This is a travel journal the author wrote while visiting India for the first time and trekking for 18 days in Nepal and the Himalayas. It begins in Delhi and moves to the Taj Mahal, a tea estate and plantation in Darjeeling, Nepal and ends in Sikkim where the author hikes to Guicha La (16,400 feet) at the base of Kanchenjunga - the third highest mountain in the world. It was primarily intended to be a personal memoir for his friends and family and fellow trekkers but others who are interested in India and trekking in the high Himalayas might enjoy this highly descriptive account of a trip in October of 2008.
Travel back in time to the summer of 1981 and meet Daniel Barnes whose world is turned upside down when he receives a mysterious letter on his 18th birthday informing him that his father, who disappeared when he was a baby, has left him an inheritance that he desperately needs to pay for college provided he can resist temptation and abide by a "morals clause" while working as a camp counselor at an historic resort in the Poconos.
