I wonder what it would be like to be out hiking on the Appalachian Trail right now.

Let's find out.

Let's jump into the mail bag here.

First message comes from Sally.

Sally has this to say,

Pop Bear really enjoyed your 2022 Appalachian Trail Pop Bear Hikes virtual

family last year.

And I'm glad to see you brought it back again and added a Pacificrest Trail family.

I really enjoyed this series and I'm looking forward to hearing from these hikers this year.

Will you be adding a continental divide trail group next year?

Actually, Sally, it's already in the work.

Sally, I'm already looking to form a group probably within the next month or so.

I'll start reaching out to people and by September or October,

we'll start having them on and interviewing them.

So yes, definitely a CDT group for next year.

Thanks for writing.

Now I want to talk a little bit about something we need to ever heads up about.
