Making Shapes in the Whites with "GwennStrattonHikes": Gwenn Stratton

It's the "Pulp Fiction" of podcast episodes as Nick and Josh conclude a busy week of pre-Thanksgiving recording, and sit down with one of their favorite hikers to follow; Gwenn Stratton!

Turkeys have been acquired, Nick bags Tecumseh for "Fall" as well as all four seasons and revisits Cascade Path in Waterville Valley, Josh plans another New Year's Eve visit to the Whites, "Coach Josh" is back on the court, and we learn about what drives Gwenn to do what she does in the Whites; creating, crushing, and sharing impressive (and often shapely!) routes through some of New Hampshire's most rugged terrain, including traditional trails, slides, and bushwhacks, on this let's-pretend-it's-after-Thanksgiving-but-it-really-isn't-episode of the PUDs Podcast!
