## Resource

Thru hiker, historian, and author Kirk Ward "Solo" Robinson joins Doc for some studio time to talk trail, Type II Fun, and Hiking Through History. Settle in and buckle up as Solo and Doc cover some serious ground, including discussions of his Tennessee ancestral farm, 8-lb base weights, innovative uses for hiking poles, evolutionary benefits, quantum physics, fireworks attire, midlife crisis, wahooing beers, listening to the universe when it speaks, Hannibal, Joan of Arc, and the crazy weight of history. Epic. (This is Part II. Be sure to listen to Part I.)
