I can actually make quite a few connections with this book. I lived in Colorado for a long period of my life, and I spent a lot of time in the mountains. I have a particular liking for them, and so that helps me gain a great interest in the topic of the book. So just the fact that I can visualize much better the things that Bryson is talking about because I know what the mountains are like, is one connection. Also I have never spent more than a day in the mountains outside a campground, and I do have a desire to do just what these guys are doing, there is another connection.
Just specific events and occurrences that they experience remind me of people that I know. Sometimes thinking of those people leads to other connections and memories as well. I really enjoy reading these types of books.
