<figure class="wp-block-audio"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Hi and welcome to Tread the Red Podcast! In today’s episode we talk about Rachel’s annual Gorge trip with her mom (and Pippin). Despite the episode title, Darren is the other host of this episode! We specifically talk about how things always seem to go wrong for Rachel at the Gorge when Darren isn’t part of the trip – you’ll have to listen to find out what happened this time.
The trail(s) featured in this episode are:
*Koomer Ridge Trail
*Buck Trail
*Pinch-em-Tight Trail
*Rough Trail
More specifically, we hiked a loop that encompasses all of these trails and is close to 8 miles long! We definitely recommend it if you are looking for a longer and more challenging hike. You’ll cross multiple creeks though – so be prepared (especially if water levels are higher).
We also include a short section to discuss how someone tried to impersonate us by making a fake Tread the Red Reddit account – if you saw any posts by a user “tread_the_red” on Reddit, that wasn’t us! We actually have a Reddit account called “TreadTheRed” (no underscores). We don’t really use it, but that is the real one. Anyway, we just wanted to be very clear that we had nothing to do with the fake account or any of the stupid things they were posting! We would never want to spread hate and misinformation about the Gorge like they did.
Anyway, we hope everyone is having a great summer and staying hydrated! The RRG Farmers Market is in full swing and you can catch it every Saturday at the Natural Bridge chairlift lawn from 10AM-2PM. We highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area!
Stay tuned for another “Side Quest” episode featuring our trip to Portugal – we recorded the episode MONTHS ago, so there is some outdated current event information at the beginning, just FYI.
