Where Less the Path is Worn: First Trek O'er Appalachians of North America
0 - Default Title
Description
Interestingly, the journey doesn’t end there, but returns north again, all the way to the island of Newfoundland, to continue among the Long Range Appalachian Mountains as they rise to meet the tundra, clear to the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula where the Vikings first landed over 1,000 years ago. Journey’s end is on Belle Isle, the remaining mountaintop, the final bastion along the majestic Appalachians to hold its head above the Labrador Sea.
As part of this adventure, and as a distinction, this is the first known trek to cover the entire Appalachian Mountain Range, at least as we know it to exist on the North American continent.
This odyssey is narrated in first person (journal entry) format, in hopes you might enjoy journeying along from day to day. Though vicarious your quest, be prepared to experience the joy, feel the pain, and test the loneliness and toil that only a trek of such magnitude could ever offer up. As it has been for the Nimblewill Nomad, it is hoped this adventure will also prove a journey of inspiration and discovery for you. Indeed, the eastern North American continent is grand, such an expansive and magnificent place, with its natural beauty, its beautiful people. The delight of such discovery can be neither realized nor least understood by those comfortably riding along. One must walk to truly see and understand.
Where Less the Path is Worn will take you along that way. A warning, though. This journey, unfortunately, will require that you endure the doggedness of it, the seemingly countless miles, the countless days, the countless journal entries. You, too, must endure, as did the old Nomad. But your reward, your payoff, it’s here, the magic of discovery, it’s here among these pages.
[N. Nomad]
