June 4th, 2025 (Maine): Onward, to Katahdin! | Episode 9

Waking up in doubt and worry due to recent events, we end the day in Baxter State Park ready to go!   Recorded live by the river during an incredible weekend at Trail Days in Damascus, this episode loops all the way back not only on the beginning, but also on where my hike ended up, on Springer Mountain in December - another story from doubt to triumph.

Listen in and follow me around the Trail Days festival this past weekend!  It was truly amazing to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones and relive the trail life for a few days. In this episode, we take a break from the 2025 narrative to explore my first Trail Days after the thru-hike.

June 3rd, 2025 (Maine): A Sad Day | Episode 7

On this day, things get real.  In this episode you will hear about a tragedy on Mt. Katahdin and how that impacted the beginning of my adventure.  This was a difficult one to recall and a difficult one to record.  Out of respect for those affected, you will notice a shift in the production: the tone is more somber, and I have chosen to omit music and advertisements for this episode. It was a significant moment in the trek that demanded a moment of silence.  Follow the written journal here:  https://trailjournals.com/journal/entry/680336 [https://trailjournals.com/journal/entry/680336] See the photos from this entry on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/musehikes [https://www.instagram.com/musehikes] Questions, feedback or just want to say Hi!  museatpodcast@gmail.com [museatpodcast@gmail.com]

June 2nd, 2025 (Maine): Why I’m Hiking | Episode 5

First full day in Maine!  Using the wait time in the bus station in Bangor, this episode slows down a bit to go deeper into the “why” behind the adventure.  We’re just a couple of days from Katahdin now, let’s take a minute to reflect on the reason.
