In Appalachian Trail circles, Janet Hensley is about as well known as they come. For years, she’s been driving the highways and backroads between Maine and Georgia as one of the trail's most ardent supporters-a den mother to the hiking community. She’s a vital part of the Appalachian Trail ecosystem which relies on the goodness of others in between towns and trailheads to get hikers what they need and when they need it. In Episode 12, Miss Janet talks about her love of the trail, love of hikers and how she began the unique life she’s carved out as one of the most well-known 'angels' on America’s most famous trail.

12 - Janet Hensley

Miss Janet

    You get very few opportunities in life to spend time in the company of a living legend, so it was gratifying to learn that Janet Hensley, or Miss Janet, was the real deal. I was lucky enough to have a wide-ranging conversation recently with Miss Janet about all things Appalachian Trail. She proved to be incisive, engaging, and generous with her time and opinions. She is truly the hiker's best friend, putting herself out to help anybody who requests her assistance.       When we touched upon some of the occasional bad behavior on the trail, she even jumped to a possible defense of the perpetrators. It is an indication of the regard in which she is held on the trail that she was confident in insisting that I took her personal phone number to make sure that anybody on the trail who needs help can call her. So, with some trepidation, her number is 423-483-0620. She can also be emailed at TheMissJanet@gmail.com and will be happy if you look her up on Facebook, though apologized because Facebook will not allow her to exceed her current total of 5,000 friends!   Jessa is so ready to go that she has taken a week or so off to go on vacation to Europe! Her latest update shows the value of organization. We'll soon be hearing from her as she gets those first miles under her belt.   John O'Shea and I just chatted in our Fear &amp; Loathing segment, and I'm really looking forward to spending a week in July with John and his Fat Guys Back in the Woods. If you'd like to join us, email John at john.skeezix@gmail.com.   Please try to leave a review of the show on iTunes. Click  HERE to be taken to the show in the iTunes Store.
