In this episode, Courtney talks with Olivia "Rainbow" Neal and Johnny "Lost Johnny" William, owners of the newly established Hidden Pond Hostel. Theirs is a unique story! They met on trail on their 2022 AT thru hike. They talk about surprising serendipity, what it's like to "date" on a thru hike, and they answer the question: Why would you open a hiker hostel?
