Bob Welch finished his PCT hike with a sequel

Former Register-Guard columnist and editor Bob Welch has added to the reading list with the publication of “Seven Summers (And a Few Bummers).”

Seven Summers, a sequel to Cascade Summer (2012), answers one question among many: After “just doing Oregon,” can two sixty-something brothers-in-law complete the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail that defeats more than half those who attempt it? Poignant, poetic, and fall-down funny, this endearing story from the award-winning Welch will help readers understand the soul of America’s iconic trail, laugh in the face of aging, celebrate friendship, and, hikers or not, consider living life with more thirst for adventure.

The book is available through his website at www.bobwelchwriter.com.

Bob Welch made it to the end of the Pacific Crest Trail in Canada on August 10, 2022 with his hiking partner and brother-in-law Glenn Peterson.
