Summary
Francisco Miller was one of the funniest guys I met on the trail. Consistently cheerful, we met him in New Hampshire and hiked with or around him for several hundred miles. His story continued after the Appalachian Trail, culminating in a thru-hike of the Continental Divide Trail in 2016, having chalked up the Pacific Crest Trail in 2015. He is articulate on the subject of hiking and will happily respond to any questions that hikers may have. He can be contacted directly at francisco.miller@gmail.com. His pictures, particularly those he posted this year from the Continental Divide Trail, can be seen on Instagram at kk_hikes. Check those out; I guarantee you won't be disappointed. The picture below is one of me and Karate Kid in Maine, at the top of a mountain, with just two weeks to go. He's watching me fill my face with a whole jar of peanut butter.

| 1:12.7 | a love of hiking and the Appalachian Trail in particular. One of the great blessings I've received |
| 1:18.4 | from this show, and it's certainly one that I wasn't expecting, is a way in which I've been |

| 1:29.7 | the trail, but never more than when I've been conversing with my peers. We've shared a memorable |
