Akuna (Akuna Matata), known off trail as Will Robinson, completed his Triple Crown this summer with the Continental Divide Trail, becoming the first African American Man to do so. In this episode, we go back to the beginning. To PTSD and extremely dark places. To WILD and Reese Witherspoon and Monster. To the Pacific Crest Trail in 2016 and new friends who found their way back to him on each of the trails. And a turning point in Kennedy Meadows' trail journal where he wrote “Today and from now on, I will be known as Akuna the Great”.
