Tip your driver (especially in the backcountry)

This podcast episode includes two recordings from my birthday backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail. This episode focuses on the real AT—and the real folks who make thru-hiking a dream come true.

As promised, here are some links to AT maps and guides:

• The A.T. Guide by David “Awol” Miller & AntiGravityGear ($22)

• FarOut interactive AT guide ($75)

• The Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s maps and guidebooks ($9-22)
