We have a shorter show than usual today, as I’m away hiking. There is still a great interview and the next segment of the book “Then the Hail Came.”

Al Marriott is an adventurous guy, traveling worldwide to satisfy an urge to wander, recording his journeys via his YouTube account. His mind fell to the Appalachian Trail, and he set out to do it last year.

Al is a natural storyteller and shares some poignant moments out there, particularly with his tramily, though an unpleasant encounter with a tree branch was also something of a high(low)light.

You can follow Al on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/AdventureTogetherOfficial , on Instagram at both https://www.instagram.com/adventuretogether.ig/ and https://www.instagram.com/Afrocrow/, while his YouTube channel is at https://www.youtube.com/adventuretogether1
