Episode #470 - Nick Thatcher (Hotfoot)

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis · Feb 6, 2025 · 1h 5m

Our main guest today is Nick Thatcher, who I found when he posted an epic Katahdin summit picture on Facebook. I hoped there would be more to his story than a December summit, so I reached out to him. He shared a story of determination and drive, culminating in that epic picture on the top of Katahdin.

Nick made some intelligent choices for his hike that should inspire others in their own quest to fulfill an Appalachian Trail thru-hike. His calm demeanor will impress you.
