Steve Adams -Episode #205 – Derick Lugo (Mr. Fabulous)

[BOT]

It’s a fabulous show this week, not least because we have Mr. Fabulous, or Derick Lugo, as the main guest. Derick hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2012 and has earned himself a reputation as a speaker about the trail, as well as a growing recognition as a writer. His new book, The Unlikely Thru-Hiker, is now available at his website and on Amazon.

You can connect with Derick in a variety of ways.

The short story of his hike with his brother–The Trail Brothers–can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR21w5qi-B8

Another fabulous guest is April Mae, who Steve spoke with following a post that she made on Facebook. Her story is illuminating and inspiring. The pictures below show April’s “Before” and “After” pics. Her story is a testimony to the power of hiking and its beneficial effects upon both the body and the psyche.
