[pct-l] Impact of WILD on PCT numbers

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

A Thru-Hiker's Heart is for sure WAY better than Wild. But I have to  
admit that all my friends think my 2 books about hiking the PCT are  
also way better than Wild. In fact, probably any PCT journal type  
book that is actually about the trail experience is better than Wild  
to those who are interested in the trail. But A Thru-Hiker's Heart is  
definitely one of the absolute best ones.

Shameless sort of book promotion by Piper
