Description:
Thelma and Louise get sporty (and survive) in this anthology of stories about women for whom getting together to share adventures, big and small, in the great outdoors is more fun than a day of shopping. Here women ski virgin slopes, hike obscure Appalachian trails in the off-season, and bike tough trails in the woods of New York. And in TWO FOR THE ROAD, an anthology of true stories, they've found that when it comes to the outdoors, two is more fun than one. Diane Ackerman and a pal bike through an "aubergine drapery of forest" to circumnavigate Lake Otsego, Marry Morris and her daughter pair up for the road trip of their lives though the California desert, Pam Houston chills out with a friend on a ranch in Colorado, two work colleagues go hiking in the Costa Rican forest, and one women skis through a dangerous storm, comforted only by the fact that she's accompanied by her childhood best friend, an excellent athlete.
Expand description
Susan Fox Rogers, the editor of Solo: On Her Own Adventure and Another Wilderness: Notes from the New Outdoorswoman, has found fifteen courageous and fun-loving women who will inspire you to fill up your gas tank, lace up your hiking boots, and dig your bike out of the basement. But more than anything, the bond that these women share will inspire you to call your mom, sister, or best friend to see if they'd be up for an adventure as exhilarating, if not always hitch-free, as those in the pages of TWO FOR THE ROAD.
