As this is my show, I thought I'd get myself interviewed
and, in the absence of any questions from my listeners, I went
ahead and asked Diane, my lovely wife, to interview me. She asked
me a few things I hadn't really thought too much about and,
listening back as I edited the show, I realized how much I'd
changed in the past few years. The thought say, ten years ago, that
somebody would one day interview me about hiking was as likely as
somebody asking Kim Kardashian the nuances of nuclear fission. It
just wouldn't happen. 
I was able to reflect further on
my own hike, as well as my upcoming trip back onto the AT and my
real task for the year of my second (and probably last) attempt at
the John Muir Trail. I'll be blogging about that journey and
eventually writing a book about it. 
You should know my email address by now, but
you can also find me on Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, and
YouTube.
I love to hear from people and always respond. Atticus (Jessa /
Attie) is through the Smokies and continues to have a blast. She
seems to be having the best of the weather in this rather
unpredictable year. Fear and Loathing this week is a longer than
normal interview, with Gabe Burkhardt (Hermes or Sketch). He talks
of the importance of finishing his 2016 hike and the internal
precipice he found himself on the edge of during that hike. This is
a powerful conversation that you may consider unsuitable for
children. Read Gabe's excellent blog. He pulls no punches
and illustrates his stories with great sketches. Thanks as ever for
supporting the show, either on Patreon or
buying my books. I'm so grateful to everybody for their
support. Remember, you can also get my free e-book, Hiking the
Appalachian Trail is Easy: Especially if You've Never Hiked
