What's going on, everybody?

You're listening to Trail Tales episode number two, and today we have on a very special guest,

my friend Taylor Norton. Taylor is fresh off of a through hike of the Vermont Long Trail, which is about a

270 mile trail that runs from the Vermont, Massachusetts border, pretty much straight up the state,

up the spine of the Green Mountains, all the way to the Vermont Canadian border. Taylor and I

first met each other this past summer when I was hiking the AT, and that's because

the AT and the Long Trail are actually the same trail throughout Southern Vermont.

I've hiked the long trail a couple times, as you'll find out in this episode, and it was

really great to just kind of reminisce about some of our favorite parts of the trail.

We also got into some of Taylor's gear, some of his favorite towns, and yeah, we pretty much just cover it all.

Anyways, if you want to contact me for whatever reason, say, I don't know, Kyle, I keep hearing

this weird background noise on your audio. What is that?

It's actually my chair.

I need to get a new office chair.

Anyway, say you want to contact me.

Say you want to call me out for something.

Or maybe you want to say something positive.

Maybe you like the show.

Maybe you think I'm doing a good job because clearly I don't know what I'm doing.

And you appreciate my effort. Whatever it is, if you want to contact me, I'm doing a good job because clearly I don't know what I'm doing and you appreciate my

effort.

Whatever it is, if you want to contact me, I'm on Instagram and Twitter at Trail TalesPod.
