A Must Read for hikers.

Geraldine “Inchworm” Largay’s Appalachian Trail (AT) hiking adventure has been tastefully researched and retold by Denis Dauphinee in his book captioned, “When you find my body.” For me, Dauphinee’s personal journey with Gerry Largay’s AT experiences can be likened to that of Mitch Albom’s regular meetings with his former sociology professor, as described in his book “Tuesdays with Morrie.” Dauphinee has sensitively written a deeply moving tribute to Inchworm’s AT thru-hike and the search and rescue (SAR) efforts of countless people who teamed up to bring Gerry home, to her family.

As a seasoned hiker with thousands of kilometers underfoot from several countries, I still respect and value the lessons that I am able to extract from the experiences of those who have gone before me. As the ex-President of South Africa’s NPO – The Hiking Organisation of Southern Africa; I am always looking at hiking from a trail safety and hiker preparedness perspective. Gerry’s story really talked to me on both levels; by serving as a solid practical reminder to be prepared as a hiker and to continue to professionally share trail safety and hiker preparedness information with trail users.

Dauphine’s elegantly penned Inchworm AT Bio delivered a few key life lessons for me:
a) Live your dream.
b) Love your circle of influence; God, your friends and your family, well.
c) Be prepared for all eventualities, on and off trail.
d) Kindness, both given and received is a rare grace to hang on to with both hands.

Additionally, this book offer readers a peek into the gargantuan mission of a SAR operation, and it’s psychological and emotional impact on the SAR personnel. I have a renewed appreciation for SAR personnel and am indebted to their committedness and kindness for wanting to find and rescue strangers.

Above all, “When you find my body” is underpinned by just how unpredictable life can be. So, from one hiker to another, let us honor Gerry Largay’s life by doing two things: Be prepared for on and off trail eventualities and let’s continue to spread some of that Trail Magic.
