Analeise Dowd had a goal to thru hike the Pacific Northwest Trail this past summer. In her first leg of the trail, she injured her knee and was forced to slow down. This opened the opportunities for more pictures! With the injury, Analeise was hiking only about 15 miles a day, which is not a lot of mileage for a typical thru hiker.  In episode 60 Dowd's plans to blog from the trail and update her website were one of the things she was looking forward to. With a lack of service along the PNT she ended up not blogging a whole lot, though she has been going back and updating it in post. Thumbelina was a trail name she picked up this summer as a trail name. On top of her knee issues, she also had shoe issues and lost some toenails. We also discuss some of the trail conditions on certain sections.

Clint "Lint" Bunting is a well known ultralight backpacker who is know as a thru hiker of Appalachian Trail, Continental Divide Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail three times each to earn a triple triple crown from ALDHA West.

Cameron Eldred is pushed into trail running by the intensity of his daughters. He and his whole family enjoy the Pacific Northwest and being from Canada, they dip down into the states often. He describes their trips in the Enchantments, Lake O'Hara and Assiniboine; Three of this families bucket List hiking adventures.  Cameron leaves extremely early on his hikes to gain seclusion from other hikers. He doesn't like to see social media discussions with people talking about going into the Wilderness to get lost because he doesn't like the irresponsibility in the statement. His 13 year old Daughter Isabelle pushed him the most this year, training for a 25k run in Winthrop she did this past summer. Kate is 17 and is responsible for getting Cameron back into running a few years ago when she mentioned that she wanted to run a half marathon with him. Adaline is 19  and still loves to get outdoors with the family. They want to go back to the Lake O'Hara area and explore even more in the future. Mount Storm King has been on the families list, but the travel would be tough from Canada. Also, the Columbia Gorge has always enticed Cameron.

Kelly Kate Warren comes on to chat about social media bullies in hiking communities.  If someone asks about a sleeping bag, why do certain people jump all over them about it being a stupid question? We also talk about the PCTA's role in cleaning up the groups for their trail and some options for new hikers like the ALDHA West Ruck!
