Summary

In this two-part episode I start off by talking about the worst hiking injury I've ever experienced, which happened recently while backpacking the Cranberry Lake 50 in the Adirondacks. I talk about what went wrong, what we can do to learn from it... and how much it sucked. Here's a link to the video of my hike: https://youtu.be/ggwHwgPtF7w In part 2, the wonderful Trail Tales editor and thru hiker Rose "Comics" Turner is back for a conversation about her experience as an Appalachian Trail shuttle driver, as well as some (rare) sketchy characters that have been on the AT this year.

0:00.0	How's going everybody?
0:12.0	Welcome to episode number 120 of Trail Tales.
0:15.0	My name is Kyle O'Grady.
0:17.0	I am a huge hiking nerd.
0:18.0	And every single week on this podcast, I chat with other huge hiking nerd and every single week on this podcast I chat with other huge hiking nerds
0:22.3	about their experiences on the trail or in this case some experiences that have to do with the
0:29.3	trail that are not partaking directly on the trail and by that I mean one of the themes of this episode because there are actually two parts of this episode one of the themes of this episode, because there are actually two parts of this episode.
0:40.6	One of the themes of this episode is a chat with Rose Comics Turner, who you guys know and love very much if you listen to this show on the reg.
0:50.5	She is the editor for this podcast, and she does an amazing job. She's also an Appalachian
0:55.9	Trail Thurhiker and avid backpacker and she does some part-time shuttle work in front

1:13.7	and it hasn't really been talked about very much on the show. And so I thought it would be fun
1:17.9	to have Rose on just to have a very casual conversation about what it's like to be a shuttle
1:22.5	driver on the AT. And we did that. However, that is only half the episode that is part two of this
1:28.2	episode because folks I decided to try something a little bit different on this
1:31.8	episode for the first time ever a two-part trail tales episode and the first part is
1:37.2	made up entirely of of me that's right you get to hear me talk for for 25 minutes
1:43.3	uninterrupted I know just what you just what you've wanted. But for real, I've wanted to kind of experiment with like a solo episode for a while now. However, I wasn't really sure if I could talk about the theme of part one in this episode for an entire hour. And so instead, you got half an hour roughly of me talking about my
2:03.7	Cranberry Lake 50 hike and the injury that I suffered on it and basically how
2:09.5	much it sucked and some lessons that you can learn from my mistakes some lessons
2:13.8	that I learned from my mistakes and just some general general self-banter about injuries while you're hiking.
