Episode Summary: Howdy! We wanted to shake up the cadence a bit and share some ofthe things we’ve learned in our years of backpacking and thru-hiking. That’s to saw, we wish we’d known some of these things before we were forced to learn them, but experience is the best teacher, right?!

Episode Summary: We were hiking along an asphalt desert, quite literally...it was desert and farmland in Oregon, but we were walking the highway with no shoulder. Our thighs, shins, and feet were riddled with painful red splotches-heat rash. But thank goodness we had angels along the way, people going out of their way to offer us water, air conditioning, and shelter. We circumvented the Lions head closure with a road walk and rewarded ourselves with the famous Timberline Lodge buffer (every hiker’s dream). Our week 22 of the PCT was jam-packed, and concludes with a pretty stunning hiking speckled with waterfalls, and new hiker friends as we arrive at Cascade Locks. Cascade Locks signifies the end of Oregon (NOBO) and the beginning of the last state of the PCT, Washington. Oh, and Yeti was too drunk to say hello to his then PCT hero, and we stayed in an asylum converted to a hotel. We wrap with an environmental corner segment discussing the importance of ground truthing information both about our environment, and beyond.

Episode Summary: Welcome to Oregon, the magic carpet,and our 24-hour challenge from week 21 on the PCT. In this episode of YWIB, we lasso 3 other hikers into our 24-hours of straight hiking from Shelter Cover Resort to…somewhere. At some point, we lose 2 folks to sleepiness, see a sasquatch/Jesus burn image, just about die from mosquitoes, and then FINALLY make it to 24 hours. Basecamp loses her wedding band, we spend 3 days in Sisters, resting…and then we begin our road walk around the Lionshead closure.
