Back in Paperback, with a new afterword by the author Of the
thru-hikers who set out to walk the entire Appalachian Trail, most
don't make it. Robert Rubin's chances didn't look good.
Thirty-eight years old, dispirited, and burned out by a job he no
longer loved, he decided to leave mortgage and wife and cul-de-sac
life behind for a journey that could take half a year--or perhaps
never end. On the trail's wooded ridges, Rubin found himself part
of a strange vagrant culture of pilgrims and dropouts, a world with
its own rules and rituals. With eloquence and humor, he recounts
his trek--the people he met, the landscapes he passed through, the
spiritual and physical endurance involved (despite a diet heavy in
Snickers bars and macaroni & cheese, he lost seventy-five
pounds along the way). "On the Beaten Path" is a wise, witty look
at one of the few remaining pilgrimages in our disillusioned age.
