacket,  and then realizing  “hey thats me”!
