242. LIVE Podcast From PCT Days With Broadway, Shadow, Prodigal Son, Late Bloom Hiker, Sparkles, & Ravenclaw
In this episode we are coming at you LIVE from Pacific Crest Trail Days ("PCT Days") in Cascade Locks, Oregon! PCT Days is an annual thru-hiker gathering right on the border of Oregon and Washington - and right next to the iconic Bridge of the Gods. Here, Cheer talks with current and prior PCT hikers and asks them pointed questions about how their hike is going, or how it went if they hiked in prior years.
In part 2 of this LIVE podcast, we talk to Broadway, Shadow, Prodigal Son, and Late Bloom Hiker. Broadway is a first time thru-hiker crushing it (and crying along the way - slay). Shadow, Prodigal Son, and Late Bloom Hiker are all alumni PCT hikers reflecting on their time on trail. We also have two special guests sharing their answers to our questions: Sparkles who is on the Continental Divide Trail and Ravenclaw who is hiking in Europe this year!
In this episode, each guest answers:
1. What's a moment from your hike that you'll always remember?
2. What was harder than you expected?
3. What was easier or better than you expected?
4. How has the trail changed you?
