Summary

Way Out There is an account of J. Robert Harris's extraordinary exploits while backpacking in some of the world's most tantalizing places largely alone and unsupported. And after almost fifty years of wilderness travel, J.R., as he's known, has plenty of tales to tell! His stories are by turns funny, tragic, and uplifting, and are all told in his down to earth, friendly style. For J.R. it all began in 1966 when, as a young New Yorker, he impulsively drives his VW Beetle across the country to the very end of the northernmost road in Alaska, searching for an answer to a simple question: What is it like to be way out there?
