For this episode of the podcast, Jester introduces us to the town of Elkin, NC. Hike #14 from the book Great Day Hikes ON North Carolina's Mountains to Sea Trail centers around the town of Elkin, NC.

Jester introduces us to Leslie Schlender, from the Town of Elkin, Bill Blackley, with the Elkin Valley Trails Association, and then shares with us her thoughts about Hike #14. You will hear Hike #14 ended up being a real special hike for Jester.

And a big "Thank You" to our show sponsor, The MST Guide by Pocket Trails. Providing up-to-date maps and extensive trail information, Pocket Trails plans to give MST hikers everything they need to know, both when they need it and in the palm of their hand. The MST Guide App is now available in the Google Play Store and coming to the iPhone very soon!
