This week we have a listener spotlight with our friends Liz and Dave (of Daveshits in the woods fame) joining us to talk about their hiking and outdoor adventure pursuits. They are both well experienced hikers in the New England area so we will talk to them about their background, we will expose the secret illuminati 500 Highest hiking group to the audience and learn about their gear preference, favorite hikes and plenty of other topics. All this plus the Garden of Eden has been discovered in the Catskills, Hot Tub parties are going to be harder to come by soon, snow shovel road rage, another story of a Vagrant homeless guy who turns out to be rich, a refresher on the rules of the 4000 footer list, gear reviews, pop culture, hikes on Owls head, Hiking and sledding Cannon.
