    Episode 227 - Listener Spotlight: Scott Ouimet aka Catskill Mountain Brew

    Welcome to episode 227! This week’s episode hands the mic over to a listener favorite: Scott Ouimet, better known as Catskillmountainbrew. Fresh off an Adirondack mission, Scott breaks down a monster effort—16 peaks, 94+ miles, and five days of pushing through terrain that doesn’t exactly hand out participation trophies. We get into the prep, the grind, and the moments that make a long push like that stick with you long after the boots come off. We also touch on a proposed development in the town of Hunter plus a story involving a man, a pair of sunglasses, and a very questionable dive into a toilet vault.

    Episode 226 - The Catskill Aqueduct with Professor Kevin Bone

    Welcome to episode 226! This week, author Kevin Bone joins me to dive into the incredible story and engineering behind the Catskill Aqueduct—one of the greatest infrastructure projects in New York history. More than 100 years after it was built, this underground marvel still delivers over 500 million gallons of water to New York City every day, requiring remarkably few repairs along the way. I also cover a hiker's mushroom-fueled misadventure in Harriman State Park that ended with an arrest, recap the results of the grueling Manitou's Revenge Ultra, and discuss soon to start construction at the Scutt Road parking lot.
