The Hiker Yearbook is fast becoming a must-have item for
thru-hikers of recent years. Matthew Odie Norman is providing a
great service to hikers as he not only provides trail magic but
also puts together his own version of magic with this glorious
keepsake from that magical time in the woods. He is reaching out to
his community to allow them to reconnect after the trail, answering
his own question after reaching the summit of Katahdin, "What's the
second book?" The Hiker Yearbook is the second book.
Critically, he would
appreciate the support back from his community in the form of your
vote, every day until April 5. Click on
Fedex to be taken directly to the voting site. Please don't
pass this by. We can do it. You can reach out to Odie in
several ways. There is his website, Facebook, and
Instagram.
Check him out and encourage this great project. You can also email
him directly at hikeryearbook@gmail.com.
Jessa, or Atticus, or
Attie, is on her way. The first interview, from Gooch Gap is pretty
lousy quality, which was entriely down to my boyish enthusiasm and
stupidity, but the second is a lot better. She is having a blast
and I hope you're looking forward to hearing more from her as she
makes her way north. The amazing Stacey Kozell continues
to disarm me with her glorious self-deprecation as she
describes her pre-trail concerns in Fear & Loathing on the
Appalachian Trail. Yes, her concerns APART from being paralyzed.
You never have a conversation with Stacey without feeling better
about your own blessings. You can support my efforts in the
show by buying my books or supporting the show on Patreon. There is
a button that can take you directly to my Patreon page, or you
could simply click here.
