Query: Benchley on the Appalachian Trail

This is the first book of Bryson's I've read, and I'm looking forward to reading them all! Bill Bryson reminds me very much of Robert Benchley, although it's difficult to imagine Benchley on the trail with a big pack. My very favorite parts of the book were when Katz and Bryson were hiking together; I missed Katz when he dropped out for a while to work in Des Moines. While missing Katz, though, I enjoyed Bryson's pull-no-punches discussion of the fate of the AT, and the ham-handed role the national park service has played in its existence.
