Tara Dower

Back in 2020 I had the opportunity to meet up with and chat with Tara Dower aka Candy Mama! She met up with me while I was out completing the 40 Day Hikes on the Mountains to Sea Trail.  I split her interview up and added it to my 40 Day Hike Series of shows but always wanted to put it out there as its own episode so I am re-releasing our chat today!  Tara and I talked about her first attempt at an AT Thru Hike, her anxiety and how she deals with that, working at Blue Ridge Hiking Company during COVID, and her Mountains to Sea Trail FKT. I know you will enjoy my interview with Tara on this "Throwback Saturday".  Follow Tara On YouTube  MST FKT Video Series Tara On Instagram Hiker Safety Collaboration With Tara  Connect with Julie "Jester" Gayheart: Email: jester@jestersectionhiker.com Website: Julie Gayheart YouTube: Follow Jester On YouTube Music By: Victor Lundberg "Top of The Morning"

#14 - Joan Young - North Country Trail

Mary Emerick

Today's guest on the "Jester" Section Hiker podcast is Mary Emerick aka Monkey Bars. Mary completed her 8-year section hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in August of 2019. She is also a published author of two books; her memoir, "Fire In The Heart", and a novel, titled "Geography of Water." Mary shares with Jester how she found it hard to hike in "the bubble", and how it is challenging to find hiking partners with the "same hiking style."  "Let's Talk Gear" with Steve Kammeyer: Steve and Jester dive into the world of hammocks. Steve answers questions on what to purchase, proper setup, and shares information about the Palmetto State Hangers "Fall Sprawl."  Episode #13 of the "Jester" Section Hiker podcast is dedicated to Kris "Sherpa" Fowler who went missing on the Pacific Crest Trail in October of 2016.
