Trail of the Lost: The Relentless Search to Bring Home the Missing Hikers of the Pacific Crest Trail | 
@DebinHawaii It‘s been a good week ❤️ The tagged book is my current audiobook. @Graciouswarriorprincess Share your positives! #5JoysFriday
pickListened to this on audio while working this week. I enjoyed it a lot! I found it so interesting. I‘m not outdoorsy in the least but I can appreciate why people hike these trails. Not that you‘ll ever talk me into it 😂 But yeah, fascinating and heartbreaking all the while
pickI‘m not sure what to say about this book without giving away spoilers. It‘s a nonfiction, the Pacific Crest Trail, lost hikers, and while it was not an easy subject it was a fascinating book.
Reminiscent of The Cold Vanish which I was a fan of..I‘m always intrigued by the mysteries involving those who‘ve vanished in the wilderness. Trail of the Lost is the story of the author‘s experience assisting with the searches of 3 missing hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail. Each missing hiker was a young man who disappeared around 2016. Family members searching become main characters. Don‘t read for a neat conclusion but for the search.
pickFascinating and frustrating. This non-fiction story does not wrap up neatly. That being said, the story is very interesting and informative. I was engaged until the very end. Recommend for those who enjoy nature/mysteries/ nonfiction.
pickWhat a heartbreaking and inspiring book. 3 hikers disappear from the PCT over the course of a few years and the author tells the story how their families deal with the loss and connect with others who feel compelled to help in the search.
pickFascinating read! I loved this one.
I'm not a hiker, but I can understand the pull of those seeking connection with the natural world. Andrea Lankford did a thorough job with her research about three missing hikers and the search to find out what happened to them. She delves into the culture around the hiking world and doesn't shy away from discussing the terrible accidents that can easily claim a hiker's life.

pickUsing her formal SAR knowledge, former NPS Ranger Lankford informally helps families with searches for missing hikers, especially after formal searches have ceased. Here, she keys in on 3 missing hikers and tells the story of the efforts to find them. This is a really interesting look at the ways people can go missing and the things that are helpful in searching vs not. Plus, the writing is very engaging.
