Book Description
Autumn on the Trail to Santiago begins where Sons of Thunder left off... same man, same spirit... blood, sweat and soul expressed out the same marrow but much is changed with the landscape, skyscape and timescape that inform the in-scape of mind. The eye popping Whippit hit of June and July's Spain mellows now in the soft autumnal exhale reflected in cooling days, lengthening nights and the repletion and harvest of agricultural labors along a string of trails spanning across southern France, over the Pyrénées, along northern Spain and into Santiago for a second time this year. While writing Autumn on the Trail to Santiago natural section breaks appeared in a way they did not in the flood-rush of Sons of Thunder. The initial 'On n'est pas riche mais on vie bien' segment is a toast to my family and to the love expressed in a plate of food. 'Between the Rabbits' puts comestible brackets around le Chemin d'Arles, from Arles to the Pyrénées. 'Aragonia' describes el Camino Aragonés' descent from the storm ravaged Pyrénées-Pirineos into Spain, to re-connect with el Camino Francés in Puenta la Reina. And 'Broken Water, Spanish Rain' is the long last leg of the journey; a dark wet trek down the metaphysical birth canal to Santiago, to the sea, and to the rest of life beyond this adventure.

Book Description
Home to more than 500 wildflower species, Wisconsin stands out as one of the best states to see these beautiful wonders. From the tiny pasqueflower that appears with the first warm breath of spring to the 10-foot-tall giant sunflower rising above prairie grasses in late summer, from late spring's woodland blooms that look like you're walking through a Monet painting to October's single small blossoms that work their way up through fallen leaves, Wisconsin offers a variety of great wildflower experiences. A hike is the best way to see these wonders, but where and when should would you hit the trail? Wisconsin's Best Wildflower Hikes lists the state's top 10 wildflower trails, as well as offers the best hikes in each of its regions and counties. More than 100 fantastic day hikes are described here, and all are guaranteed to delight. Full-color photography accompanies many of the trail descriptions, making this the ultimate guide to wildflower hikes in the Badger State.
