Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read the stories of several amazing characters as they pass through a mountain store and hostel on the Appalachian Trail. Before he was an award-winning author, Winton Porter found success in the outdoor retail business. His family enjoyed living wherever his work took him: Atlanta, Chicago, Salt Lake City. But like so many others, he often stared out the window, wanting something different. Eventually, he cashed in his 401k and ransacked his bank account to become a backpack-purging, tent-selling, hostel-running, first-aid-dispensing, lost-kid-finding, argument-settling, romance-fixing, chili-making shopkeeper deep in the Georgia woods, smack on the Appalachian Trail. Nowadays, Winton opens the door to strangers at midnight, doesn’t wear clean clothes every day, and sometimes eats Snickers bars for breakfast. He also meets amazing people every day and hears some incredible stories! In Just Passin’ Thru, Winton captures the daily reality show of his family’s new life at the store, Mountain Crossings at Walasi-Yi. With humor and grace, he introduces an old man who liked to sleep on his roof, an man in his 80s who still hikes just to keep from getting bored, an ex-Navy SEAL who was sometimes mistaken for a homeless person, and so many others. Among the parade of people who are just passin’ thru, some show up once and others appear again and again. Either way, the author masterfully introduces them to you in the pages of this remarkable book. Inside you’ll find: 20 captivating true stories about real people Photographs that help bring the stories and characters to life Map that shows the location of Winton’s mountain store and hostel
