Idaho

I’m a big Josh Ritter fan. Huge. 13 live shows and counting. Vacations are routinely planned around his shows. Although, my friend Patty might have me beat. She moved to Idaho. Running IMTUF 100 a couple of years in a row didn't really have anything to do with Josh - he’s from Moscow, several hours north of Burgdorf Hot Springs. But I feel it’s important to get that out there. And hey, maybe some of his inspiration for songwriting was gained from the beautiful, rugged landscape we ran through. If nothing else, his passion on stage and his obvious gratitude for getting to do what he loves every day, it resonates with me on the trails. How incredibly lucky we are to be playing in these wild lands.
