The Unlikely Thru-Hiker: An Appalachian Trail Journey

What would compel someone who has never hiked a day in their life to take on the Appalachian Trail? Not only did Lugo not have any experience, he was much more of an indoorsy person. But when his job situation changed, the Black comedian came up with a grand plan of how he’d make use of the unexpected free time over the summer. Starting in Springer Mountain, Georgia and ending in Katahdin, Maine, Lugo takes us along on the 2,190 mile hike across the AT as he learns about thru-hiking culture, the unpredictability of nature, and how to maintain a goatee no matter the circumstances.
