harpers ferry

Nick shares his summer hiking from Springer to Harper's Ferry. He hiked 1000 miles also wearing one of my Hike hats. We chat about what it is really like on trail and the lessons he took back afterwards. This conversation inspired me and I know it will inspire you. On trail or off trail, Nick's story will resonate with you.

Hey family, it’s time for part deux of the Erin and Cj saga. This time around Erin got us beers from Harpers Ferry Brewing. Once again, we bring you the hard hitting topics that are on everyone’s minds; favorite video game franchises, crashing bridal showers and fist fighting Girl Scouts. You don’t wanna miss this one!

In this episode, we explore the turbulent presidencies of Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, and Buchanan, the rising tensions over slavery, the birth of the Republican party, and one man’s abolitionist crusade against slavery.

He was arrested in 1859 for his role in the Harpers Ferry raid – an event that set the stage for the American Civil War. He was convicted of treason, as well as for murder, and for instigating insurrection. We’re talking about American abolitionist John Brown, the first person executed for treason in the United States.

In this episode James and Jerry talk about a very special place in West Virginia.  It is almost like a history lovers' version of Walt Disney World.  Harpers Ferry has it all.  You can enjoy the outdoors by fishing, hiking, wildlife watching, mountain biking, and even rock climbing.  Or, if history is more your thing, then they offer shops that replicate the 19th century, John Brown's Fort and museum, African American history, the famous Storer College, site of second US Armory, and the  Civil War Museum. Part 2, with Park Ranger Leah Taber, will be available on Memorial Day.

Are you ready for some West Virginia folklore?  Mothman isn’t the only cryptid in West Virginia.  In this episode we will explore the origins of Sheepsquatch, White Things, The Flatwoods Monster, The Grafton Beast, Snarly Yow, and The Ouga. These creatures may be lesser known than Mothman, nevertheless, each has its own interesting backstory. You may even be inspired to do some cryptid hunting of your own.

Dog owners love to take their pets with them wherever they go, but some times, we have no choice but to leave our furry friends at home.  If the thought of leaving your pup with someone, especially someone who is a stranger, makes you feel anxious, then you won't want to miss this episode.  Natalie Papademetriou, dog mom and owner of Luna's Pet Collective, provides great insight into things that may be a red flag when it comes to Choosinga boarder and outlines questions dog owners should be asking before boarding their pup.  As Natalie points out, every dog owner should ask these questions regardless of whether you are boarding your pooch with an in-home boarder or with a commercial facility.

And, if you are looking for a new place to explore with your pup, the Lower Town Trail in Harpers Ferry, WV offers scenic beauty, a great sniffari, and is generally an easy hike to be enjoyed by pups and humans of all ages.

Episode 39 begins with tips and advice for those looking to train for and finish a fall marathon.  When you've run out of water and busted through the Runner's High you know you're marathon training.  There's also stories from the last marathon I ran.
They've won 6 Super Bowls in the 21st Century.  However growing up in the 1980's being a New England Patriots fan was far different.  We're going way Back In the Day to when the team was mediocre at best, including when their games were routinely blacked out in the home markets.
Though small in population a Road Trip to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia is chock full of history and natural beauty.  With Civil War tie-ins, the Appalachian Trail, and a wonderful scenic overlook it is a little town big on attractions.
1980's kids rejoice, this week's Top 5 goes back to the best Saturday Morning Cartoons that used to accompany the sugary cereal and lazy mornings on the couch.

Liz Brown, trail name "Ukulele", discovered the harmony and balance she needed while hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2019. We chat about her life as a wildland firefighter, going into a Ph.D program and ultimately making a decision to take a pause for a thru-hike to figure out how she truly wanted to live. We go into how the trail changed her and what life has been like post-trail, including how it inspired her to create and transform herself. Finally, Liz shares her advice for would be thru-hikers and those who might already be out there on the trail.
