Summary

Dave Braunlich gave himself a tough task when he considered hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2019. He needed to fit in the trail AND keep his job. For this reason, his daily mileage had to be more than 30 miles every single day.

Listen to Dave as he shares his remarkable story with Steve. You can also follow Dave's journey with his YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSvDFp_OzbOSq1reZpChIEg?view_as=subscriber

and his Instagram page at https://www.instagram.com/davidbraunlich/

Standing Bear Farm is the featured hostel this week, as Marie Guzzman tells about the history of the hostel and why it is always a work in progress. I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the hostel, both in 2014 and 2019.

Finally, Paul Stutzman reaches the rocks of Pennsylvania in "Hiking Through." 'Nuff said!!

1:00.1	the Vermont, New Hampshire border earlier this year. His name is Dave Browlich, or 70,
1:05.5	and you'll soon see why I only met him once when you hear from him. His feet is amazing,

1:18.9	Remember, I'm not necessarily just talking about the best hostels on the trail.

1:25.4	Believe me, there is a vast difference in those two points of
1:27.7	view, but enjoyment, frankly, was always at top of my list. Finally, we've got Chapter 16 of
1:34.1	Paul Stutzum's hiking through, with Paul now pushing into Pennsylvania and loving the rocks
