Episode 204 - A Nearly Impossible Recovery with Author Jo Giese

Welcome to Episode 204 of Inside The Line: The Catskill Mountains Podcast! This week, Tad and I chat with award winning journalist and hiker Jo Giese. We chat about Jo’s upcoming book “You’ll Never Walk Alone: A Hiker’s Memoir of Adventure, Tragedy and Defying the Odds” which talks about overcoming a medical miracle and recovering back into hiking. We also chat about a dog rescue on Devils Path, a relocation of a lean to and the 5 year anniversary of the closure of Doubletop and Graham.
