7/23/20 - Brian and Allison Ristola (aka Beardoh and SweatPea) are long distance thru hikers who have spent a lifetime walking through the mountains and deserts of America. They have hiked the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, John Muir Trail, Arizona Trail, Colorado Trail, and Great Divide Trail, to name a few. We talk Trail Magic, Trail and River Angles, The Billy Goat of the PCT, the kindness of strangers, the framework and lifestyle that allows them to live a life of full time Thru Hiking, Nearly capsizing a canoe in the Port of St. Louis, those painful but often comical moments on trail when "it can't get worse than this" and so much more.
