You asume without not evidence, that she lies in the book, however you have no evidence of it. you are nothing more than a hater, critical, your criticisms seem empty and stupid to me just like you. the author of the book never mentions that she was an expert in hiking, you misunderstood from there, it is a search towards herself, she is inexperienced, she makes mistakes, she is human, like everyone! It's the great thing about the book, it's not a race to see who knows more about hiking, it's a path towards self-discovery, I'm very sure that you have climbed or walked nothing in your life, it's very easy to criticize, but what to do? HATER, get a life! and by the way... wikipedia wikipedia did not exist when she crossed the CPT, Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421698439831025587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333541691333550838.post-76071523746832303962016-12-15T19:02:50.856-08:002016-12-15T19:02:50.856-08:00I know you wrote this a long time ago, but thank y...I know you wrote this a long time ago, but thank you from someone who recently listened to the audiobook. I was wondering if I was missing something while listening in a noisy work environment, but it looks like that wasn't the case (except the eating the ashes bit--that part struck me by surprise when I read it on Goodreads. I'm looking forward to your reaction of it).Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12372521246433619793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333541691333550838.post-50149374752839065092016-01-17T12:04:21.183-08:002016-01-17T12:04:21.183-08:00Ahahahahah OMG!

What? Is she....crazy? Yes, of course, she is, but, Cheryl wants us to know that she can fuck wid the best of 'em, letting her poor, dehydrated juices do the rest.<br /><br />Okay, it's been awhile since I listened to Wild on audio, but reading this blog has brought me immeasurable pleasure. I have laughed until tears streamed down my face. Her audio book went in one ear (okay, both) and out the other (not sure what I was going for here, but you get the point). I can't recall all of the details but do remember thinking that most of it sounded implausible, especially her encounter with the "potential" rapists.<br /><br />Found the blog after your post on IMDB, Califohian, in prep to see the film, and simply had to start at the beginning. Please write your own book, any subject - you are, in a word, hilarious, as are several of your commenters.Gator Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14909324531357744772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333541691333550838.post-71760223226856235152015-05-15T22:45:50.371-07:002015-05-15T22:45:50.371-07:00Easy, Guy...non-lubricated = less weight.

Yeah. I said it. Fuck her.<br /><br />I just watched Reese Witherspoon on 60 Minutes talk about how inspiring Cheryl Strayed is and how "Epic" it was that she "hiked the PCT". I agree, Mrs. Witherspoon,...if she had hiked the PCT, it would've been epic. Not exactly original or unheard of, but there's a certain epicness to marching 2000+ miles through inclemental weather and harsh terrain simply to prove you can do it. And, had Mrs. Strayed actually fucking did it, I would put her on the epic list. BUT, SHE DID NOT - NOR HAS SHE EVER- HIKED THE PCT. She has 'hiked on it'. Again, it's like going to Florida and skipping the Keys to Orlando, popping in on Disneyland, then getting on a plane and heading to Talahassee or bum fuck nowhere so you can pop out of the woods at the Georgia border and go "I DID FLORIDA". Only, in this case, Cheryl AGAIN skipped the most beautiful part of the trail. The backside of Whitney? Fuck that. Forester Pass? Hell-to-the-no. Kearsage? What's that...is it a condom brand. The ANSEL-FUCKING-ADAMS WILDERNESS (the signs say that, really! lol)? Oh...um...nope, skipped that. OK...for fucks sake, tell me you didn't skip Tioga? SHIT! OK. No fucking around here. YOU DID NOT SKIP TAHOE, DID YOU?<br /><br />.....<br /><br />Mother fucker.<br /><br />Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, our courageous and most admirable hiker skipped about 341 ROAD MILES of the PCT. I'm going to guess it's about 450 trail miles. Let's review. <br />She started in Tehachapi. So, she blew off 556.3 miles from Mexico to HWY 58.<br />Then, she blew off 450 miles (est) from Kennedy to DONNER PASS. That's over a thousand miles and we're not out of California, yet.<br /><br />And, the weather wasn't that bad. PEOPLE DID THRU HIKE THAT YEAR.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
