Episode #38 - Jim Grode (Trail Resource Manager, Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail)

Have you ever wondered how your favorite trail organization keeps up with maintaining all their trail maps, guidebooks, and website? Jim Grode, Trail Resource Manager for the Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail Organization, joins Jester on today's episode to share with us just how some of that is done.

Jim also talks with us about his most recent book, Great Day Hikes On North Carolina's Mountains to Sea Trail. Jim walks us through how the book was created and who the book was created for. Jester and Jim also talk about the "40 Hike Challenge" that coincides with the book!

Thanks for listening and Happy Section Hiking!
