    Sep 29 2025

    Episode Summary:

    In this week’s episode, we finish up the last four days of week 24 where we reflect on enjoying one of Washington’s freezing lakes on a stranger’s paddleboard, dealing with shoe malfunctions, bonding with U-Turn, hallucinating turtles and (maybe) people, getting the sug-sug, and narrowly escaping the Snoqualmie norovirus epidemic.

    Stick around for an update on our AZT documentary, our future hiking plans, and a riveting environmental corner about the southern boarder wall and it’s effects on wildlife and the environment.

    ALSO! Take our poll and let us know if you want to close out this YWIB season with two episodes that cover Basecamp and Loba’s hike of the Collegiate Loop!

    Enjoy!
