Sisters Lucy and Susan Letcher hiked the Appalachian Trail twice, from Maine to Georgia and back again. Their unusual choice of footwear earned them the moniker "the Barefoot Sisters." This book chronicles their adventures on the northbound leg of their journey. After a hard winter on the Trail (described in "The Adventures of the Barefoot Sisters, Book 1: Southbounders"), the sisters thought it would be easy to just turn around and walk back. Little did they know...From snow in the Smokies to close encounters with bears and rattlesnakes, from bluegrass festivals to wild blueberries, this book is an unvarnished account of the pleasures and perils of a northbound Appalachian Trail hike. It's as close as you can get to the spirit of the adventure without strapping on a pack.
