Overview
In this unique memoir, noted writer, environmental activist, and Pacific Northwest native Harvey Manning describes a memorable walk along the shoreline from Seattle to Bellingham -- a 150-mile trek on which Manning covered nearly 3,000 foot-miles over a two-year period of walking routes in the lowlands and foothills of the Puget Basin.Harvey Manning is the author of many Northwest trail guides, but this is no trail guide. It is a beautifully written tale of "low adventure," a personal account of Manning's experiences and thoughts during his long walk, mingled with memories of particular beaches over many decades and reflections on the area's natural history.
