A Walk in the Woods - Bill Bryson

Allow me to discuss Bryson's account of walking the Appalachian Trail as if it were, itself, a trek.

We started off brightly, making good progress through an appealing landscape. About halfway through, however, we appeared to lose our path and progress became sporadic, and the experience trailed off somewhat towards the end. We have used this guide several times before, and he was generally as engaging, knowledgable and interesting as we have found previously.
