Summary

Flossy and I successfully completed the Northville Placid Trail in the Adirondacks. This was my second attempt at thru hiking this trail so I finally got my redemption. However... it wasn't easy. It was the hardest hike that we have attempted since the Appalachian Trail in 2018. Tune in to find out what happened.

0:00.0	How's it going, everybody? You're listening to Trail Tales episode number 91, the Northville
0:15.5	Placid Trail episode. My name is Kyle O'Grady. I'm a through hiker. I'm a peak bagger. I'm a huge hiking nerd.
0:21.9	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The Northfield Placichita episode, yes. This is a very big one for me,
0:26.9	personally. This episode, uh, Flossie is back. He's back again. He was just on two episodes
0:32.4	ago, but he's back for his like fourth or fifth episode. I can't even remember at this point, but we hiked the
0:38.5	Northville Placet Trail together and we lived together. So it was fitting that he comes on and we do
0:44.3	the podcast together, obviously. So yeah, just about two weeks ago, we set out and we threw
0:50.4	hiked the Northville Placet Trail in the Adirondacks. It took us about eight days.
0:54.9	And in this podcast, we just go through each and every day.
0:58.9	Talk about what happens the significance of each day.
1:02.8	And I think if you're planning on through hiking this trail or any trail at a similar length,
1:08.3	especially one in the northeast per se in fall when it's raining.
1:12.6	I think you're going to find this pretty useful and hopefully pretty interesting.
1:16.6	I also want to mention that today I also uploaded a pretty long for my standards video of our entire hike.
1:24.6	Yeah, one big video of the entire Northville Placet Trail. I tell our entire story. It's taken me a long time to edit. It's been a challenge to edit, but a very fulfilling and fun challenge, I'll say. And so you should go check that out as well. It's actually not done yet as of the time of this recording, but this is going to be out like four days from the time that you hear this. So I'm putting a deadline on myself here. So go check that
1:49.4	out on my YouTube channel. Kyle hates hiking. Most of you know where to find it. I will have a
1:54.1	link to the video in the show notes of this podcast as well. I got to hold myself to finishing it
2:00.3	before then. Even more now because I just said that.
2:02.4	Yeah, go check that out.
2:03.7	Got to thank Flossi for giving me even more of his time doing another one of these podcasts.
2:08.0	That's amazing.
2:08.7	I got to thank my editor.
