#161 - Virginia's Lost Appalachian Trail - Author Mills Kelly

In this bonus episode, I’m sharing another fantastic Virginia-based podcast called, The Green Tunnel, which is a show about the history of the Appalachian Trail. You may already know that Virginia contains more miles of the Appalachian Trail than any other state, with 544 miles of the trail right here in Virginia. If you’re a history buff like me and you love hiking and the outdoors, this is a show you don’t want to miss. The Green Tunnel is one of my favorite podcasts to enjoy, usually when I’m driving to my next outdoor adventure. It contains interesting, quirky, and fascinating history about the AT in an entertaining, story-telling style show. Many episodes contain rare, never before heard audio of legendary AT hikers and influencers like Benton MacKaye, who dreamed up the whole idea of a multi-state long-distance hiking trail, and Grandma Gatewood, the first woman to thru hike the trail alone. The show also includes contributions by hikers, volunteers, park rangers, and leaders in the trail community. The Green Tunnel Podcast is hosted by my friend, Mills Kelly, who is a professor of history at George Mason University and the Director of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media. He has been hiking the AT since 1971 and researching its history since 2016.If you’re looking for more inspiration from the AT here in Virginia, there are two recent episodes of Virginia Outdoor Adventures you might enjoy. In Episode 22, Diana Christopulos from the Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club, talks about hiking McAfee Knob and Virginia’s Triple Crown. She provides insight into what it takes to maintain and preserve the most photographed spot on the entire Appalachian Trail.In Episode 27, Senator Tim Kaine shares his experience completing the Virginia Nature Triathlon, which includes hiking the Virginia portion of the Appalachian Trail, as well as cycling the Blue Ridge Parkway and adjacent Skyline Drive, and paddling the James River, from the mountains to the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.The Green Tunnel Podcast:Website I Facebook I Instagram I TwitterFollow Virginia Outdoor Adventures Podcast:Website I Facebook I Instagram I TwitterSend Questions, Comments, and Suggestions: Jessica@virginiaoutdooradventures.comEye-Opening Moments PodcastEye-Opening Moments are stories of adversity, encounters, and perspectives.
