Tracks by Robyn Davidson

from The Roamers Book Club Hosted by Black Gold Cabin

"The most difficult part of any endeavor is taking the first step, making the first decision." We discuss Tracks by Robyn Davidson and her empowering 273-day, 1700-mile trek across the western Australian desert with four camels and a dog. Why she did it, what total solitude in the desert (without screens) would be like, why people care so much about names, and how exciting it is to get to know plants! Includes a can't-miss scary camel story from Uncle John.
