Description
A light-hearted account of two close friends accomplishing an American odyssey. Adventurer Joe Glickman and his friend, outdoor photographer Nels Akerlund, tell of their completed 50-state quest which began in 1994, when, over glasses of beer, they hatched a plan to climb America's 50 state summits while documenting the expedition. Expecting the exercise to take six months, Joe and Nels found themselves embarking on a five-year marathon.Tags
