Summary

The trail-legend Jupiter Hikes joins the show this week to discuss the Florida Trail, the International Appalachian Trail, and mail drops! I went into this conversation with some pretty negative ideas about the Florida Trail, and Jupiter was able to clear many of those up, and start to nudge me in the right direction. Also, for the first time in Trail Tales history, we talk about hiking in the Great Province of Quebec!

0:00.0	How's it going, everybody? You're listening to Trail Tales. My name is Kyle O'Grady. I am a through hiker. I am a peak bagger. I am a huge hiking nerd.
0:17.6	And every single week on this podcast, I chat with other through hikers, other peak baggers, and other hiking nerd and every single week on this podcast I chat with other through hikers,
0:22.5	other peak baggers and other hiking nerds about their experiences on the trail. And let me tell
0:29.3	you folks, big episode. This is a big, big episode. Jupiter Hikes is on the show. He recently
0:36.2	passed the 10,000 mile mark. Absolutely
0:39.8	insane. This dude has done the International Appalachian Trail. That is, he has hiked all the
0:45.6	way from Quebec to Florida. Just super, super crazy. We talk a little bit about that, and most of the
0:53.0	conversation is actually focused around the Florida Trail.
0:57.0	It's been a long time since the Florida Trail has been talked about on this podcast and basically what we do for the first part of the episode, the first half I'd say is I go through some of my concerns with the Florida Trail.
1:10.0	You know, as a Vermonter
1:11.8	live here my whole life. Florida kind of scares me a little bit, honestly. So I go through
1:16.3	things like the snakes and the water and the roadwalks and all of the quote negative things
1:21.8	that I hear about the Florida Trail. And Jupiter basically kind of talks about those things
1:27.4	and tries to sell me on why they're
1:29.7	not that bad. And I got to say he did a pretty good job because my mind is changing about the
1:35.4	Florida Trail. And it was a, it was just a lot of fun. We talk about mail drops towards the end.
1:40.8	We just get into a bunch of stuff. So yeah, great conversation and Jupiter
1:44.4	when you hear this, thank you so much for coming on. And we're going to have to do another
1:48.5	episode soon. Folks, I know you're all locked inside right now, so you have nothing better to do
1:54.2	than go scroll through social media. So Instagram, go follow me on Instagram. The show's
2:00.5	Instagram is at Trail Tales Pod and my personal
2:03.6	Instagram is at Kyle Hates Hiking. If you're new, if this is your first time listening, head over to
