A Cool Breeze on the Appalachian Trail: A Supported Thru-Hike (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780578429595)

Cool Breeze (AKA Tom Gregg), a successful entrepreneur, has always set and accomplished his goals--his own way. So, when deciding to hike the 2,189 miles Appalachian Trail in 2017, he was determined to hike his
own hike. This is the true account of Tom's attempt at age 53 to hike the Appalachian Trail
in less than ninety days, not as a backpacker, but as a supported hiker. To accomplish his goal, he would have to hike the equivalent of a marathon a day for three straight months while climbing and descending Mt. Everest the equivalent of 16 times.

Tom believes that supported hiking is a legitimate alternative to traditional backpacking, and he hopes that it will gain popularity in the US as people learn that it is a viable option. You will learn in this book how Tom tries to accomplish his hiking goals, and it will hopefully give you ideas and tools for your own hike whether you are out for a weekend, a week, a month, or more.
