Earlier this year I asked for folks who had hiked the Ocean to Lake Trail to reach out to me if they would like to share a bit about their experience on that trail for a short series wanted to do here on the podcast. Josh ‘301’ Widdowfield was one of those hikers who offered to chat with me on the podcast and I’m glad he did. Josh thru-hiked the FT this year (2023) but has done several LASH (Long Ass Section) hikes on the AT and PCT, and likes to combine his hikes with giving back to the thru-hiking community through trail magic and hiker outreach. It was certainly interesting to hear how Josh combines his love of hiking with giving back to other hikers and I think something we should also consider more often.

Show Notes:

I haven’t been marking miles on this trail like everyone does on the AT or PCT- but I thought this milestone deserved a mile marker not sure what the future holds- I do know my next week is a slow walk to Ft. Pickens, but today it is hiking in the glow of my favorite trail and passing the Florida bar!!! #groundskeeper #granitegear #whereigottago #altrarunning #embracethespace #floridatrail #thruhike #lnt #packitout #leaveitbetter #FTthruHike #girlswhohikefl #floridatrailassociation #hikeflorida #therealflorida #trails50 #nationalscenictrail #hikeflorida #floridabar #uflaw #attorneyinthewoods #flbar @granitegear @thegroundskeepers @altrarunning @floridatrail @uflaw
