October Vagabonds by Richard Le Gallienne (1866 - 1947).
Richard and his friend Colin must sadly return from their distant hermitage to New York City at summer's end. However, rather than take the train on the 430 mile trip to the city, the two decide to walk the route, for as Richard stated: "Don't you hate the idea of being hurled along in a train, and suddenly shot into the city again, like a package through a tube?" Certainly a lengthy walk it would be, but the two decide that "getting there is the most enjoyable and informative part", and their trek begins. Along the way, they meet people they never would have met; they witness landscape, nature and habitat which they wouldn't have otherwise seen; and they learn about themselves and their place in the world which they may not have otherwise comprehended. A clever travelogue of two artistic types from first person point of view. ( Roger Melin)
Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated). Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

OK, all ready! I'll leave us in the Launch Pad for a day or so to see if we can acquire a DPL.
Have fun!

Would enjoy being DPL but I'm going on a two-week hiking trip this weekend with my wife (September Vagabonds!). I may not be able to PL until I return.

You did when I was a new admin and first MCed for you and I'm gratified to hear it again. It is always pleasant to know that what one appreciates is appreciated by others.
That quote grounds me when I'm feeling less than adequate and self-confidence ebbs. For an uneducated man Popeye is quite a philosopher.
And now that we're fully populated I'll move us to Going Solo!

This was catalogued prior to the crash so the files are all safe at archive.org. The info is missing from our catalogue and I will be reinstating it as soon as I can.
EDIT: All done, back in the catalogue.
