In this episode, we talk with the Ellis family.  This is part 1 of a 2 part series!  The Ellis family is from Illinois and has explored many parts of the country by bike as a family.  They share some stories from their earlier days of traveling as a family and Jenny shares how this was the inspiration for one of her self published books From Flat tires to Root Beer Floats.  The trio hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail together and sang along the way.  The trail is a place where many people find inspiration and freedom, and for Jenny, that means creating musical parodies of the family's hiking experience!  The Ellis family shares their plans for their most recent hiking adventure, a thru-hike of the Superior Hiking Trail. They set out to thru-hike the trail on July 2, 2020, and we talk about the preparation and logistics behind their SHT thru-hike as well as perspective challenges, plans, and have some Q&A support with Andy about his thru-hike experience on the SHT.  Be sure to come back for part 2 where the family shares about their whole SHT thru-hike experience!
