Produktbeschreibung
In 2016, I had the opportunity to ride my bicycle along the Hiawatha Trail with my nine year old granddaughter, Haidyn. The route of the Hiawatha mountain biking and hiking trail winds its way for 15 miles through the Bitterroot Mountains of North Idaho and Western Montana while traversing 10 tunnels and negotiating 7 trestles. Still called the Milwaukee Road, when it was completed over a century ago, it became one of the most scenic and iconic stretches of railroad in the United States. My reminiscences became the basis for this book, which is itself an allegory of our times. In this allegory, Haidyn Hudson serves as a role model for those who would embrace adversity as a God-given opportunity for personal growth and achievement.
Autorenporträt
Phil Hudson and his wife Jan have 7 children and over twenty-five grandchildren. They enjoy spending time with their family at their cabin nestled in the Selkirk Mountains, on the shore of Priest Lake, the crown jewel of North Idaho. Phil had a successful dental practice in Spokane, Washington for 43 years, before retiring in 2015. He has an eclectic mix of hobbies, and enjoys the out of doors. He always finds time, however, to record his thoughts on his laptop, and understands Isaac Asimov's response when he was asked: If you knew that you had only 10 minutes left to live, what would you do?" He answered: "I'd type faster." Phil received the inspiration to write this book while he and Jan were serving as missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in the Kingdom of Tonga. While there, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
