Welcome to episode 500 of the Mighty Blue podcast, with Jessica Hawkins, or Dixie, as our main guest. Jessica has been a guest several times before, but in this conversation, we focus on recent life events and her hiking within a family structure.

As ever, Jessica is engaging and gives nuanced answers to questions, exposing her own vulnerabilities while remaining a solid source of wisdom about hiking.

You can follow Jessica in several ways, primarily via her YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/c/homemadewanderlust , but also on Facebook at http://Facebook.com/homemadewanderlust , on Instagram at http://Instagram.com/homemadewanderlust , and on X at https://x.com/homemadewl .

Also today, Andrew and Beth continue their Trail Magic fest as they reach Massachusetts. They met up with our mutual friend last week, Eric Gross, and shared the picture below.

And Dave and his tramily have left New Hampshire and the White Mountains behind. Maine awaits! He wanted me to share his buddy's YouTube page, where the Over the Hill Gang feature in some of the videos. https://www.youtube.com/@Lt.Hikes0329

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
