Summary
Congrats to Jessa and Nick, and big props to Jessa's mom for doing what only a mother could do; loudly proclaiming the strength, endurance, and all-around great qualities of her daughter. With just six weeks to go, we'll soon be talking to her from the trail. Remember, you can contact Jessa directly at jessahackman@gmail.com Please keep the reviews and emails coming, as well as trail names for Jessa . Hearing from you all really lets me know where I'm going right and where I need to make changes. If you'd like to support the show further, please check out my books on Amazon.

| 0:00.0 | Mighty Blue on the Appalachian Trail, the ultimate midlife crisis, join Stephen his guests every week as he staggers from Georgia to Maine. |
| 0:26.2 | It's Thursday, so welcome to episode number 21. |
| 0:30.7 | I've tried to be consistent with the show so far, getting it released at an ungodly |
| 0:35.3 | hour early on a Thursday morning. |
| 0:40.2 | I hit on this time when I schedule my first episode. |
| 0:44.6 | I wanted to release it, then confirmed that it was actually there and sounded all right. |
| 0:51.1 | My plan was to listen to it, quickly withdraw it if, as I fully expected it to be, if it was rubbish, then go away and put it together again. |
| 0:55.7 | I tend to wake up really early, |
| 1:01.5 | so at about 3.30 on the morning of that first episode, I opened my iPhone and there it was. |
| 1:06.7 | I was like a kid at Christmas, flicking through the transition parts to see if it sounded okay. |
| 1:12.1 | To my utter amazement and delight, it was pretty time good if I too say so myself. |

| 1:36.3 | Kate, or Tigger, is one of those fearless young women of the class of 2014, |
| 1:40.1 | who I had the pleasure of hiking with for quite a few of those early miles. |
| 1:45.1 | She was always a joy to be around, constantly positive, friendly and uncomplaining. |
| 1:48.4 | Tigger was having a blast and relishing every moment. |
| 1:52.4 | I've watched a story unfold through Facebook since we parted ways, |
| 1:55.9 | and I'm struck that the positive person that she was on the trail comes through. |
