Franklin

For those of us just listening.

Because it's the Witch Walk in Franklin, North Carolina, Saturday, tomorrow after this airs.

Please send the ladies my well wishes.

Yes.

And, um, in 2008, the recession hit, and, uh, my industry was heavily affected by, uh, the recession.

And I was previously relocated to Franklin, North Carolina from Florida.

Okay.

And, um, after living here for a year or two and things going south with the economy, um, I met Corey, uh, my business partner, and, uh, one day we were both in, we were both in pretty dire professional career, um, scenarios, and we said, "What do we have to lose, man? Let's start an outdoor store." And, um, so we concepted this shop in, uh, the spring of 2010.

If I had to put a hiker in a shoe that I thought was going to mitigate the most risk of them-

Yeah

... developing, you know, posterior tibial tendinopathy or an Achilles issue or something like that, dude, I'm, I'm one little, I'm one little shop in Franklin, North Carolina.

Uh, I am not going to change the trajectory of the outdoor footwear industry.

We are, um, we've got one more appearance at a local library, uh, in Western North Carolina.

And then we've got, um, our last appearance, Halloween, is at the Witch Walk, downtown Franklin.

We always do that, and we'll be doing the, at their little ar- ar- artisanal market that morning, uh, while we're waiting for the Witch Walk.

So we'll have a few signing copies there.

We, we can't do this without you.

And thank you for just-

If you're anywhere near Franklin, North Carolina on Halloween, me and Mark will be part of the Witch Walk.

Heck yeah.

Dylan's friends and family reported him missing to the Orange County Sheriff's Department and a search for him began in mid-February 2018.

According to the few reports that do exist, which are sparse and not very much information, Dylan's truck was found at the Gap Rock parking lot on the Appalachian Trail just off Forest Road in Franklin, North Carolina.

His truck wasn't the only thing that officers discovered during their search, and just a few yards away from his abandoned truck they found Dylan's driver's license, diary, bag, sleeping bag, hiking boots and warm clothes neatly tucked away in a tent.

As there is so little information available, it's hard to know whether Dylan was witnessed by any other hikers from late January to early February.

And that the whole premise of John Howe's interpretation of this was based on these mounds that were in the area that they originally wanted to have this take place in.

And it was in modern day Franklin, North Carolina.

But in Franklin, North Carolina, there were these old mounds by these Nikasi.

I'm probably butchering that, but Nikasi, which was like a specific tribe within the Cherokees.

And they lived on this mound.
