Trail Mix: Bite sized, mostly true stories from the wilderness, featuring those who survived the author's adventures Kindle Edition

by T. Duren Jones (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 8 ratings

Going hiking? Don’t forget to pack these bite-sized, mostly true stories from the wilderness, featuring those who survived the author’s adventures.
 
T. Duren Jones loves hiking wilderness trails. He gets out as often as he can, and enjoys taking friends and family on his explorations. Most of those who have joined his adventures still talk to him. He has hiked hundreds of trails in the American West, has summited all of the fifty-four Colorado 14,000 ft. peaks (now on his second round with his granddaughter), and has trekked the nearly 500 miles of the Colorado Trail’s twenty-eight segments from Denver to Durango. Once he’s done with one checklist, he on to the next—this guy is nuts!
 
This book is a follow-up to Tales from the Trails, this time with new stories presented in bite-sized pieces. Snack on a few at a time, but you might not want to put it down and end up eating, er, reading, the whole package in one sitting. As with his previous book, Trail Mix is part adventure, part travelogue, part motivational encouragement, part cautionary tale, and part stand-up comedy (at least the author thinks so).
 
Trail Mix is for anyone who loves spending time in the outdoors, who wishes they could be outdoors more, or who simply enjoys reading about nuts who spend time in the great outdoors. The author hopes by sharing these adventures—and misadventures—that the readers will be inspired to go out and discover their own stories.

T. Duren Jones gets out into the wilderness as often as possible—camping, fishing, hiking, desert trail trekking and “bagging” peaks—and does he have stories to tell! He’s hiked hundreds of trails, completed the nearly 500 miles of the Colorado Trail, and has summited all 54 of Colorado’s 14,000-ft. peaks. He loves the outdoors, and check-off lists. He’s kinda crazy that way.

The author enjoys taking friends and family on wilderness quests with him...and most of them have survived his escapades. This book—part adventure journal, part travelogue, part motivational encouragement, part stand-up comedy—includes 26 mostly-true outdoor stories from trails and climbs around the American West.

Tim (he thinks T. Duren sounds more impressive), a former Periodicals Editorial and Art Director, has worked in marketing, advertising and publishing for more than 25 years. He currently does freelance commercial art, marketing and advertising consulting (if he has to, when he’s not hiking).

His book is for individuals or families that love spending time in the outdoors, wish that they could be outdoors more, or simply enjoy reading about those who spend time outdoors.

    T. Duren's witty writing is engaging and at times even riveting between direct lightning strikes, blizzards, lost hikers, and his elegant descriptions of breathtaking views where the clear air is thin. He extrapolates pithy life lessons from every hike and you feel like you've been with him on these adventures into nature. Read it. You'll be better for it. I know I am.
