S3 E7: GeoTagging Chat with Matthew Guthrie, Creator of @HikeAustin

The Texas Trailhead : A Texas Hiking Podcast

November 8th parks are free for everyone in honor of both veterans and active military—it is important to note that reservations will still be highly recommended, and some places required. And that being said… The Texas parks & wildlife announced that reservations can now be made up to 5 months in advance. For a lot of folks the reservations have really put a damper on planning, myself included, but for now 5 months is a really good amount of time to plan a larger trip for your family to some pretty awesome places. So start booking up those holidays now I guess My guest this week is the creator of one of my favorite Instagram accounts, @HikeAustin Matthew Guthrie is someone that has always had a passion for the outdoors, but it was when he grabbed the camera did his love for landscapes, and nature really come to fruition. In our conversation this week we’ll talk about how the account got started, his day job that funny enough doesn’t really have anything to do with the outdoors per se, and what it’s like running account with 30 thousand followers. We’ll also continue the discussion about geo tagging and what responsibilities he’s taken to provide beneficial information for visitors and even the parks themselves. You’ll be surprised to learn some of the comments and messages he gets in his inbox.
