Summary

Sophia Garber joins the podcast to tell the story of her 2020 Northville Placid Trail thru hike in the Adirondacks. She hiked it very shortly after Flossy and I did, and despite the similar time-frame... her hike sounded way more fun! So if you thought my NPT story was kind of a downer, give Sophia's a listen and hopefully you will get a different perspective on the trail!

Placid Trail just about a week and a half, I think, after I did. So that's kind of the focus of this conversation.

So hopefully you guys all heard a few episodes ago when Flossi and I went through our Northville Placet Trail Through hike.

0:45.9

It didn't go the greatest, I think, is a fair way to put it.

And fortunately, Sophia's hike, it sounds like that one went a lot better.

0:54.6
