Sep 25, 2021

Jester brings back Austin Wallis to the show this week to continue their conversation from Episode #77. They left off with Austin going for a "shakedown" hike on the Mountains To Sea Trail on Segment 4, and then he was heading to the John Muir Trail for an awesome summer adventure. Tune in as Austin describes the beauty of Segment 4 in Western North Carolina to the exquisiteness of the John Muir Trail in the Sierra Mountains of California.

Thanks for listening and Happy Section Hiking!
