In the which your intrepid host and his friend Alex brave the elements and a disease they don't believe they have caught to hike a 14 mile portion of the Appalachian Trail.  There was literally no one out there... except for a couple of dummies that were us.  In today's episode we discuss the hike, review lessons learned, and discuss what the future holds regarding first section hike.
