Episode 38 - Local Author Alan Via

Welcome to episode 38 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! In this episode I have a great chat with local author and long-time hiker Alan Via. We talk about his roles in volunteering, past experiences with hiking in the Catskills and Adirondacks (including two close calls with hypothermia) and his new book called “Dog Hiker.” We also have a good chat about some hikes and history in the northern Catskills, local books and authors and also about what it was like to hike in the crazy 70’s. Tonight's history is about the forestry belt in the Catskills. Thanks for listening! Subscribe on any platform! Share! Donate! Do whatever you want! I'm just glad you're listening!
