Last weekend, folks here on the north coast of CA hosted four Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) thru-hikers: Adam “Hemlock Muppet” Canter, Kasi “Beam” Craddock, Jesse “Mountain Goat” Crocker, and Ana “Birdy” Roberts. The hikers furloughed from Etna, CA, after completing over half of the 2,600-mile trail. When finished Beam, Birdy, and Hemlock Muppet will have completed two of the U.S.’s great hiking trails - the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail.
The video’s below include interviews about their experiences. Thanks for your town time, hikers!
This episode includes the first half of an interview with Susan Alcorn, author of Camino Chronicle: Walking to Santiago. The book tells the story of her adventure on the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile trek across northern Spain, and gives tips to those who are planning a Camino hike. It was published in 2006 and was one of three finalists for the 2007 Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Travel Essay.
In the interview, we discuss Susan’s backpacking career and review the content of her book. For more information about the Camino de Santiago and Susan, visit her website at www.backpack45.com.
