From Glacier to Eureka on the PNT!

There's so much to say and so many experiences I've already had but I will try to narrow down the most important memories! July 6th The intention was to get up really early and go to st Mary's ranger station and get my permits..... that didn't happen. I woke up at 8 showered for one …

Packing and more packing

If you know me at all you know I am not much of a cook and I don't need much variety in my meals on a day-to-day basis in general. So you would think packing food for 3 months wouldn't be so bad then?!?!?! No! It's so much harder! I have been playing around with …

First solo overnight and packing!

So as much time as I've spent outside in my life I had not slept outside alone ever until the other night! I created the route on my computer and then put it on my gps plus I had paper maps and a compass for practice too! Here is a shot of my map reading …

Let’s start from the very beginning

A very good place to start.....most people by now have been asking why I am doing this particular hike or why a long distance hike in general and the best answer I can say is "I just have to do it, it's in my DNA , I was born to do these things" I don't …
