Great job guys

Guys I love listening to your podcast! I live in Kentucky myself and I do love the references to our great state and it’s parks and trails.

Have you done a show on the various trails to Mt. Leconte in the Smoky Mountains? If not I would love to hear about those 5-6 trails.

Happy New Year!!

Trivia challenge

I love the pod cast but imagine my surprise when I discovered that John Kelly lost the trivia contest on the backpacking and blisters Podcast. What’s up with that?
