This book contains two short stories, inspired by my experiences thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. The first tells of the Ugalu, a Cherokee Nation spirit-beast and how it was instrumental in the creation of the balds in the Southern Appalachians.The second is a tale of Pamola, the Penobscot Nation demon-beast who inhabits the summit of Mount Katahdin, the Northern Terminus of the Appalachian Trail in Maine.Both of these stories are included as bonus material in my previously published book; Take a Hike! A long walk on the Appalachian Trail.  They are duplicated here for anyone who wishes to read them without reading the story of my thru-hike.
