Episode 102: Backcountry Halloween

Recorded earlier today – Episode 102 our Halloween special. Some scary ass stuff that has happened in the backcountry in the last two decades. Will have it live in time for Halloween.

7 mile evening hike at Cane Creek Park during a business trip to N.C. This week. Haven’t been here since a 1991 camping trip with WFU friends. Major upgrades to the park since then.

Just got these Altra Lone Peaks and had a chance to test them on hikes these last few weekends. Thanks to those that weighed in on this ultralight shoe purchase. Very pleased so far with their performance on the trail.
