Wild

I'm still not very far in the book, Wild. It began to talk about the first leg of the trail which is the Mojave Desert.

When I was reading how Cheryl was blindside about the conditions she would have to hike, it reminded me when my brother went hiking in New Mexico.

He went with about 8 other people and they hike 90 miles in 10 days. They prepared for months. Hiking more each day and carrying more weight in preparation. All of their equipment was strapped to their backs during the hike. A good 40+ pounds.

I thought that was crazy. Cheryl was hiking by herself with no training at all. It's hard to believe that she could lift her gear. This shows if you have the right inspiration and determination you can do anything.
