In this episode, we are sitting down to talk with Timothy Stoops the author of Hoosier's Hidden Hikes. A self-published book that explores places that are off the beaten path in Indiana. THG found the book on Amazon and purchased it and was so impressed with how it was laid out and its included message of leave no trace principles and treading lightly that he invited Tim to come talk to us about the book. If you are interested in finding really great hikes in Indiana beyond what you may already know. This is the night to tune in.
