September 11, 2020 13:43 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MB

It seems a bit pretentious to talk about where I've been like I'm someone important.   But I think taking breaks is important.  This podcast had been running pretty consistently since the end of December 2019, and when I was wrapping up season two I was feeling a bit uninspired.  There was nothing dramatic going on at the time, and I wasn't really hiking as much because of the reservation system.   I felt that taking a bit of a breather in between seasons, which are not based on anything besi...
