PODCAST - Take a Hike & Volunteer Too

Episode 10 - Take a Hike and Volunteer While You're At It
I took advantage of the beautiful weather last weekend and went for a hike on a portion of the North Country Trail. I met up with a hiking group and the hike leader, Mark Roberts, V.P. of the Peter Wolfe Chapter of the NCT. While out there I interviewed Mark about the NCT, new unit designation under the National Park Service, need for volunteers and what type of volunteer work needs to be done. We talk about the Peter Wolfe Chapter of the trail (which is the part of the trail I hike most), this crazy winter and good places to hike in the Western U.P. right now during our unseasonably warm and dry El Nino winter. This winter was a popular topic on the trail that day and we all agree we're going to get a huge snowstorm yet before May!

**edit** I misspoke when I said the trail runs through 11 states. It's 8. I read an article by MLive about the new unit status and MLive said 11 and had 11 in my head...I should have double checked that one!
