  • Still an Enjoyable Journey

    I discovered this podcast almost 5 years after it aired. I listened to the first show and I was hooked! I wound up listening to every single episode and truly enjoyed being along for the journey. I would highly recommend the show for those who are interested in the possibility of a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail or who simply would enjoy living vicariously through the experience.
