  • Trail Dame Kim Weller, first solo

    I love this podcast, Trail Dames, it is fun to listen to. This episode with Kim telling about her first solo hike is fabulous! I think it shows/exudes why Anna H. is doing this podcast. Kim went from ‘maybe I can do this’ to ‘yes! I CAN do this and so can you!’
