June 4, 2017 By 2 Comments
In Episode 41, we revisit Trail Days in Damascus, Virginia on March 13, 1995.

The podcast is a remix of interviews that I did with ten hikers that were on the Trail in 1994. Yes there were far fewer backpackers on the … [Read more...]

Here is the World Wide Wanderer (aka 3W) relaxing on the balcony of the LeConte View Motel. He shared some photos and video from the Trail and detailed his first three weeks on the A.T. We absorbed it like a sponge, then offered to buy him dinner - a gesture that no thru-hiker … [Read more...]
