Hi All
Who has written your favorite trailjournals, journal?
I have read some but wanted to read a few more.
Thanks
Gunn
My personal faves are Marta/Five Leaf, Certain, Persistent, Troll/Anchor/Oblivious, and Roots.

lw beat me to it. ms is informative and entertaining. looking forward to following his hike. there may even be a thread here.
Wow, MinnesotaSmith & Faithwalker's 2009 Appalachian Trail Journal will be one to read for sure. Thanks for that one
No question in my mind. Datto's journal was the best. I looked forward to each new post.

thanks for asking the question Gunn and Hootch for the answer. I've been reading Marta's posts for a while now and am now enjoying her self deprecating humor in her through hike journal.

I've read a bunch, but my all-time favorites are Birdlegs from 2007 and Break-a-leg from 2005.
Jan Liteshoe's, for sure. She also wrote a great book (The Ordinary Adventurer) about her thru hike of The Long Trail. You can get it on the Green Mountain Club's web site.

this has always been one of my favorites, from 1983. A couple of books I would recommend are Jan Liteshoe's, already mentioned, and Model T's book, "Walking on the Happy Side of Misery" I think you can find them both at Amazon.com
"It was on the first of May, in the year 1769, that I resigned my domestic happiness for a time, and left my family and peaceable habitation on the Yadkin River, in North Carolina, to wander through the wilderness of America." - Daniel Boone
Marta, Bama, and MinnesotaSmith & Faithwalker's
I am not young enough to know everything.
Dunno how I forgot about that one. I've read some of Jan's, she's an excellent author.

Big Red's from 2003 was the other one I read that year (Jan's being the first)

I was going to suggest this one, too. Hands down, my favorite AT journal online.
