E63 | PCT | Week 20 | Mozzies, Crater Lake, Devil Fish & a Songbird | Lake of the Woods to Shelter Cover

Episode Summary: Today’s episode of YWIB is brought to you by…mosquitos…lots and lot of em’. But seriously this week 20 on the PCT was an annoying, nagging stretch filled with the little bloodsuckers. But there’s always a silver lining, and that silver lining was all the resort hopping we were doing, the epic views from the lip of Crater Lake, and the fact that we met both Devil Fish, and who’d become a life friend, Songbird. The week ends with our setup for a 24-hr challenge. Lastly, we wrap up with an environmental corner focusing on some weird stuff happening on the Pacific Coast of the United States. What’s happening to the wildlife, and why is it happening? Listen in to find out more.
