Über diesen Titel
Seven Summers, a sequel to Cascade Summer (2012), answers one question among many: After “just doing Oregon,” can two 60-something brothers-in-law complete the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail that defeats more than half those who attempt it? Poignant, poetic, and fall-down funny, this endearing story from the award-winning Welch will help listeners understand the soul of America’s iconic trail, laugh in the face of aging, celebrate friendship, and—hikers or not—consider living life with more thirst for adventure.

Kritikerstimmen
"Pure Trail Magic.... I devoured this book like a fresh stack of pancakes, as will any reader who loves a grand adventure." (Noah Strycker, author, Birding Without Borders: An Obsession, a Quest, and the Biggest Year in the World, and a 2011 PCT thru-hiker who reached Canada)
"After reading scores of accounts of walking the Pacific Crest Trail that begin in the desert south and proceed linearly and predictably, Bob Welch’s account of completing the PCT with his brother-in-law, Glenn, is refreshingly bumpy. Written with self-deprecating humor, Seven Summers seems part Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods, part Barney Mann’s Journeys North, but all uniquely The Oregon Boys." (Rees Hughes, Co-Editor, Crossing Paths: A Pacific Crest Trailside Reader (2022), A Pacific Crest Trailside Reader: California (2011), and A Pacific Crest Trailside Reader: Oregon and Washington (2011)
"With Twain-like humor and humility, Welch reveals life on one of America’s greatest trails...makes you laugh out loud, and sometimes cringe in sympathy...well worth the trip." (James Meacham, co-editor, The Atlas of Oregon and The Atlas of Yellowstone)
