Listen "ELEVATION on the North Country Trail, Hike 100 Challenge"
Episode Synopsis
Another 5 miles on the Hike 100 Challenge! We've completed 60% of the challenge! Today, we hike a difficult portion of the North Country Trail in Yankee Springs Recreation Area/Barry State Game Area. The trail was incredibly overgrown, with some obstacles, and I was quite sore from another hike, but we enjoyed the sights and finished the hike.Join the challenge!
