Walking Woodstock: Journeys into the Wild Heart of America’s Most Famous Small Town

At a poetry gathering one evening, authors Michael Perkins and Will Nixon decided to walk across Woodstock—not just the modern town of busy roads, but the older village of bluestone quarries, abandoned forest paths and mountain views they had all to themselves. Walking Woodstock col- lects their adventures, many first published in the Woodstock Times, that ranged  from the delights of finding spring flowers to the fears of a mountain rescue. Full of humor, friendship, nature, hikers’ lore and walkers’ musings, these journeys reveal the wild heart that beats in all of us when we set forth to explore our home terrain on foot. Softcover, 236 pages, trim size 6 x 9 inches. Published by Bushwhack Books in 2009. ISBN: 9781935534396.
