Survivors! A Far Away Adventure

A wonderful book to take you away from wherever you live and move you to a NEW and wonderful experience. Survivors in the true sense of the word. Nothing contrived. While reading you will want to pack a backpack and a water bottle and hike with the author and his family into places most of us will never get to go. Not a travel jounal as such, but when you are finished you will feel like you could manage Tibet. Not a far off scientific quest, but when you are finished you will know more than you did when you started about the Top of the World. You will enjoy the whole walk up into the mountains. It is a great way to keep life in perspective. I bought it for myself and to give away! Enjoy!
