Episode #214 - James Brinkman (Snickers)

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis · Apr 16, 2020 · 1h 7m

Today we meet James Brinkman or Snickers. James, like me, was a member of the Class of 2019. Indeed, we met and had dinner in Erwin TN on our respective hikes. James' journey to the trail was somewhat tortuous, with a nasty accident as a young man and an addiction to pain killers messing up much of his early life.

James is an inspiring example to all who believe that they can't hike the Appalachian or any other long-distance trail. He faced his issues, moved past them, and got out into nature. As you'll hear, it was just what he needed to do.
