Buenas dias. Que tal? Thanks for stopping by. My name is Lawton Grinter and this is my weblog. My other name is Disco and this is his weblog too. I was born in the Old Dominion and grew up in a southern town with a Peachoid.


I currently live in the Last Great Colorado Ski Town and spend most of my time hiking and trail running when I'm not hangin' out with P.O.D. or spending time on Twitter.

Practical Backpacking Interview

P.O.D. and I just did an interview with Bernie Wilt of PracticalBackpacking.com last week. In the interview Bernie asked us a lot of questions specific to backpacking as a couple. If you are looking to kill 45 minutes, give it a listen here or head over to the iTunes Store and you'll find it under Podcasts. I've been a big fan of his podcast interviews for a while now and am honored to become one of his interviewees.

Here's the intro from PracticalBackpacking.com:

In this episode Lawton Grinter (Disco) and Felicia Hermosillo (P.O.D.) share what it was like to backpack as a couple for over 5,000 miles.

In recent years, the couple hiked both the Continental Divide Trail (see Walkumentary) and the Pacific Crest Trail, living on love, patience, trial and error, and whatever they could fit into their modest backpacks.

Having spent nearly every minute and mile after mile with mere paces between them, the two learned a lot about each other, themselves, and even how to yogi a thing or two. Listen in to laugh, learn, and dream as this adventurous duo shares their memorable journey.

Awww, how cute. I'll have to build a fire and make some hot chocolate and listen with Skittles when he gets here. Oh wait, it's 100 degrees here, maybe we'll listen poolside. See you soon,

Nice... just listened while sitting in my living room in Minneapolis, on a fairly nice spring day, after work. It brought back lots of good memories of the summer of 2006. Rawlins will never be the same! ;)

I think it's amazing how we meet people and who ends up sticking with us... Good to "hear" from you.

Best,
~Toby

P.S. I still have those vids that were not able to transfer and I don't know why I never got them to you... 360 degrees of Disco.

P.P.S. Hey, POD. :)
