Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Reader) Signposts and Junctions is a collection of more than forty personal memoirs and travels from Laudizen King. Spanning a period of fifty years, these stories encompass a diverse array of emotions and experiences: from the days of childhood innocence to the jungles of Vietnam, from the White Mountains of New Hampshire to the Appalachian Trail in Georgia, from the beaches of Nantucket to the deserts and mountains of California. Come with the author as he revisits two close encounters with death in the Cabinet Mountains of Montana, remembers a motorcycle accident in Massachusetts, makes two attempts on the highest mountain summit in Southern California, and recalls how he discovered the game of pool as a teenager and became friends with the future world champion and famous hustler Larry Lisciotti.Also in this collection are nine of the authors favorite stories and travels that celebrate the years he spent camping and exploring in the White Mountains of New Hampshire: ‘My AMC White Mountain Guides’, ‘Out of the Fog’, ‘Red Flannel Hash’, and more. From a wild night of revelry (‘Through the Past Darkly with Sven Saws and Candle Lanterns’), to the challenges presented by a May blizzard (‘Mt Garfield Dream’), and in the simple joys of making camp alone at night in the driving rain (‘May Camp’), Laudizen King reveals his affection and respect for the White Mountains and shows us that every moment spent doing the things we love is something to be cherished and enjoyed.
