Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis

Episode #189 - Julie Obear and Barry King (Boston and Cubby)


Listen Later

Boston and Cubby have been long-distance hiking for nearly 15 years, having started with the Appalachian Trail in 2005. During that time they have completed the Triple Crown, climbed Mt Kilimanjaro, done the American Discovery Trail and the Long Trail. They even found time to hike across the state of Rhode Island!

They have simplified both their hiking style and their lives, finding peace and their desired solitude along America's trails.
