I love to hike. I love to swap tales from the trail with other hikers. Author Lawton “Disco” Grinter is a hiker with some great tales to tell. He’s completed the Triple Crown of long trails: the Appalachian Trail, the Continental Divide Trail, and the Pacific Crest Trail. In his book I Hike – Mostly True Stories from 10,000 Miles of Hiking, Grinter shares many of his memorable experiences on these and other great trails.
I read I Hike last month, and last weekend, caught up with Disco (his trail name) at the Pacific Crest Trail kick-off not far from the Mexican border. Disco graciously shared a signed copy of his book, and now you can win it!
