In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, recorded at Wayfinder, Badger sits down with Weezer, a 2018 PCT hiker with one hell of a story.\xa0 We talk about what it's like to thru-hike in the PCT's bubble as a sober person, an incredibly sad life event she had to endure while on trail, and how the trail has played a role in her metamorphosis to a better life.\xa0 We get a new thru-hiker of the week and close out with a triple crown of PCT restaurants, joined by special guest Puma.\xa0 This is an emotionally dense, yet ultimately, uplifting show.\xa0
