Merry Christmas..! Mat Hazley (trail-name Squeaky) is attempting to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and Appalachian Trail in a single calendar year. I spoke with him last Sunday at Miss Janet’s hiker hostel in Erwin, 338 miles from Springer Mountain. He estimated thirteen days to get there, as he routinely hikes 40 to 45 miles a day. A big thanks to Miss Janet for lining up this conversation..!

It’s been a few months since I’ve published a program, but Trailcast is back, and rolling. In this program, I spoke with Jan Leitschuh.
