Thru hiker and creator of the xTx Trail that traverses the width of Texas, Charlie "Freestyle" Gandy sits down with Doc in the studio to talk trail creation. Settle in and buckle up as Freestyle waxes eloquent, including discussions of literally traveling the world at 17, returning the hospitality, his Trojan Horse strategy, Van-a White, rattlesnakes, heat management, the importance of uncertainty, sweat leaks, spa days, and the appeal of a Real Texas Romance. Epic. (This is Part I. Be sure to listen to Part II.)
