We recorded this episode earlier this summer, when Suzanne embarked on her El Camino journey through Spain. In this episode, Suzanne delves into the origins of her John Muir Trail adventure from the pages of "Almost Somewhere". She also reflects on some key differences she observed during her most recent JMT trek compared to her first experience back in 1993. Suzanne also imparts valuable advice to aspiring authors who also share a love for hiking.
