Hello, I will be gone from tomorrow until 8/15. I am hiking the John Muir Trail, a 200-mile trail from Yosemite National Park to Mount Whitney, the tallest point in the lower 48 states of the USA. The trail is 211 miles long and this is a very exciting trip! I will post photos and tell you how it goes when I am back home. Thank you,

Spent a night alone in the woods? It is one of the most liberating experiences! What would you need to feel confident spending a night alone in the backcountry?

The Florida National Scenic Trail stretches roughly 1,500 miles from the southern terminus in Big Cypress National Preserve to the white sand beaches of Gulf Islands National Seashore. It is one of only 11 National Scenic Trails in the United States and the only National Scenic Trail that traverses a subtropical wilderness from swamp to seashore. What adventure is calling your name?

I love New Hampshire and Maine !

It can lead to streaking on the solstice through a neighborhood with people you just met and a crazy Grandma. Just one of the many risks!
