Summary

Scott Goldie (trail name Pacman) recently completed an Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and gives an overview of his experience on the ENTIRE trail in episode number 10 of Trail Tales.

0:10.9	Happy New Year.
0:12.1	It will be 2019 by the time you are hearing this.
0:16.1	And I just want to thank you for tuning in to Trail Tales, the podcast where I, Kyle O'Grady, a through hiker
0:22.8	and peak bagger, chat with other through hikers, peak baggers, throughbaggers, and peak hikers
