Joan Young - North Country Trail

Joan Young - North Country Trail

The first woman to complete the NCT

On this episode Jester is excited to share the section hiking journey of Joan Young.

Joan is the first woman to hike the entire length of the North Country Trail by section hiking. Joan is an amazing advocate for the North Country Trail and on any given weekend you can find her giving a talk, selling her books about her journey on the trail, or out hiking on the NCT following those blue blazes!

Jester also checks in with Maria "Wheezy Pee" Wishart for an update on what's happening in the Appalachian Trail Town of Duncannon, PA. Wheezy Pee also shares with us some tips on staying positive during COVID 19.
