Section Hiking IS A DIFFERENT MINDSET!
samedi 4 novembre 2023 • Duration 07:49
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!

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.

Debbie Komlo (Omi) | Onward With Omi
samedi 16 septembre 2023 • Duration 35:33
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!
