Steve Adams -Episode #214 – James Brinkman (Snickers)

[BOT 31]

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.

I wouldn’t normally add his business Facebook page but I’m making an exception here as he intends to offer free massage sessions to healthcare workers once his business reopens. Good on you, James. Reach him there at Skjult lenke - logg inn for å se den

While I’m still pondering what to do with the middle section of the show, this week I have Steve Cole, an aspiring AT thru-hiker who went for a warm-up on the Tour Mont Blanc. He shares some of his experiences of this beautiful trail with you all. If you’d like to see more, check out this YouTube link from Abbie Barnes; it gives you a great little taster for what you’ll see on the TMB. Skjult lenke - logg inn for å se den

Grandma Gatewood continues to walk north, gaining publicity and admirers along the way as she heads into New York.
