I first crossed paths with Alpha Gal back in the Summer of 2020 on a section of the Appalachian Trail. John met up with me and Maria Wishart on a section of trail just north of Shenandoah National Park. In fact as I am typing this it was July 4th 2020! Since then we have kept in touch mostly via Instagram and it's long over due to have Alpha Gal on the podcast! He's continued to Section Hike the AT and I hope he will share his plans with us for an AT Thru Hike in 2024!

Jessica launched Virginia Outdoor Adventures because she wanted to provide a platform for Virginians of all backgrounds to tell their stories, to share their connection to the outdoors, and to build a local community where the outdoors are for everyone. She also wanted to tell these stories through a conservation lens to encourage others to be stewards of the outdoors.

Jessica is passionate about featuring outdoor recreation and travel opportunities close to home, while also supporting local businesses, tourism, and economic development.

Jessica is an avid hiker, cyclist, climber, backpacker, kayaker, photographer, and birder and has earned the Virginia State Parks "Master Hiker" designation.

Enjoy this Highlight Clip from Episode #162. Andrea's New Book, TRAIL OF THE LOST released on 8/22/23! 

Andrea Lankford is the author of TRAIL OF THE LOST and RANGER CONFIDENTIAL, a National Geographic "Top Ten Book About U.S. Parks," and three trail guides. During her twelve-year career as a law enforcement ranger with the National Park Service, Andrea won several awards for her criminal investigations. After leaving the ranger ranks, the accomplished outdoorswoman thru-hiked the entire Appalachian Trail, kayaked from Miami to Key West, and was the first, with Beth Overton, to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail. Andrea is now a registered nurse living in Northern California.

Debbi Komlo also known as Omi set our for an adventure of a lifetime with the intention of thru hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2023. Omi certainly had her ups and downs and ultimately decided she would get off trail but continue to section hike the AT. Out on a section hike near Pearisburg, VA she had a fall which resulted in a head injury and many, many stitches. Omi's journey may look different than she originally thought but she is still hiking and putting miles in out on the AT!
