Episode Summary: Bridge of the Gods, asylum hotels, foot tall ice cream cones, tropical Washington, pitching in a ditch, and the bubble. Week 23 of our PCT trek had all of these things and oh so much more. We only cover 6 days this week in anticipation of having a very special guest on the next PCT week’s episode. Tune in, go through our journey with us, and see just haw crazy these last few weeks of the PCT trek really were. Our environmental corner segment covers the massive wildfires in AZ affecting the Arizona Trail and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. As much as we also don’t want to admit it, climate change is affecting our “now” and our future.A HUGE thanks to both Sawyer & Leve Outdoors for sponsoring this episode!
