When Charlie Janssen was just ten miles into his Appalachian Trail thru-hike in 2012, he wondered what it would be like to complete a Calendar Year Triple Crown. He found out in 2022, and shares his story with us. Charlie's thoughts eventually solidified and the planning began. His pragmatic approach and never-give-up attitude are clear in our conversation, yet this is still an epic adventure and one that so few people have managed to complete. Charlie is only the thirteenth to complete it. He has so many links to follow if you'd like to dive further into his remarkable achievement.

Eine ereignisreiche erste Trailwoche liegt hinter mir - seid dabei wenn ich davon berichte, wie alles angefangen hat: mit stürmischen und sonnigen Tagen, ersten Freundschaften, einer Trail-Family und meinem Trailnamen…

Today I got to hop on with some Floridians who took on the Georgia Death Race up by RunBum Tours. This year you had a first timer on the course Kailynn Violette; Mark Proch who has smashed it twice now; and Joshua Gray who went for redemption. What an amazing recap. These three did great! The Georgia Death Race is 71ishh Miles starting in Vogel State Park with close to 28,000 feet of elevation change ending in Amicalola Falls State Park. The first 8 miles has close to 3,500 feet of elevation change, including the 3.8 mile, 2,300 ft. climb up and over the summit of Coosa Bald. This course takes you to Duncan Ridge to see the sunrise over the back of Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia, and the Toccoa Swinging Bridge and Amicalola Falls.

Kim Hatcher, the Public Affairs Director of Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites, joins co-hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick in the studio for the Around Atlanta segment of the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio Podcast to talk about hidden gems and activities in Georgia's state parks. As a Smyrna native and graduate from the University of Georgia, Hatcher has deep ties to Georgia. Growing up, she and her family were avid campers and hikers and spent most of their free time outdoors. Now Kim gets to explore her passion for Georgia's parks by sharing all the must-see places and activities the parks have to offer. “If we have learned anything from the pandemic, it is how important parks are for people's wellbeing,” said Hatcher. “Being outdoors is good for the mind, body and soul, and luckily we have over 84,000 acres in Georgia to explore.” Tips for enjoying Georgia State Parks Many popular parks in Georgia like Tallulah Gorge get crowded on the weekends. Try going during the week to enjoy the space of nature. Many parks offer overnight stay opportunities, so nature is just outside the door and activities are all around. Parks offer RV camps and hookups, private campsites with showers, as well as a variety of recently renovated and newly built cabins. A new available experience is the “glamping” yurt, which is a combination of a cabin and camping experience. They feature locking doors, furniture, back porches with seating, picnic tables, fire rings, grills, futons and bunk beds and bathhouses with hot showers. This is a great option for families who want to enjoy camping in style!  Georgia State Parks are known for hiking and fishing, but they also offer other recreational activities like mini-golf, birding, archery, kayaking, paddle boarding and biking. Enjoy nature without all the crowds by visiting some lesser-known, activity-filled parks. Panola Mountain Park is located in Stockbridge just southeast of Atlanta and is a great spot for those who enjoy biking and hiking along paved trails. They offer bike rentals and small lakes for fishing. Don Carter State Park on Lake Lanier has great hiking trails, cabin rentals, camping grounds and access to lake recreations. Hard Labor Creek is east of Atlanta and offers cabins as well as guided kayak tours, guided hikes, kids programs and a golf course. Chattahoochee Bend in the Newnan area has hiking, camping and cabins along the Chattahoochee River. Cartersville's Etowah Indian Mounds State Park protects native mounds from over 1,000 years ago. They have artifact museums, ranger programs and great exercise trails. Pickett's Mill Battlefield in Dallas has over 4 miles of walking trails and a Civil War battlefield monument. New opportunities in Georgia State Parks Those up for a challenge can join different clubs across the state, the most popular being the Canyon Climbers Club. Memberships are $20 and climbers are encouraged to wear their club shirts when hiking. Canyon Climbers are challenged to go down into Cloudland Canyon and climb Tallulah Gorge, Amicalola Falls and many others. Once completed, members receive a certificate of completion. The newest club is called Tails on Trails which encourages hikers to bring their dogs.  State Park guests pay a $5 fee for parking when visiting, but more frequent visitors can purchase a $50 annual pass.

Months of preparation and patience are over! Join me as I take my first of approximately five million steps on the AT. February 29th I departed from Amicalola Falls up the Approach Trail to the AT's southern terminus on Springer Mountain stopping to camp for the night at Stover Creek.  March 1st I spent my first full day on the trail, stopping to camp at Gooch Mountain Shelter.  March 2nd the rain came, and I took a relatively easy day making my way to camp at Lance Stream Camp. This episode includes snippets from the thru-hiker registration and orientation class that every thru-hiker takes part in right before they depart. As well as another poem reading by Steph.
