What's going on everybody? My name is Dan Becker. I am a through hiker. I am a peakbacker. I am a huge hiking nerd. And every single week on this podcast, I chat with other through hikers and

other peak baggers and other hiking nerds about their experiences on the trail. That is what we

do here at Trail Tales and I am not Dan Becker. I am Kyle O'Grady. This is an awesome episode

because this week's guest, her name is Rose Comics Turner, and she is a really, really badass throughhiker.

She's an amazing artist, and she also happens to be the current editor for this podcast, which she is certainly, how can I put this lightly freaking incredible at, as you all know.

So it was an awesome episode.

She hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2018, much like I did, except she went southbound.

And we spend a good, not a, I don't want to say a portion of this episode, but there's a, there's a good

segment in this episode where we're basically like going over our notes and like our

Instagram archives and all this stuff trying to figure out when we passed each other.

Because we don't remember passing each other as you're going to find out. And so anyways,

that was kind of fun. That was a first for the show and at the end of

the episode comics shares two stories which is cool it's always good to have an extra story in there

both of which are a little bit sketchy so people love the sketchy stories even though they're

sketchy so yeah it was a great episode what kind of what is that people love the sketchy anyways

it was a great episode and comics when you hear this keep up the awesome work editing this podcast
