Riassunto

In 1979, David Brill became one of the first of a new generation to complete the Georgia-to-Maine hike on the Appalachian Trail. As Far as the Eye Can See, now a classic, chronicles his six-month, 2,100 mile walk, a quest to live simply and deliberately, with room to grow, to breathe, to change, to discover what really mattered to him.

This new edition includes two new chapters: &;A Passage, at Midlife along the Smokies AT&; and &;On the Trail of Benton MacKaye&;Again.&; They recount a time of reawakening in the author&;s life, when Brill pulled his backpack off its peg in the shed and took to the trail once more, returning to the woods not as visitor but as a man who felt most at home in the forested mountains of the Appalachians. In the process, he rediscovered&;as most hikers do&;the centering experience of exploring earth with feet and the healing power of the natural world.
