Episode #235 - Lite Shoe's Tales of the AT May 17-18

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Jan Leitschuh was bitten by the AT bug in 2002. With no real backpacking experience, she threw herself into learning, training and stomping down fears and questions that swirled around her preparations. She joined the infamous Pack 31- a group of hikers that met online and named themselves after the date they started, March 1, 2003. This community, built on meetings at the ALDHA Gathering and a thousand online hours, still remain friends to this day and Lite Shoe, along with many of those original Pack 31 folks can often be found at the Gathering, sharing their stories and knowledge with a new class of hikers.</p> <p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><img style= "display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/118440/tj1076_052303_000000_21412.jpeg" alt="" width="245" height="500" /></p> <p>Guest Links-<br /> The Ordinary Adventurer- <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Ordinary-Adventurer-Vermonts-Adventurers-Musings/dp/0979708109/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1NFP8PYVQADLE&keywords=jan+leitschuh&qid=1644972714&sprefix=jan+leitschuh%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-1"> https://www.amazon.com/Ordinary-Adventurer-Vermonts-Adventurers-Musings/dp/0979708109/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1NFP8PYVQADLE&keywords=jan+leitschuh&qid=1644972714&sprefix=jan+leitschuh%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-1</a></p> <p>Connect with Anna, aka Mud Butt, at <a href= "mailto:info@traildames.com">info@traildames.com</a><br /> You can find the Trail Dames at:<br /> Our website: <a href="https://www.traildames.com/">Trail Dames</a><br /> The Summit: <a href="https://www.traildamessummit.com/">The Summit 2022 - Presented by the Trail Dames</a><br /> The Trail Dames Foundation: <a href= "https://www.tdcharitablefoundation.org/">Trail Dames Charitable Foundation | Home</a><br /> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/traildames/" data-inline-card="" data-card-data= "">https://www.instagram.com/traildames/</a><br /> Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/traildames/">Trail Dames | Facebook</a><br /> Hiking Radio Network:
