In this episode, we travel to Roseboro, a small eastern North Carolina town that sits on the route of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail but doesn’t actually have any good places to hike. Yet. We also meet the trail angels that hikers depend on to get to the end, and talk to a woman who’s attempting to finish the MST in just 30 days.
