A balance of difficulty will roughly be divided into thirds: easier (about 25% of the routes), modest (50%), and difficult (25%).

Each of the 50 chapters includes full-color photography and maps. None of the routes are harder than class 3, making this guide suitable to hikers of all skill levels, with no need to use technical mountaineering gear. Detailed write-ups include accurate driving directions, at-a-glance stats for the peak, a turn-by-turn description of the primary route, optional route info, and when relevant, interesting history or stories about the featured peak.

But time is running out, the danger is running high, and he has his own secrets… A page-turning mystery suspense tells the story of a female underwater dredge miner who becomes obsessed with saving her family business from disaster. On a sunny summer day, underwater dredge owner Buck Darling almost drowns in a gold diving accident in Nome, Alaska. His daughter, Aurora, must pick up the pieces and find a way to overcome financial ruin as the only woman dredge operator on the Bering Sea. Forced to hire Ben, a mysterious former Navy diver, Aurora suspects he may have a criminal background. As she uncovers the dark truth surrounding his past, Aurora comes face-to-face with her burgeoning feelings for the man—and some in the small, isolated Alaska town aren’t happy about it. Her digging unearths a painful truth about the legacy of her father: a legendary figure in Nome. For Aurora, another lie connected to her seemingly cursed family background pushes her over the edge. Driven by curiosity and a need for the truth, Aurora, with the aid of her best friend, is drawn deeper and deeper into the mystery. But time is running out, the danger is running high, and getting on the gold may be her only salvation.

Download or read book Stagecoach West written by Ralph Moody and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1998-06-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stagecoach West is a comprehensive history of stagecoaching west of the Missouri. Starting with the evolution of overland passenger transportation, Moody moves on to paint a lively and informative picture of western stagecoaching, from its early short runs through its rise with the gold rush, its zenith of 1858–68, and beyond. Its story is one of grand rivalries, political chicanery, and gaudy publicity stunts, traders, fortune hunters, outlaws, courageous drivers, and indefatigable detectives. We meet colorful characters such as Charlie Parkhurst, a stagecoach driver who took an amazing secret to his death: “he” was actually a woman. Using contemporary accounts, illustrations, maps, and photographs to flesh out his narrative, Moody creates one of the most important accounts of transportation history to date.

Download or read book A Purpose Ridden written by Ryan Correy and published by Rocky Mountain Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-05-04 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1996, a father and his 13-year-old son embarked on a 3400 km bicycle tour across Canada. Affectionately known as “Manhood Training,” this unique bonding experience became the inspiration for Ryan Correy to break away from convention and turn a passion for cycling into his purpose in life. The world’s most extreme cycling challenges serve as an evolving proving ground for the young rider – including self-doubt on a solo tour to Arizona after high school, falling asleep and crashing into a cemetery gate on the grueling Race Across America (“The toughest sporting event in the world”), murder and robbery along the Pan American Highway (“The longest road in the world”), a near mountaintop helicopter rescue while traversing the infamous Tour Divide (“The longest mountain bike race in the world”), cashing in after being hit by a car in California, hallucinations and foot-crippling pain on a six-day, 20-hour stationary cycling world record attempt, and plenty more . A Purpose Ridden is an honest and often obsessive first-hand account of becoming one of Canada’s most respected adventure cyclists. Ryan shares in great detail the sponsorship woes, the evolution of his ego, an admiration for flawed role model Lance Armstrong, the many accolades earned, family tragedy and, of course, the evolving relationship with his father, their fights, and friendships lost along the way. The path less travelled begins with a paternal taunt: “We’re close enough to home. If you want, we can call your mother to come and pick you up now.”
