Summary

Join author Ned Rozell and his dear Jane on their great adventure: one aimless summer walking the 800-mile length of the trans-Alaska pipeline-months without clocks, without music or TV or driving, a summer of drinking from rivers that he'd only seen on maps, and a summer of meeting interesting people who have retreated (or advanced?) to a life in remote Alaska. Walking My Dog, Jane is Rozell's tribute to his adopted state and to the travel partner who carried Rozell's heart, and her own backpack, during a summer spent outside. Book jacket.
