From Wachusett to the Whites & Beyond with "Finding Philip": Philip Carcia

It's Fall y'all! Nick and Josh sit down and chat with one of the most prolific and creative hikers in the White Mountains: Philip Carcia!

Nick has been taking selfies with scary clowns and hiking a local hill on repeat for the Tay's Summit Challenge, Josh is excited to get spooky in the coming months, and we dive into a multitude of hiking-goodness including long trails, the Kancamagus Highway Yo-Yo, the Single-Year-Grid, 39 summits of Mount Wachusett in 24 hours, thinking "outside the box", a fun game of FKM with months in the Whites, and miles(!) more with Phil Carcia, on this inspirational episode of the PUDs Podcast!
