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

Larry Ripari, fresh from his recent completion of not only an Appalachian Trail thru-hike, but also the hiking Triple Crown, shares his story with us this week. Larry became Bird on trail, a persona he was happy to assume, yet one he is now leaving behind. He is full of insights on all three trails, sharing his knowledge and even his budget as he successfully negotiated them all. You can check out Larry on social media on Instagram at Instagram (@ohreallylar) and on YouTube at Hiker Larry Our Class of 2024 is moving towards the end for some of our team. Hear the joy in Sloggy’s voice as he describes his Katahdin summit with his family, while No Rush, the Elder, has some news to break to us. Also on today, Dianne Seger, better known to many of us as Lady Di, is selling her awesome hostel in Damascus. I invited her on to tell us about the place.
