Cornucopia: a Journey Through the Mountains of Gold Laurel Bryan

What begins as a relaxing, back to nature backpacking trip into Oregon's rugged Eagle Cap wilderness soon evolves into a three month adventure of a lifetime for three people and a big white dog. Physically unprepared and ill equipped, the party sets out on a three day hiking trip only to discover Mother Nature is not always willing to accommodate such novice trespassers in her back yard. Forced to confront the challenges of nature's wrath head on, each hiker learns true loss is not in the absence of material things, but rather the failure to discover the strength which is inside each of us. Follow the incredible journey as these ragtag wanna-be hikers set out to discover new trails and discover instead that sometimes it's not always the destination, but the journey that is most remembered.
