How's it going, everybody?

Welcome to episode number 122 of Trail Tales.

My name is Kyle Grady.

I am a huge hiking nerd.

And every single week, well, kind of on this podcast, I chat

with other hiking nerds about their experiences on the trail. This is another Baker episode, folks.

I don't even know how many episodes I lost track a long time ago, how many he's been on,

but it was a fun one. At the beginning, we're kind of just like shooting the

shit, having a good time. And then towards the middle and up until the end, Baker goes, he goes

in on some of the hiking he's been doing in Colorado. I basically just shut the hell up for the

second part of the episode because yeah, he basically just was was going off telling a lot of cool stories

and getting me pretty hype and also a little bit nervous to do some some hiking out west

and some unfamiliar terrain so baker when you hear this screw you but but thank you at the same time

for coming on the show and and helping me out with all these episodes.

Yeah, I really appreciate it.

And of course, the listeners do as well.

We're going to get into it in just a second, folks.

Let me plug the Patreon because here's the thing.

I don't think a lot of people realize how important Patreon is for the survival of this show.

Haven't really been many advertisers lately, that's okay.

I don't really, I'm not super desperate to have people sponsoring this show.

But it is nice to have a little bit of, just a little bit of money coming in to just kind of, you know, pay the bills around here.
