If you've ever been interested in thru-hiking the Tahoe Rim Trail, this episode is for you! Taylor Norton joins me once again, this time to discuss his recent attempt at thru-hiking the Tahoe Rim Trail. Unfortunately, he was not able to successfully complete the trail, finding himself in a weather-related circumstance that required him to put his safety before his ego.

0:00.0	How's it going, everybody? You are listening to episode number 51 of Trail Tales. My name is Kyle O'Grady. I'm a
0:17.1	through hiker. I'm a peak bagger. And this is the podcast where every single week I have on another through hiker and another peak bagger and another hiking nerd like myself to talk about their experiences on the trail.
0:30.4	And that's exactly what happens in this episode.
0:34.1	My good friend, Taylor Norton, comes on the show.
0:37.2	For the second time, he was first on
0:39.9	way back during episode number two. Freaking year ago, people. It's crazy that year went by really,
0:46.7	really fast. And on this episode, we talk about his attempt at through hiking the Tahoe Rim Trail.
0:52.9	Most of the episode is me just asking him those
0:56.1	basic through hiker questions that someone might research when they're first learning about
1:00.7	a potential trail to through hike. And then at the end, we do talk a little bit about why he
1:06.5	wasn't able to complete his through hike. And we gave a little reminder that you should always
1:12.1	put your safety before your ego when it comes to these things folks. So it was a great episode.
1:18.1	Taylor, when you hear this man, thank you so much for coming on a second time. Let's do it
1:22.7	again soon. We're going to get into the conversation in just a second, but first I've got
1:27.3	to read a couple
1:27.8	iTunes reviews. I'm way, way, way behind on these. This next one I'm about to read is from
1:32.9	September 27th, 2019, so here we go. This one says, great podcast, Kyle. I haven't listened to them
1:40.3	all, but I'm working on it. You speak clearly and the listener can really tell you are
1:44.2	enjoying this. I am. Thank you very much. Thanks for the diverse interviews that all seem to inspire
1:50.0	and educate in their own way. Keep up the great work and good luck getting on the PCT. It's hard
1:54.8	to stop adulting once you start. Oh boy. Also, thanks for the Trail stickers from Matt. Matt, thank you very much. I'm sorry.
2:03.1	It took me so long to read this. This next one says, ooh, this is a long one. Bum to be out of episodes.
