When Dan White and his girlfriend set out to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, which stretches from Mexico to Canada, his parents wondered how two people who had never shared an apartment could survive six months in the desert with hardly more than a two-man pup tent and some trail mix. The answer was barely. But when Dan and his girlfriend, dubbed "The Lois and Clark Expedition" by their benevolent trail-guru, find themselves deep in the American wilderness, the hardships of the trail provide these addled adventurers with a crystalline view of nature, themselves, and each other.
"In the well-written, laugh-out-loud, self deprecating spirit of Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods and Nora Ephron's When Harry Met Sally, Dan White takes us along for a walk on the wild side of adventure and love. I couldn't put it down."-Eric Blehm, National Outdoor Book Award-winning author of The Last Season
