Wildly Strolling Along Larry Pounds

Together, a plant ecologist father and his adult, millennial son hike Tennessee's Cumberland Trail. They share their observations and various fun facts along the way about themselves, each other, history, backpacking, day hiking, salamanders who seemingly rise from the dead, ferns, buckeyes, waterfalls, rock formations, possibly mind-reading exhibitionist leeches, the cuteness of toads, hickory "miscarriages," coyotes, the Scopes "Monkey" Trial, the similarity between rattlesnakes and rebellious teenagers, the tenderness of vultures and wild hogs as parents and much more. Join them for a walk you won't forget. Two dollars of the book price goes to the non-profit Cumberland Trails Conference which is helping to build the trail.
