My First Blog Post

WordPress says I should start with a quote. I guess -insert your favorite John Muir quote here- if you want.

Here’s my best hiking advice…take care of your feet, hydrate, be prepared, All Trails is your friend, safety first, and for the love of all that is holy LEAVE NO TRACE!

Of course, on the trails and in life, HYOH

I have always loved being outside. I spent the Summer days of my childhood in the woods. Our family vacations were mostly driving out to a lake and pitching a tent. As an adult, I try to get out on a trail as often as possible. There’s no better stress relief than taking a walk among the trees, sitting next to a river, looking out from the top of a bluff, and listening to the birds and squirrels.

I have a big Hiker’s Bucket List. I want to hike in all 50 states (5 down, 45 to go!), I want to hike El Camino, summit a few of those 14ers, and maybe complete the Triple Crown. For now, I’m walking around the Midwest. It’s not flat, btw.

I’m always looking for a new adventure and trying to get my base weight down. Feel free to comment with any suggestions.
