Jester would like to thank her co-hosts, contributors, podcast guests, listeners, and trail community for listening to the show and believing in a podcast that would put the spotlight on section hikers for 149 episodes. Jester has decided to take a well deserved break from the podcast and the weekly production of the show. Don't worry, as you will hear Jester will be back!
