EP7 - Mushrooms and Family

Foraging and eating mushrooms on a bikepacking overnight near Portland, Oregon.
Meet the Knoths. Dawn Rae, Rob, and Max have been bikepacking since before Max was in Kindergarten. They usually spend an entire month of each year bikepacking and sleeping on the ground! Sometimes those nights come in the form of longer trips in places like Baja, other times they are quick weekend overnights like this ride.
The three of them are a tour de force of bikepacking, familial, and general wisdom. On this weekend overnight, next to Mt. Hood, Oregon, the Knoths and Karl spend time swapping stories, foraging for mushrooms, hugging some very old trees, and watching the alpenglow and stars.
