Story
The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

For 30 years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about "the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician." Finally, the right time, and the right tour. In the summer of 2004, after three decades, 20 gold albums, and thousands of performances, the band Rush embarked on a 30th Anniversary World Tour. The "R30" tour traveled to nine countries, where the band performed 57 shows for more than half a million fans. Uniquely, Peart chose to do his between-show traveling by motorcycle, riding 21,000 miles of back roads.

Very Good insights from a personal perspective
Paul Brodie takes a different tack from most other travel books. I appreciate his input as I have already read Travel Planet's book on Maui. His is unabashedly not intended to compete directly with that kind of book. Paul's insights and experience allow the reader to gain an insider's expertise that one could not obtain by reading Fodors or Travel Planet.
Overall I recommend the read, particularly for $4.87. Do not use a "credit" to buy this read. That would just be foolish.
Before listening to the book, please understand three things:
1) Paul vacations with his mom. I applaud their obvious close relationship. Paul references his mother's experience at every instance along with his own. Depending on who you are this could be extremely valuable, tiresome or something in between.
2) Paul uses the phrase "I highly recommend" so often that it becomes hilarious. On the plus side, there is a reason for his every use. Pay attention in spite of your laughter.
3) The English language contains a large number of words ending in "ing". Perhaps 500 or more. Paul uses these words prolifically in his book (as we all do). However, in his narration, he pronounces each and every one with a silent "g". Whereas I realize there are hundreds of dialects and speech patterns in America, the constant "in' " pronunciation of "ing" becomes like nails on a chalkboard to my ears. With any luck, that bothers no one but me.
