Episode Summary: In this episode of “Yeti Walks Into Basecamp” we discuss our 2-day hike of the “41” mile lollipop/loop trail called The Big and Little Dominguez Loop from Alltrails. We do this before hopping back into telling our PCT overarching story, and to offer two new things! We will be video recording future episodes to get those on our YouTube channel (link below, for those of you who like you watch your podcast- and I know the video quality is bad, but the next episode will be far better), and we will also be including more guests to listen in and ask questions, just because it adds a bit more spice. On today’s episode, we feature a returning guest, Michelle Nagle, from our E11: Fireside Chats / Unsung Heroes. Give them both a listen and let us know what you think!
