Just when you thought it was safe to go back outside...Showstopper is back to break hearts and maybe his hips as he and his husband hike the Pacific Crest Trail. Showstopper and the former 'Orange Blaze' met whilst thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2019 (and even involved a little Trek Blog stalking before we came face to face at Trail Days. The hiker formally known as 'Orange Blaze' got pink blazed by Showstopper, and soon followed a long distance relationship through a global pandemic, 90 day fiancé (without the TV show), and a tiny beach wedding in Maine. Now we set our sites on once again hiking across the USA, with no idea what to expect!
