Trail Correspondents #9: The Wildcard Show

This is a fun episode, as our hikers were tasked only to report on whatever subject was at the forefront of their minds.  The instructions were loose and the results are broad, in the most entertaining way possible. 

Topics discussed include the simultaneous love and disdain for ukuleles, the selflessness of the hiking community, the 24 x 24 x 24 challenge, why hikers complain, a comparison of the AT, PCT, and CDT from a pair of soon to be triple crowners, what it's like to go through a mental rut on trail and how to dig yourself out, and much, much more.

In today's show, we hear from: 

• Kate Mueller aka Sassafras 
• IBTAT
• Lauren Peruffo aka Fainting Goat
• Gwen Nitya
• Jacob Beaver
• Sarah Mowery
• Miles Bisher aka "Miles To Go"
• Kate Emmons
• Madeline Newel
• Lukas Isaacson
• Rachael "Rabbit" DeLano
