Doc welcomes back Triple Crowner and Chief Dirtbag Carol "Cheer' Coyne to Hiker Trash Radio. Settle in and buckle up as Cheer covers some serious ground, including adjusting to the Default World, the double bass, hiking solo in the Whites, three-mile days, Snickers, Stevie Wonder, bougee thru hikes, emergency catholes, Thru-r, and the uniquely satisfying experience of accumulating multiple weeks and layers of dirt while hiking. Epic. (This is Part II. Be sure to listen to Part I.)
