This week Nick and Josh welcome thru-hiker, peak-bagger, and manager of The Notch Hostel Tricia Case (also commonly known by her trail-name "Pearl") and learn all about The Notch Hostel up in North Woodstock, New Hampshire, as well as her own pursuits hiking Vermont's Long Trail, the Appalachian Trail, and her experience cranking out a Single Season Winter 48 Four-Thousand Footers!
Josh is fired up tonight, Nick does some local hiking down in Newport, Rhode Island and has a close encounter with a deer along with some ice-fishing at Maspenock in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, Josh is disappointed in his body, a tidbit on last week's episode when it comes to the small wood-stoves in AMC huts during the winter, and we dive into a great conversation with Tricia about the expected and unexpected challenges of long-distance hiking, what it's like working at hostel during the AT Hiking Season, how Tricia got her trail-name, fireside chats, Summits in Solidarity, sunrise hikes, getting creative with thru-hiker leftovers, and everything about The Notch Hostel on this maybe-we're-going-to-have-to-camp-out-here-soon-episode of the PUDs Podcast!
