In this episode of the On Adventure Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jeff Ames, aka Rambler, a true "everyday explorer" who took on the challenge of a lifetime by through-hiking the Appalachian Trail. Jeff's journey is a story of preparation, endurance, and self-discovery as he trekked 2,200 miles from Georgia to Maine over several months. We dive into what inspired him to embark on such an ambitious adventure after retiring in his mid-50s, the highs and lows of his journey, and the unforgettable characters he met along the way. Whether you're an aspiring long-distance hiker or just love hearing tales of personal transformation, this conversation is packed with insights and inspiration.

Join us as we explore the planning and execution of Jeff’s hike, the camaraderie found on the trail, and the lessons learned from spending months in the wilderness. You'll also hear some wild stories about the colorful personalities that Jeff encountered on the trail, and why he believes that hiking is much more than just a physical challenge.
