About this ebook

Rarely will you find books that explore the human emotions of a long-distance trek so honestly and clearly. --Roger Williamson, Campmor, Inc."Highly recommended." --trailsbib.blogspot.com After hiking the AT from Maine to Georgia, Lucy and Susan Letcher decided that the best way to get home would be to turn around and hike it again. So they did--barefoot, of course--but this time, they encountered hardships and joys they didn't expect at all. This second half of the Barefoot Sisters' account has become an AT classic.

Ratings and reviews

I meet the "barefoot" sisters at a guy's place in Virginia who used to let hikers stay there. Not once did I see them with bare feet. Only socks or socks with sandals.
