Captain Blue on the Blue Blazes by Andy Niekamp Pdf

Imagine walking 1,444 miles with a backpack carrying the bare necessities of life, 26 maps, and a whole lot of grit. When three-time Appalachian Trail Hiker, Andy "Captain Blue" Niekamp decided to hike Ohio's Buckeye Trail, he took on the challenge of his life. On this 88-day adventure, Captain Blue found things he didn't know he had: a Buckeye Trail family who assisted and encouraged him; a home state rich with scenic beauty and history; the physical, mental, and emotional stamina to travel Ohio alone and on foot. Readers will enjoy the trail tales of Captain Blue, past and present, and his knack for bringing humor and good-natured reflection to a hiker's experiences in the elements: the cold, snow, wind, rain, heat, and humidity of springtime in Ohio; the physical test of walking for miles every day on a variety of treadways; the unpredictability of nature; and the sincere generosity of strangers.

Follow the Blue Blazes by Connie Pond,Robert J. Pond Pdf

Many changes have taken place in the decade since Follow the Blue Blazes was first published, changes in the trails themselves and in the way we hike them. The Buckeye Trail still wends its way around the state of Ohio, following the course marked out by the characteristic blue blazes on trees and signposts along the way. In the intervening years, however, sections of the trail have changed their route, added amenities, or just grown more interesting. From the startling rock formations and graceful waterfalls of Old Man’s Cave, to Native American mounds, battlefields, and scenic rivers, Connie and Robert J. Pond provide a captivating guide to often-overlooked treasures around the state. Each chapter features an overview of a 100-mile section of the trail and three self-guided featured hikes. The overviews and the accompanying maps may be read consecutively to acquaint the reader with the entire course of the trail. But most readers will best enjoy the trail by taking the guide along on one of the featured hikes. Each route is outlined on an easy-to-read map with GPS coordinates and waypoints to guide the hiker, as well as explicit directions from parking lot to trailhead. The Buckeye Trail is readily accessible from Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, Cleveland, and Akron. Even a short trip can lead to an adventure near your own backyard.

Mama Sees Stars by Deborah Sharp Pdf

My stars and garters—Hollywood has descended on little ol' Himmarshee, Florida. As animal wrangler for a cowboy film, Mace is on the set when she discovers the arrogant executive producer shot dead, his body on display in the horse corral. With everyone from spoiled starlets to conniving crew members cursing the man's name, who in blue blazes didn't want to kill Norman Sydney? As Mama's head swells to diva proportions, thanks to her miniscule movie role, Mace shines an unwelcome spotlight on the big-city film folk to reveal a killer. Praise: "This zany fourth entry in Sharp's series is a feature worthy of the big screen."—Library Journal "Sibling rivalry, steamy romance, a surprising killer, and plenty of catfish and hush puppies make this Southern cozy a winner."—Library Journal "An amusing tale of life and love in the kind of Florida town that tourists rarely see."—Kirkus Reviews "A terrific combination of sleuthing and silliness."—St. Petersburg Times "Mama Sees Stars is The Golden Girls meet Entourage."—The Florida Book Review "Energetic plots and laugh-out loud humor are staples of Sharp's series, and the author's skills are at their finest in Mama Sees Stars."—Oline Cogdill, South Flordia Sun-Sentinel "Who knew that a who-dun-it would not only keep you guessing—but have you laughing!"—Hoda Kotb, NBC Today ShowCo-Anchor on Mama Dpes Time

Only the Valiant by Barbara Keen Pdf

The Savage family was destined to turn the pages of history and write their own heritage—this is their story. With faith in God and unwavering courage, they immigrated to America, crossing the untried frontiers in the early 1800’s to forge a new life. Many hardships challenged their faith in the Almighty to sustain them. Breaching the doors of hardships, they aspired to bridge its chasms leaving the outcome to the will of God. The people of this great era became the forefathers of a country untraveled, where men were free to dream and carry them out. The building of this grand nation was a siege for glory that eluded many, yet they persevered with a renewed hope to build a nation of their own liking and with their own hands. Coleen Palmer, a fire-haired beauty from Ireland, whose love for a gentle Irishman, Erick Savage, led her to willingly abandon her wealthy, affluent heritage, choosing rather to be a part of the future and struggles of a budding nation—where Only the Valiant prevailed.

Granite Mountain by Brendan McDonough Pdf

The true story behind the events that inspired the major motion picture Only the Brave. A "unique and bracing" (Booklist) first-person account by the sole survivor of Arizona's disastrous 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire, which took the lives of 19 "hotshots"--firefighters trained specifically to battle wildfires. Brendan McDonough was on the verge of becoming a hopeless, inveterate heroin addict when he, for the sake of his young daughter, decided to turn his life around. He enlisted in the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a team of elite firefighters based in Prescott, Arizona. Their leader, Eric Marsh, was in a desperate crunch after four hotshots left the unit, and perhaps seeing a glimmer of promise in the skinny would-be recruit, he took a chance on the unlikely McDonough, and the chance paid off. Despite the crew's skepticism, and thanks in large part to Marsh's firm but loving encouragement, McDonough unlocked a latent drive and dedication, going on to successfully battle a number of blazes and eventually win the confidence of the men he came to call his brothers. Then, on June 30, 2013, while McDonough--"Donut" as he'd been dubbed by his team--served as lookout, they confronted a freak, 3,000-degree inferno in nearby Yarnell, Arizona. The relentless firestorm ultimately trapped his hotshot brothers, tragically killing all 19 of them within minutes. Nationwide, it was the greatest loss of firefighter lives since the 9/11 attacks. Granite Mountain is a gripping memoir that traces McDonough's story of finding his way out of the dead end of drugs, finding his purpose among the Granite Mountain Hotshots, and the minute-by-minute account of the fateful day he lost the very men who had saved him. A harrowing and redemptive tale of resilience in the face of tragedy, Granite Mountain is also a powerful reminder of the heroism of the people who put themselves in harm's way to protect us every day.

The Spy by Clive Cussler,Justin Scott Pdf

Twentieth century detective Isaac Bell takes on the world of warfare when America’s naval research and development experts begin to die one by one in this #1 New York Times-bestselling historical action adventure. 1908 marks a year of ever-escalating international tension as the world plunges toward war. And with America on the brink, it comes as a devastating blow to learn of the apparent suicide of one of the United States’ most brilliant battleship-gun designers. The death becomes a media sensation, and the man’s grief-stricken daughter turns to the legendary Van Dorn Detective Agency to clear her father’s name. Van Dorn puts his chief investigator on the case, and Isaac Bell soon sees that the clues point not to suicide, but to murder. As Bell notices more suspicious deaths among the nation’s sharpest technological minds, he begins to suspect the work of an elusive spy somehow connected to a top-secret project called Hull 44. But that is just the beginning. As the intrigue deepens, Bell will find himself pitted against German, Japanese, and British spies, in a mission that encompasses dreadnought battleships, Teddy Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet, Chinatown, Hell’s Kitchen, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Isaac Bell has certainly faced perilous situations before, but this time it is more than the future of his country that’s at stake—it’s the fate of the world.

How Christopher T. Twinkles Came To Be by Davinna K. Wilberg,Mosetta Penick Phillips-Cermak, Pdf

New lifeforms are created every day and everywhere in the universe, including on a loading dock on the Planet Zora. A lonely outcast, Missy Chrissy is a dockworker who's convinced her strict boss is going to fire her any minute. When she drops a shipping crate and it shatters, Missy is sure she's lost her job and will be banished. She clutches an Earth-built teddy bear that tumbled from the crate and covers it with her tears. Suddenly, the stuffed-toy teddy bear moves. Reports detailing this revolutionary new lifeform go viral, and not everyone is pleased about the unexpected miracle. The king proclaims the teddy bear must be returned to Earth and destroyed, but Missy asserts her right as its procreator to decide its fate. Missy, her boss, three somewhat dimwitted security guards, and even a fearless intergalactic warrior have all witnessed evidence of life and are determined to protect the little bear. The unlikely comrades are sent to Earth to face trial. From fanatical cultists set on destroying the teddy bear to those hoping to acquire and exploit its supposed advanced technology, the entire galaxy watches as the court case unfolds. To convince the judge that a three-dollar teddy bear deserves to live--and may even have a message for the universe--Missy just might need another miracle. Christopher T. Twinkles will entertain as it inspires, strengthens, and reinforces the concept of love.
