The cast has decided to put this podcast on hiatus for the time being. We thank you for everything, and we hope you found the episodes enlightening and educational. We may, at some point, decide to revive this podcast, but for now, we strike out on our own adventures in life as we travel to new and wonderous places. Always keep your heads up, your wits about you, and remember: You are never alone on the traveling road. See you on the trails. Gina, Carol, and Amy.
