During their adventure, they encounter numerous interesting people and experience both hilarious and challenging, even harrowing, moments involving curious black bears and getting lost. The pair fly to Atlanta and make their way to Springer Mountain to begin their routine of hiking by day and camping by night. While Bryson is glad that he won’t be traveling alone, he’s slightly worried that Katz isn’t disciplined or healthy enough for the trek. Katz and Bryson grew up together in Iowa but barely saw each other for decades. None respond, but one old pal, Stephen Katz, hears of his plan and asks to come along. Fearful of making the trek alone, he begins inviting friends to come along. In addition, he buys some relevant books. To purchase backpacking and camping gear for the trek, he visits a local sporting goods store, where he’s bemused by the complexity and expense of the recommendations but nonetheless leaves with most of the items. He decides to hike the whole trail, from Georgia to Maine.
After living in England for 20 years, Bryson and his family move to Hanover, New Hampshire, where he soon discovers that the famed Appalachian Trail (AT) runs nearby.
