Avalanche and Gorilla Jim: Appalachian Trail Adventures and Other Tales - Paperback
by Al Dragon (Author)
Avalanche and Gorilla Jim is a true picture of what it's like to hike over 1300 miles of fun-filled, gut-wrenching, awe inspiring trail. It is filled with the humor of two guys on a long trek over grueling terrain. You actually live and feel Appalachian trail life, its exciting adventures and fun . . . and, in a sometimes crappy world, meet people who enrich your faith in humanity.
This is the Appalachian Trail with all its beauty and flaws, written in a style of fresh sharp adventure with a pleasing edge.
Al Dragon backpacked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Vermont, slept on the ground, endured blasting heat and bone chilling hypothermic freezes. Al spoke to hundreds of fellow hikers, townspeople, and outfitters, and spent time with two Triple Crowners, rare people who completely hiked the three over 2,000 mile long trails in the U.S. Dragon is a semi-retired Philadelphia lawyer who wrote four manuals, commercial newsletters and newspaper articles, and was a presenter at seminars for lawyers organizations.
