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

Episode #495 - Dr Lynne Savino (Older hikers on trail)


Listen Later

Our guest today is an old friend of the show; Dr Lynne Savino. Lynne always has an interesting take on medical issues related to hiking, and this week, she discusses older hikers on trail.

She brings her normal passion for hiking and medicine to the podcast, teaching me a few things along the way.

We also caught up with Dave, Beth and Andrew, as they all cope with the heat bubble on the east coast of the US.

Dave has moved into Connecticut, his 10th state, and he got this stunning, early-morning view of New York City from the trail a few days ago.

Meanwhile, Beth and Andrew have reached the traditional halfway point of Harpers Ferry, where they took the opportunity to visit the ATC headquarters to record the mandatory picture!

I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I’ve been privileged to serve for over a decade. You can learn more about the hike and the organization–and donate–by visiting Hike with Steve - Empowering Parents, One Step at a Time | Parenting Matters %. I hope you want to support this critical mission.

Don’t forget. Our entire series of videos from our Woods Hole Weekend in 2022 is now FREE and available at my YouTube page at Woods Hole Weekend - Trailer There, you’ll find all sorts of tips and tricks that our guests took away from the weekend that helped them with their own hikes this year. Check it out.

I often ask listeners for ideas on who to interview, and I’m sure several of you say, “I could do that. I’ve got an awesome story to tell.” You’re the person we need to hear from.
