With today's national Take A Hike day I had to think back about my meeting with an #AppalachianTrail ridgerunner during my thruhike. It's great and sad at the same that they (have to) exist. Essentially a ridgerunner is paid to hike sections of the trail
~~we are so glad to have contributed to the change for a better nation. Always a great feeling to strive to achieve a better version of ourselves, every step of the way. To a better future, together, cheers!~~
