In thirty-six thrilling days, Melanie Radzicki McManus hiked 1,100 miles around Wisconsin, landing her in the elite group of Ice Age Trail thru-hikers known as Thousand-Milers. In prose that is alternately harrowing and humorous, McManus takes you with her on an “into-the-wild” Ice Age experience through Wisconsin’s forests, prairies, wetlands, farms, and far-flung small towns.
This book is a gorgeous homage to my home state, written by someone who shares my bottomless passion for Wisconsin's natural spaces. A favorite quote featured in the book: "The world needs dreamers and the world eneds doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do." - Sarah Ban Breathnach
