Steve caught up with Dixie the day before she set off for New Mexico. She was in that "I'm not quite there yet" mode, yet with Perk in her home, she is already drifting into those camp rituals. They'll be picking up Aaron and, as Perk has a friend with him, their "tramily" of four is already set.

If you've enjoyed the show so far and would like to join Dixie on her journey, we hope to be recording a couple of times each week and publishing virtually straight away. This show is ONLY going to be available on HikingRadioNetwork.com, a new site that will be open on Sunday, April 1. There will be three free shows as well as Dixie's paid show. Scroll down to Dixie's show, click on the "Listen to Dixie" button, and you'll reach a page to sign up for the show through Paypal. You DO NEED a Paypal account and can pay with your credit card.

Once you've signed up, you'll just have to log in when a new episode is available. I will be emailing you when I publish a new episode, so it will be ready for you when you log in.

If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected] 

Dixie and Steve discuss her upcoming hike, with her final gear choices and who she's going to miss most of all!! Perk will be driving down from New York to collect Dixie and they will head for the New Mexico border during this last week of March. She tells us that Aaron, her video editor will also be coming along for the hike.

Remember, this is the second of three FREE episodes, intended to give you a flavor of the show. Once you've heard all three–and if you want to subscribe to the show–head on over to the homepage of  HikingRadioNetwork.com where, from Sunday, April 1, you'll see Dixie's show. Click on the "Listen to Dixie" button and you'll be directed to the signup page.

We hope to see you there. 

Jessica "Dixie" Mills is a couple of weeks away from her attempt on the  Continental Divide Trail. This is the third leg of the Triple Crown. The podcast will be following Dixie as she prepares to leave home, reflecting upon the past few years, during which she has established herself through her videos and personality as a force to be reckoned with.

Here, Dixie and Steve chat about the adventure and what she is expecting in those early days.

Don't forget to subscribe to the show on HikingRadioNetwork.com from April 1. It will not be available anywhere else.
