Settle in and buckle up as Good Cat goes deep on all things CT, including discussions of water bottle sleeves, 40-mile limps, giardia, baby wipe etiquette, grifting, professional hitching, SASH-ers, the Dirtbag Dining Guide, resupply strategies, don't-miss activities on the CT, and the glorious 487 miles from Denver to Durango. Epic. (This is Part II. Be sure to listen to Part I.)
