June 11th, 2025 (Maine): New SoBos! | Episode 17

Not every day on the trail is an epic battle against the elements. Today was just a genuinely good, light-hearted day in the woods. On the eve of a scheduled food drop, a handful of southbounders cross paths. This episode is all about the simple joy of trading stories and enjoying the beautiful, quiet spaces of the Hundred Mile Wilderness. In the commentary, hear Muse go into what trail food was like early in the journey.
