Episode #139 - Julie Wilson aka Stripper (a Trail Dames story)

<p>I have been married to Jon Freeman for 7 years, but have only been home twice to celebrate our anniversary! Usually I’m out hiking. I am 57 years old (birthday in a few weeks!). I have 2 children, Andrew and Kaytlyn and 2 step-sons, Jonathan and Eric. My kids are married; my son has 3 children (2 girls and a boy) while my daughter has one son (4 grandbabies total--2 girls and 2 boys). I lived in Indiana for 55 years and have been in Cosby, TN for just a couple of years now. I taught freshman composition at Ivy Tech Community College for many years and I’m now a shift manager for the Nantahala Outdoor Center and have worked there for 2 years.</p> <p><img style= "display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/118440/julie2.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="500" /></p> <p>I have completed the AT twice now, once as a section hiker, finishing September 1st of this year and once as a thru-hiker (2018).</p> <p>Guest Links-<br /> Julie on Facebook- <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/juslearningolf">https://www.facebook.com/juslearningolf</a></p> <p>Nantahala Outdoor Center/Gatlinburg- <a href= "https://noc.com/locations/gatlinburg-tn/">https://noc.com/locations/gatlinburg-tn/</a></p> <p>Thoreau Walking Essay- <a href= "https://faculty.washington.edu/timbillo/Readings%20and%20documents/Wilderness/Thoreau%20Walking.pdf"> https://faculty.washington.edu/timbillo/Readings%20and%20documents/Wilderness/Thoreau%20Walking.pdf</a></p> <p>Climb up Katahdin- <a href= "https://www.relive.cc/view/vPv4ydyXM3O">https://www.relive.cc/view/vPv4ydyXM3O</a></p> <p>Rainbow Springs Campsite hike- <a href= "https://www.relive.cc/view/vNOPY7G8EY6">https://www.relive.cc/view/vNOPY7G8EY6</a></p> <p>Hiking to Antlers- <a href= "https://www.relive.cc/view/v1vj1dQ3RYq">https://www.relive.cc/view/v1vj1dQ3RYq</a></p> <p>Mahoosuc Notch!!- <a href= "https://www.relive.cc/view/vmqXXNPm5oq">https://www.relive.cc/view/vmqXXNPm5oq</a></p> <p>Connect with Anna, aka Mud Butt, at <a href= "mailto:info@trail
