Product Description
In 2002 William Hood began a solo journey across the Weminuche Wilderness Area of the San Juan Mountains in southern Colorado. Alone, with only a backpack and some supplied, William Hood set out along the continental divide for a 100 mile trek. In recounting this extraordinary journey, Hood explores Colorado's varied history, relating it to his own personal experiences. Encountering guardian angels, magnificent wildlife, and angry, threatening weather, Hood weaves an enriching and comical story about what it means to be human in today's modern world. Searching for a Perfect State of Colorado looks deeply into the issues facing each person today - balancing personal harmony with outside influences. William Hood's enlightening journey reminds all of us that we are all still searching for a better existence; a perfect state of mind in the perfect state of Colorado.

Facinating & entertaining May 14, 2008
A challenging hike in Colorado becomes a journey through Colorado history and a personal journey of self-discovery. Funny and insightful, Hood brings the reader along on an adventure that changes the writer and changes the reader in surprising ways. This is a fascinating book that I read in one sitting and felt entertained, emotionally touched, enlightened and wanting more at the end. I am going to reread it and then look forward to his next book.
This book about Colorado is an adventure, a comedy, and educational! May 14, 2008

In this book, Searching For a Perfect State of Colorado, published by Buu Press, Bill backpacks 100 miles in the Weminuche Wilderness on top of the continental divide all by himself. You'll experience his physical, mental, and spiritual experiences. His hiking events here and life events are intertwined and related to fascinating history in Colorado, some including Baby Doe and Horace Tabor, the last known grizzly bear, John Denver, Silverado, Columbine H.S., Alfred Packer, Mesa Verde, San Juan Valley unidentified flying objects, Chief Ouray and more. The book is comical and sometimes controversial. It is an entertaining book with interesting history; perfect if you've lived in Colorado or plan on vacationing there.
