Show Notes

In this episode, I interview Nick Neely whose bestselling 2019 book Alta California chronicled his journey to recreate the Portola expedition, that we covered on a previous episode, starting in San Diego and making his on foot to San Francisco. It was a great conversation and I know you will enjoy it.
