Episode #407 - Jason Tompkins (Out & About)

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

Jason Tompkins is a returning guest to the show this week. He was on last year, discussing a new route / trail that he came up with and named “The Carolinian.” This week, an AT thru-hike was just part of his 2023 adventure.

He took on the Eastern Continental Trail, stretching from Key West in the south to Newfoundland; an epic, if ever there was one.

Jason didn’t share any social links, but check out his YouTube channel at Out & About. It’s awesome.

We also caught up once more with Mary Marks, who has had a little time to reflect on what she achieved last year in completing her AT thru-hike as part of the Mighty Blue Class of 2023.

I often ask listeners for ideas on who to interview, and I’m sure several of you say, “I could do that. I’ve got an awesome story to tell.” You’re the person we need to hear from. If you’d like to be interviewed on the podcast, just register as a guest on the link below, and I’ll be in touch.
