This is Gonna Hurt by Local Author - Brandon Weis

Brandon Weis will discuss his 2021 journey, hiking over 8,000 miles on the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and Arizona Trail known as the Calendar Year Triple Crown.

"When I set out to do it, only 10 other people had ever done those first 3 trails in one year, and I was the first to ever do those 4 in a single year (normally it takes skilled hikers 5-6 months to do a single one). For scale, the year entailed me hiking from Georgia to Maine, Mexico to Canada on the west coast, Canada to Mexico through the Rockies, and from Utah to Mexico through Arizona. I camped outside for 327 days in the year, experienced temperatures from 20 below 0 up to 111, got frostbite, encountered bears and wolves, endured foot pain beyond belief, crossed paths with some of the most kindhearted people I’ve ever met, and much more."
