Way out there : adventures of a wilderness trekker / J. Robert Harris ; foreword by Roscoe C. Brown Jr. by Harris, J. Robert. Mountaineers Books, c2017. Call #: 796.51092 H314w Subjects Harris, J. Robert -- Travel.   Wilderness areas -- Biography.   Hiking -- Anecdotes.   Adventure and adventurers -- United States -- Biography.   Explorers, Black. -- Biography.   Adventure travel -- Biography. ISBN:  9781680511208 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Adventures of a wilderness trekker Notes:  "I have never been lonely when alone in the wild."--Back cover. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Way Out There is an account of J. Robert Harris’s extraordinary exploits while backpacking in some of the world’s most tantalizing places, largely alone and unsupported. And after almost fifty years of wilderness travel, "J. R.," as he’s known, has plenty of tales to tell! His stories are by turns funny, tragic, and uplifting, and are all told in his down-to-earth, friendly style. For J. R., it all began in 1966 when, as a young New Yorker, he impulsively drives his VW Beetle across the country to the very end of the northernmost road in Alaska, searching for an answer to a simple question: What is it like to be way out there? How this happened, whom he met, and what he encountered along the way became the foundation for a lifelong attraction to trekking and adventure travel. Subsequent chapters chronologically explore some of his many journeys, revealing an enduring wanderlust honed by his emerging maturity and outdoor skills. Stories of J. R.’s solo treks point to stark contrasts between his urban upbringing and his wilderness wanderings, while tales of adventure with small but diverse groups of friends are enriched by their collective experiences and varying viewpoints about exploration. Way Out There is a lively yet introspective book by a restless soul that will attract countless readers who love to travel, as well as armchair adventurers and communities looking for outdoor role models. The foreword is by the late Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, Jr., one of the famed Tuskegee Airmen fighter pilots during World War II."--Publisher's website.
