Sarah of Trail Cooking was given a hard-to-find copy of this book.
The Great Divide: A Walk Along the Continental Divide of the United States (1987) by Stephen Pern
Sarah recommends it, saying on Facebook:
As you get into the heart of the book my mind thought of another book, Dances With Marmots – A Pacific Crest Trail Adventure. George’s book has a similar flow. If you liked Dances, you will enjoy this book.
The Continental Divide Trail (CDT) is a wild trail even today. I cannot imagine his walking it even in the 80’s, picking a path of his own to beat the weather and to be able to get food drops. There wasn’t much of a trail back then.
