Episode 7: Go Hike
Today’s installment of Readers Write In is a story from my co-worker Brad. I tweeted before about how he hiked the Appalachian Trail wearing only one pair of socks everyday for 214 days (and over 2,000 miles). I asked Brad if he wouldn’t mind bringing in his socks to do a short interview and he agreed.
Brad and I discuss the holes in both his Bridgedale socks and the Smartwools he bought for his daughter.

Man, I sure can ramble on! In the case that anyone is interested, we created a website for the hike and it has since crashed. We are in the process of moving everything over to this blog but it’s taking a while.

Brad, I also edited the post to put your AT blog as a link to the phrase “he hiked the Appalachian Trail.” Thanks again for agreeing to be interviewed!

Thanks, Beck. This may motivate me to post more of our short stories we wrote along the way.

Consider me in wholehearted support of that idea.

You are going to get hate mail from Smartwool!

I don’t care about hate mail from Smartwool because I am getting love mail from Bridgedale! I have some free socks in the mail already!!
