Over the 84-mile journey, I met many wonderful people and experienced Roman and English history.

The book is filled with original watercolor illustrations by J. Bruce Jones.

"Der Weg ist das Ziel"... es gibt wirklich nicht viele weitere, alte Volksweisheiten, als die gerade erwähnte, um einen wunderschönen Wanderweg zu beschreiben. Der hier beschriebene Weg verläuft über fast 320 Kilometer entlang des "Rheins" und führt von Bonn nach Wiesbaden. Herrliche Aussichten sind hier quasi komplett kostenfrei ... die Zeit für sich selbst und das Interesse an Kultur sollte man natürlich von sich aus in sich tragen. Am Anfang des Weges stand die persönliche Ünerlegung, ein solches Abenteuer auch körperlich zu schaffen. Aus einem eingefleischten Autofahrer wurde so ein Wanderer, dem auch nach der erfolgreichen Bewältigung die verschiedensten Situationen und Erlebnisse dieser Wanderung wohl ein Leben lang in Erinnerung bleiben werden.

This volume, and subsequent volumes, include accounts of the author's explorations of little-traveled byways and remote hilltops in the mountains of Pennsylvania. His descriptions and photos of the unique and unusual places he discovered will appeal to all those who seek adventure and who like to explore odd and mysterious places; places like the Devil's Dining Room, the Indian Steps, the Thousand Steps, Ticklish Rock, Umbrella Rock, and many others that are highlighted in the Pennsylvania Mountain Landmarks series. Much to his delight he also found that there are human interest stories and historical accounts that cling to these same spots and which seem as old as the rocks themselves; tales, that are steeped in the spiritual charm of the Native American and imbued with the pioneering spirit of the Pennsylvania wilderness as it existed when the earliest settlers penetrated its dark interior. Such accounts are the stuff of which legends are made and which add color and mystique to the mountains, forming their very soul. It is this breath of life, hints of a less-complicated and more compelling past that led the author to find the spots where it still survives, and to bask in the local color and lore that surround those places.
