Summary: Sounds of the Trail is back for the summer thru-hiking season! In this podcast episode we introduce some of our new correspondents who will be attempting thru-hikes of the Appalachian Trail in 2016. We get to hear about their reasons for thru-hiking, some of their hopes, and some of their fears. Is that a random twinge of the the knee or is it…?<br> Next week we’ll be hearing from our Pacific Crest Trail and Continental Divide Trail hikers as they get started. <br> Thanks to Smiley 501, John Malusa, and Jesse Silverman for help with the new intro.<br>
