Jason is an experienced hiker with a purpose. This year,
2017, will be his fourth attempt at an Appalachian Trail thru-hike.
His calm demeanor and desire for simplicity in his life made for an
interesting conversation as he prepared to hit the trail in the
next few days (March 2017). I'll be following his progress and wish
him well as he moves toward Katahdin. You can follow Jason's
progress yourself at his blog, Cavey's Adventures. He
can also be found on Facebook and
Youtube.

With just three weeks to go
herself, Jessa is saying her goodbyes. A combined engagement and
farewell party probably emphasized the imminent separation, yet she
is looking forward ever positively. It's going to be great to catch
up with her on the trail. My Fear and Loathing section this
week caught up with my fellow Class of 2014 member, The Muffin Man,
Sam Weber. As others have said, fear of failure was a strong
motivating factor after being an initial concern. Don't
forget to check out my books,
My Appalachian Trial I: Three Weddings and a
Sabbatical and
My Appalachian Trial II: Creaking Geezer, Hidden
Flagon. Once again, just click on either of the links.
They are currently (3/1/2017) at #5 and #9 in the Top 100 Camping
Books on the Kindle Store. I have kept the low price of $2.99 each
that I set at Christmas. I hope that you check them out to support
the show.
