Steve AdamsEpisode #188 – Dianne Seger (Lady Di)

[BOT]

Lady Di was part of one of my earlier “tramilies.” We spent quite a bit of time together around Fontana Dam and the Smokies but were separated after that. She was yet another example of a fiercely independent, strong woman who brought a lot to the trail this year.

Starting her hike less than a week after her retirement, she was slow but steady throughout her journey. I particularly remember her cooking “real” food every night, unlike my own pathetic efforts.

Now that she has finished the trail–just a week before this conversation–she is still coming to terms with the impact of the hike on her and starting to adjust to retirement.

Tina Dunaway is the last but one of the Mighty Blue Class of 2019 and she has her own story that tells why she finished the trail after 600 miles. It isn’t a happy ending but certainly one with hope for the future.

The post Episode #188 – Dianne Seger (Lady Di) appeared first on Mighty Blue on The Appalachian Trail.
