3.5⭐️/5⭐️

My favorite book!!

5🌟/5🌟

I reread this book after my father died... at a later time in my life. I got so much more out of it and understood it so much more than I did the first time I read it. It just means a lot more to me this time around.

An interesting look at how searches are conducted for missing hikers, the tools used by both amateurs and professionals including drones, psychics, in-person searches, and social media. It centers on 3 missing hikers, and while none are found, you get to know the hikers, their families, and the author, a former national park ranger, throughout the searches on the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail). It‘s informative and heartbreaking.

My favourites of the year! I gave just three 5 star reviews out of about 30 books ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These were books that I couldn‘t put down and I didn‘t want to end 🥰

Definitely a page turner. Lack of resolution at the end was frustrating but she gives enough info that you can make up your own mind about what happened to each hiker. Not exactly a work of literary genius but sometimes you need a plane read that will keep you interested.

The Pacific Crest Trail is one of the toughest hikes in the US. Running between the Canadian/US border at one end & the US/Mexico border at the other, it totals 2653 miles. Its terrain encompasses whole gamut between deserts & snow-logged trails, minimal signage, & the local wildlife includes rattlesnakes & bears. Still, many people try to thru-hike (travel from one end to the other) [continued]

This book about volunteer missing persons searchers and investigators on the PCT was fascinating. It was sobering, but so descriptive it made me want to head out west and hike.

Last day of #ForTheLoveofBooks Readathon. I read something this morning about how avocado toast is not a great for you breakfast so of course that‘s the only thing I could think about eating.

I thought I would finish this book yesterday but I still have 100 pages left. My plan is to finish before we leave for a hike in a couple of hours 🤞
