The Unlikely Thru Hiker

A young black man from New York City, Derick Lugo hit the Appalachian trail with an overweight backpack, a can-do attitude, and very little hiking experience. What followed were lessons on preparation, humility, race relations, and nature's wild unpredictability. Known on the trail as Mr. Fabulous, Lugo refused to let anything squash his inner Pollyanna, persevering with humor, tenacity and an unshakable commitment to grooming that sees him from Georgia to Maine.
