Book Description
The Hot Springs Trail Official Guidebook The Hot Springs Trail is an original 2,390.9 mile long-distance backpacking route that takes you to sacred places with healing waters. This incredible thru-hiker's journey begins on the Pacific Ocean in the paradise town of Santa Barbara, CA and visits more than 80 wild and resort Hot Spring areas before reaching Canada. Featured along the way are many glacial lakes, historic towns, and remote summits, plus a diversity of wildlife, geology, and ecosystems. It is my hope that one day this book will be used as a template for an official Hot Springs National Scenic Trail. The Hot Springs Trail is broken down into 4 parts, each of which are their own epic adventure. This Official Guidebook provides you with a full set of detailed and updated maps plus complete logistics for the entire trail. It addresses safety concerns, offers first-hand advice and tips, gives resupply options, highlights both hot and cold spring water sources, and includes current websites for further planning. The Hot Springs Trail was pioneered solely by its author and first successfully thru-soaked in 2014.

Book Description
Would you send your teenager into the Alaska wilderness to work for people you never met? On June 9, 1973, 16-year-old Michael Travis put an advertisement in the Fairbanks Daily News Miner looking for work. What he got was more than he bargained for. Michael accepted an offer to help an older couple build a lodge at Melozi Hot Springs—a remote camp north of the Yukon River. The couple is shocked when they see a boy step out of the bush plane, instead of a capable man they sorely needed. Michael must prove his worth and learns quickly this beautiful land can turn deadly – handing out hard lessons. Confronted with bears, hordes of mosquitoes, and the realization he is truly on his own, Michael gradually earns his place among his employers and becomes an Alaskan.

Book Description
The Idaho Soaktennial Trail Official Guidebook (The Hot Springs Trail Part 4 of 4) The Idaho Soaktennial Trail is an 1,100 mile long-distance backpacking route that shadows the Idaho Centennial Trail. The ICT is a long-distance National Scenic Trail that spans south to north across the entire state of Idaho, however, it has not yet been fully signed or developed and many of its miles still remain wild. The Idaho Soaktennial Trail route described in this guide contains many alternates, detours, reroutes, and updates that have been made to the ICT and diverges often from the traditional route to visit remote summits, idyllic resupply towns, historic resorts, and wilderness Hot Springs. This Official Guidebook provides you with a full set of detailed and updated maps plus complete logistics of the trail. It addresses safety concerns, offers first-hand advice and tips, gives resupply options, highlights hot and cold spring water sources, and includes many official options to visit lakes, campgrounds, and other nearby features along the way. Idaho has more natural Hot Springs than any other US state and the Soaktennial Trail will take you to 51 of them. The Idaho Soaktennial Trail was pioneered solely by its author and first successfully thru-soaked in 2014.

Book Description
Searching for even more wild places and new experiences, Dan became determined to explore 'off the map' in Africa. From the mighty Sahara Desert in the north to the dense equatorial jungles of the Congo and the open grasslands of Southern Africa, Dan turned his biggest dream into reality. Over the course of three years Dan's second major expedition spanned fifty-four thousand miles through thirty-five unique African countries. THE ADVENTURE WAS A THOUSAND TIMES BIGGER THAN HE DREAMED POSSIBLE. After exploring the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Argentina Dan became hooked on the freedom of global overland travel, and he only wanted more. New languages, exotic foods, stunning landscapes and local people with an entirely different outlook became Dan's everyday life. As the months turned into years, through highlights and despair Dan gained a new appreciation for what it truly means to be alive. Viewing our modern world through African eyes gave Dan a new perspective, and he was pulled in by the endless joy, laughter and kindness at every turn. While the landscapes and wildlife are undeniably breathtaking, it is the natural warmth of the African people that is truly unforgettable. All across the continent Dan was welcomed with love and generosity, and now he will never be the same.
