Waiting to begin your hike or wishing Spring were already here? See if you can borrow a favorite book of mine at your local library and read it.
It was written by Maurice Brooks also known as Dr. Appalachia to his students at West Virginia University. Unfortunately, by the time I matriculated at WVU, he had retired. I did once meet him and speak with him briefly at his office he maintained at Percival Hall after his retirement.
His book is one of the classics about our beloved Appalachians, yet many newer A.T. enthusiasts have never even heard of it. I don't believe I've seen it recommended here.
