Ep 13: Grandma Joy's Road Trip : Making History at 93

LGBT+ Outdoors Podcast

LGBT Outdoors is incredibly happy and... JOYful... to bring you this episode of The LGBT Outdoors Podcast. Host Justin Yoder and co-host Patrick Thompson had the mountainous pleasure to chat with Grandma Joy (age 93) and her incredible grandson, Brad Ryan. Grandma Joy and Ryan traveled across the US to visit every single (63 of them!) National Park in the US National Park System over the course of eight years?
A CNN report on their story.
How do you go from sitting on your front porch at the age of 85 to literally hiking up mountains? How do you learn the skill of "minimizing future regret" and simply saying "Yes!" How does Grandma Joy feel about Brad being gay? Just listen.
We are so very grateful for the time we got to chat with both Brad and Grandma Joy. We hope this episode puts a smile on your face, lifts your heart, and inspires you to get off the porch and GET OUT THERE!
You can see all of their fantastic adventures - and follow their travel expierences on their Instagram @GrandmaJoysRoadTrip .
