Trail Correspondents Episode 7: Night Before the Trail + First Day on Trail (Group 2)

As you likely recall, in episode five, we got our first updates from the trail. Today we get our first trail update from our second group of hikers.

More specifically, we get a pair of updates. We first get a taste of where our hikers’ minds are the night before they embark on their treks. This likely comes as no surprise, but this is a time when emotions are flowing like a fire hose. Whether it’s excitement, anxiety, or a combination of the two, our hikers’ long-awaited treks are just one bad night of sleep away. And the second recording comes from the end of their first day on trail, where they’re given a blank slate to talk about whatever most inspires them.
