“A Thousand and One Appalachian Tales,” by Düg Fresh.
ISBN 978-1-60264-851-7 (hardcover), $40.00. 452 pages.
In the spring of 01988, while struggling to deal with
great tragedy and loss, Airman Page found himself at a
crossroads. Honorably discharged from the Military in
Texas, and in his civilian guise as Düg Fresh, he decided
to walk home from Georgia via the world-famous
Appalachian Trail.
Told in two parts, book one shares the travails of his
trek, as he thru-hiked north with a zany band of crazy
misfits and wizened wanderers, and records their many
madcap adventures along the way.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Fresh from his service in the United States Air Force,
free thinker and iconoclast adventurer Düg Fresh soon
found himself heading north on a 2,100 mile footpath that
extends from Georgia to Maine. Seeking to find meaning
and direction to his life after the horrific suicide of a
close friend, he set out on an epic vision quest for
something more. This journey took him to Europe, to Texas
and finally to the internationally-renowned Appalachian
Trail.
Düg is also the author of The Fictionary: A vocabulous
flexicon of jocu-molecular jingo and colloquialiscious
flapinations, available on Amazon, and hopes to one day
walk around the world on the International Peace Trail.
