Episode #285 - Daniel Winsor (Beta)

Today's guest, Daniel Winsor, will make you wonder for his sanity, then marvel at his tenacity. He decided that a hike through the Sierras in snow would be a challenge not to be missed, so set himself up for precisely that–in a heavy snow year.

Daniel shares his somewhat shaky preparations with us, then chronicles his journey, making it through about 400 miles of snowy trail.

He wrote a book–named "Crunch"–about his experience and you can check it out at https://amzn.to/2V4l2E3

You can also follow Daniel on his social media accounts at https://www.facebook.com/hikerbeta and https://www.instagram.com/hikerbeta/ or check out his website at http://hikerbeta.com/

Katie made it up Katahdin and to the fabled brown sign. It was every bit as good as it looks here!!
