0:00.0	What's up everybody? Welcome to episode 98 of Trail Tales. My name is Kyle Grady. I'm a through hiker. I am a peekbacker. I am a huge hiking nerd as you all know.
0:19.3	And every single week on this podcast with the exception
0:22.5	of holidays because i didn't do an episode during thanksgiving week i chat with other
0:28.2	hiking nerds about their experiences on the trail i'm killing the intro this morning um
0:33.8	this is a great episode this is an appalach Trail episode. Some of you hopefully recall episode number 92 with Rune Raven. Well, on this episode, I chat with Rune's partner. Her name is Nikki. And I'm going to be honest, as you're going to hear at the very beginning of the conversation, I can't do her name. Like, I could try, but I would
0:55.9	just butcher it. It would just be embarrassing for everybody involved, including the listener. So I'm
1:00.5	not even going to try. Rune and Nikki are both from Denmark, and they hike the Appalachian
1:06.3	Trail this year. As you will recall from the last episode I did with Rune, we spent most of the
1:12.5	episode talking about a 2020-A-T-through hike in the time of COVID, and I felt like it didn't
1:19.9	really do, I don't even know how to say it. I felt like I didn't give him the chance to really
1:25.6	talk about his actual hike too much because we just talked about COVID. And so the goal with this episode was to not
1:31.4	really talk about COVID that much and just give Nikki a chance to talk about their actual hike
1:36.5	because they hiked the entire thing together. And that's basically what we did for the entire
1:41.1	episode, although I guess at the beginning we did also talk about the Camino a little bit, which was interesting because that's something that hasn't really
1:48.1	been discussed on the show too much. And it was a great time. So Nikki, thank you so much for
1:53.4	doing this. I really, really appreciate it. And we'll have to do another episode soon. Those of you
1:59.1	that listen to this show on the regular, might recall that a few episodes
2:02.5	ago I said something about if you leave a iTunes review, I will read it during the next
2:07.2	intro.
2:08.2	And then I kind of forgot during the next intro, I think.
2:11.6	I'm sorry, I took some time off for Thanksgiving.
2:13.5	I'm just getting back into this, back into the swing of things here. But I did get some more reviews.
