Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-life Crisis

We're not so focused on the AT this week, with Luke "Strider" Jordan taking on some of the wilder American trails. His first thru-hike was the 4600 mile North Country Trail, and he became the Earl Schaffer of the Great Plains Trail when he completed the very first thru-hike of that new trail.

He shares some fascinating insights in his conversation with Steve You can connect with Strider and find out more about these trails at the following links.
