S2E10: What is the Continental Divide Trail?
Listen to full episode :
What is the Continental Divide Trail?
Today we sit down and chat with Constantine and Magpie as they fight the good fight of not having an energy drink induced heart attack.
We break down the walls of time with a double recording. As always... we must do another energy drink review even though we literally just finished the last. It is what the audience wants, it is what this LIVE show demands, we hear you loud and clear.
Taking a dip back into the past we now take a deeper dive into Magpie's first thru-hike, the CDT. We chat the feelings of going into the "hardest" of the Big 3 trails first, what it means to be a Southbounder, and the glory of the state of Montana.
We chat relocating problem bears, the fear of Colorado, trail families along a less travelled trail, and shaking eyeballs. We chat the actual Continental Divide, trail towns of New Mexico, and alternates, alternates and more alternates.
We dive into the tangent of hiking with someone from "real life." Whether that is a friend, acquaintance, best friend, we chat about the challenges this can cause. In theory a fabulous idea, but we talk about the great equalizing factor of the trail and how it can bring about different wants, needs, and choices of friends. There are some that have not only solved this issue but excelled, but our word of advice, meet those that click with you.
We chat about the diamond that is Wyoming, singing "I'm A Barbie Girl" enough times to reach insanity, and feelings of accomplishment. We chat "chasing the high" and how a great thing can lead to a time of not being in the moment. We try to bounce around the "Super Butte Cutoff" but very ineloquently say there is no right nor wrong, but people still can have their own opinions.
We as always recommend not bear spraying a moose.
We become parrots as we can't break past our Ramen Rating Review scores of the past few weeks.
We end the show with sweaty knees, moist palms, and a possible trip to the doctors office.
(P:S: A joke, Constantine is well and fine... well physically at least)
