Synopsis
Philip Larson began delivering newspapers in his hometown of Boone, Iowa, when he was ten years old. One afternoon while walking his paper route he looked up in the sky and noticed a narrow, white cloud developing behind an airplane. Although he had never seen a contrail before, he knew what it was. What he did not know is how the advancements in jet aircraft would revolutionize travel and enable a young Iowa paper carrier to one day explore all seven continents. He hiked, canoed, rode motorcycles, and traveled in automobiles, planes, trains, and ships.
In a fascinating chronicling of his travels from 1969 to 2019, Philip Larson shares a glimpse into his global adventures as he journeyed from the frozen lakes of arctic Canada to the outback of Australia to the barren Namib desert of western Africa as well as many more destinations. As he leads other travel adventurers through his vast experiences, Larson details a frigid New Year's Eve camping trip in northern Minnesota, an one-hundred and eighty-mile trek on the back trails of Nepal, a memorable campsite in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula as a typhoon blew in from the Sea of Okhotsk, and much more.
A Few Memorable Days is the travel log of an experienced adventurer as he explored the world over five decades in some of its most inaccessible places.
