On this episode I have California based peak bagger, explorer, US Marine veteran, and the creator of California Hiking Group, Ray Medearis, join me on the show. We talk about about how the great outdoors saved his life, the origins behind @CaliforniaHikingGroup, his #52HikeChallenge feature, Black Lives Matter, tips for long day hikes, and his favorite hikes in all of California. We also discuss the catalyst to why Ray recently felt it was important to reveal himself to the outdoor community - an African American man behind one of the largest California inspired Instagram accounts @CaliforniaHikingGroup. This is part 1 of Ray Medearis' story. Stay tuned for part 2.
