Just Passin' Thru
A Vintage Store, the Appalachian Trail, and a Cast of Unforgettable Characters
«
“Winton Porter is one real character recounting many other real characters. That’s the true Appalachian Trail conversation, but he is a classic country storyteller. In his words you also get the sounds, the smells, and the scenes—smoothly crafted to get under your skin.”
—Brian B. King, Appalachian Trail Conservancy“I love, love, love this book. It’s funny, poignant, inspiring.”
—Janece Shaffer, Atlanta Playwright“This book is gonna fly, dear friend, it’s gonna fly!”
—M. J. “Nimblewill Nomad” Eberhardt, author of Ten Million Steps“For a guy whose job has him posted in the middle of nowhere, Winton Porter certainly draws a crowd.”
—Bo Emerson, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution“Just Passin' Thru is a work of genius.”

—Scott Ourth, former assistant secretary of state for the State of Iowa

Like a well-crafted stage play, Just Passin' Thru delivers one suspenseful scene after another. But in this historic setting — a store on the Appalachian Trail called Mountain Crossings — the characters who show up are no fictional creations. They are the real-life stars of the author’s new life as a backpack-purging, canteen-selling, hostel-running, bandage-taping, lost-child finding, argument-settling, romance-fixing, chili-making man of many faces. Like any good drama, there are the good guys (and gals) and the weirdos, too. Some show up once (and that’s enough), and some appear again and again. Some are friends, and some dangerous. But all are united by two things: the author’s story-capturing talent, and whatever it is that lures them to attempt (or conquer) a 2,200-mile path that climbs and plummets from Georgia to Maine.
