What's up everybody? Welcome to episode 105 of Trail Tales. My name is Kyle O'Grady. I'm a through-hiker. I am a peakbacker. I am a huge hiking nerd who stumbles over his words sometimes.

Thank you for joining. This is going to be a great episode. Taylor the New Hampshire hiker,

or I guess it's it's New Hampshire. I always feel really weird saying that I kind of butcher it.

But you guys know Taylor hopefully by now. She's a previous guest of Trail Tales.

You've probably seen her in some of my videos from the summer maybe if you watch my ridiculous

videos.

And she's awesome.

She's an amazing hiker, and she is going to be leaving to hike the Appalachian Trail.

Just a few days passed from the time that you hear this episode.

And so most of the episode we spend just kind of talking about that, talking about her plans,

talking about what she's excited for, maybe what she's not excited for.

And then I do a fair bit of reminiscing and just kind of run in my mouth about my through hike as well.

So it was a good time. It was a great

episode. Taylor's a great friend of mine and very thankful that she was down to spend some time

talking to me shortly before she left. So it was awesome. Thank you, Taylor. Best of luck out there.

We're going to get into the episode real quick here. First, I just want to give a huge shout

out to the editor of Trail Tales, Rose Comics, Turner, because she has been doing an amazing job.

I don't thank her enough, and I'm not always the easiest person to schedule with. I'll just,

I'll just leave it at that. So thank you, Rose. Thank you for all the amazing work.

And I think I say on the behalf of everybody that listens to, yeah, thank you very, very much.

Let's get into the episode, folks.

We're going to keep this one short.
