The Last 40 Miles

This past year and a half, I've been tuning in to a weekly podcast, The First 40 Miles.  This coming Tuesday, they're wrapping it up after 4 years.  It's been a good trip, but you can tell that the hosts are straining under the load of restoring an old house, herding teenagers, maintaining gainful employment, and oh yes, finding time to go backpacking.  I wish them well and many more miles on the trails in 2019 and beyond.

If you missed this podcast and it sounds interesting to you, here is their archive page.  Good information in every episode.  As always, no guarantees how long these episodes will be around once they wrap things up, so get hopping if you want to download.

Deer season will be ending in a month here in Coastal MS, and with that begins the real backpacking season.  Can't wait to get going with that again.  I want to, one more time, thank Heather and Josh at The First 40 Miles for all the good advice, gear recommendations, and reports from their adventures.  Happy Trails!

This looks so much nicer than a pic of the view from the Tuxachanie Trail.  No such sweeping vistas in south MS, but the "vegetation tunnels" we have here have a charm of their own.
