It was such a pleasure hosting Mighty Blue on the Appalachian Trail at our Glasgow location in Virginia.
If you haven't tuned yet, make sure you check out his podcast! In this episode he interviewed Stanimal and Mags and talked about all things trail including the sale of our Virginia location.

With less than 200 miles to go, Nate and I were joined by my friend, Amanda Aguillard, forming our southbound tramily for three days. We got cold but loved the challenge.
