Blazing Trail Ep. 2 – Finding Love in its Many Forms on the SHT
This episode is all about finding love in its many forms on the Superior Hiking Trail.
Beth and George on the trail.
We meet Beth Kaszynski and George Dahm, a couple who fell in love while volunteering for a trail rehabilitation project near Lutsen. They got married on Iona’s Beach and have been married for 21 years.
Katie and Josh Belanger on their first Anniversary, and revisiting the SHT ten years later with their kids.
We also visit with Katie and Josh Belanger, a Grand Marais couple who planned a thru-hike on the SHT for their first wedding anniversary. The trip itinerary didn’t go as planned, but the hike still serves as a formative part of their relationship with each other, and with the SHT.
Sisters, at the beginning of their second hike on the SHT.
Finally, Duluth sisters Lynn, Krista and Cheryl share their story about a planned hike during the COVID 19 pandemic. After an injury on the trail resulted in an abrupt ending, the three sisters made a second attempt, reaffirming sisterly love, pride in each other and a love for the trail, after the loss of their father.
