“I think everybody that’s on this trail…on this quest… are looking for something to complete themselves...there’s some sort of healing that goes on” – Egon Overgaard
Egon Overgaard was feeling “at loose ends” after his wife Carol passed away last fall. He began thinking about something he’d learned about long before and decided to commit to walking the nearly 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail. At 78, he’s one of the oldest on the trail. Producer Katie Carter caught up with him in Rutland, Vermont. He’d hiked abut 1700 miles and had less than 500 to go.
