Manage episode 326390248 series 2621554
Triple Crowner and American Perimeter Trail designer Rue McKenrick drops by the JFM Pod studio to chat with Doc about his creation of a 12,000-mile trail that circumnavigates the contiguous United States. During this very unique interview, they discuss the art of backpacking, efficiency vs. effectiveness, unchecking a box, contributing to the greater good, and the sacrifice that goes into the creation of such a trail. Oh, and there's that time where Rue was out on the trail and had no idea a pandemic had swept the planet. You don't want to miss this one.
