Riding The Crest: 

Not a Walk in the Park 

Riding the Crest tells of the tremendous challenges of living everyday in the wilderness traveling from point to point in order to reach a goal, much like the pioneers of old. Each day consisted of breaking down the camp, loading up her horses with over 200 pounds, and riding 20 or so miles to the next night’s camp, where Janice cared for her horses, set up her camp, and then took care of herself. She had to learn how to eat enough to have the energy to travel miles the next day, to care for her horses in an emergency when her supplies were limited, and to overcome the loss of all her hopes. 

Riding the Crest  reflects both the physical journey as well as the journey of life; choices made that directed the results, an outlook on life. Janice was raised camping and enjoying the outdoors but had never spent six months virtually alone in the wilderness. She was to discover whether her love of the outdoors was enough to see her through days in the desert, rain and snow below 30 degrees, and being lost without anyone to help. She was to challenge more of her own thoughts than she ever imagined.

Riding the Crest will appeal to those who know the Pacific Crest Trail, those hikers and riders who have ever conquered a trail, those who love the great outdoors, nature, and horses in particular, those who dream of traveling beyond their present boundaries, and anyone with a sense of adventure. The book is a unique photographic journal of an epic adventure.
