Rocks, Roots and Rattlesnakes is the captivating story of trekking through the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of the eastern US in 2020. My thru hike from June 5 to November 17 is written as a daily account of life on the trail from a geologist's perspective. The book contains three parts with 26 chapters and reads like a journal log, capturing my challenges and experiences each day on the trail. In addition to the 240 pages of text, there are over 100 color photos, 6 figures and 6 charts. Hopefully you will find this book both informative and entertaining, as you read and enjoy my tales of 150 days of discovery on the Appalachian Trail!
