the description of

the death of lady, the horse

was excellently, horribly paced—very memorable. i found myself uninterested in a lot of the descriptions of the trail but strayed’s ruminations on her mother (particularly the fox on the trail and the section where she describes feeling anger at her mother, especially her anger that she died when strayed was young, keeping her trapped a child) will stay with me

this is a memoir where all i can really say is that im so glad cheryl was so open with her life in this book, giving us readers such an intimate look into her story as she took us all along with her on the pacific crest trail.

It says in my ‘read’ history that I’ve read this book three times now (including this last one, in 2023). To be honest, I remember reading it twice (don’t know what happened there - a glitch in the matrix? My memory is not the greatest in the last few years). That said, I don’t know how I could forget it, because I love this book so much, it seems impossible to me I’d forget the experience of reading it. Anyways, every time I read it I get emotional, immersed, inspired by Cheryl and her experience(s) and I just want to put a backpack on and go (and I’d have the same problem with packing, I bet 😅). I haven’t yet - not to that extent (3 months in the wilderness), though I’ve traveled both solo and accompanied, sometimes with a backpack, other times with a carry on, and I always learn something about myself/the place/someone else/… I’ve watched the movie, too, but I don’t like how it takes some of the decisions she made (in the book and her life) away from her and distorted them as suggestions and decisions made for her (I’ve only noticed it this time around). It’s very probable I’ll read it again in the future, to inspire myself to make changes and be bold and adventurous. ‘Till next time. ✨
