E59 | Pacific Crest Trail | Week 18 | Encounter With D******d Steve | Dunsmuir to Seiad Valley
Description
Episode Summary: In this episode we cover our Week 18 on the PCT where we get an older lady riled up because of our wonky Garmin, meet Dickhead Steve, spend time in Etna with a South African couple, hike through some of the more stunning mountains of the PCT (Trinity Alps), suck it up while hiking in the rain for 3 days (obviously we have not done the AT yet), and set ourselves up for success to have a milkshake breakfast in Seiad Valley. Additionally, if you’ve read his far, lucky you! Sawyer, this episode’s sponsor, is giving away a care package to the 1st person who listens to the episode and reaches out. Listen in to figure out how! Lastly, we cover a brief Environmental Corner segment about litter and trash on trail, and how it becomes other chemicals/compounds later on. Thanks to Nick Fowler for being this segment’s inspiration!
