In Episode #15 the gang discusses "Trail Magic" and has on several guests to discuss the giving, receiving, and witnessing of said "magic." This episode represents the first part of the Trail Magic Series. First, we take some time to define the topic. We then hear from two Tripping Legends on all things related to trail magic encountered "on the trail." Finally, we deliver a remarkable story that took place in 2021 on the LDP "6-Day hike," where some of the most specialized help one could ask for simply walked out of the woods. ALSO, we're taking your voicemails on Trail Magic, so CALL IN and share.
