They Call Me Panda - Matt Hunt - Bog

"Help me, help me!" was all I heard on that sunny morning.There was my son running down the Appalachian Trail with his shorts around his ankles and me laughing so hard I pissed myself. His first encounter with a bear, at what could best be described as a crappy moment. You might ask, "What brought us to this?"Well, it was my son who put the idea in my head that we should attempt hiking the Appalachian Trail, and in the Spring of 2006 we did just that.The is a humorous story of a father and son bonding over months as they hiked the legendary Appalachian trail, a 2,200 mile torturous path winding through thirteen states from Georgia to Maine. It is the tale of the characters they met, the wildlife they encountered, and mishaps that befell them.It is not a story of triumph, accomplishment, perseverance, nor soul searching. It is a laughable account of a Dad and his son just trying to survive while outdoing each other on this ridiculous journey, and it is all truthful, well mostly truthful.The authors are indeed father and son and have known each other their whole life. This novel took them years in the making between the bouts of wine, beer, disagreements, erroneous recall, and arguments.
