Reflections on a Not Quite Thru
Every day I find myself thinking about our time on the AT, slowly realizing how it has changed me and my views of the world.
Re-Entry
While our hike is over, the memories and feelings from special moments along it I will remember for the rest of my life.
Prepping for the AT
Once a project manager for processing each Space Shuttle after it returned to earth, John prefers to leave logistics for our hike to me.
Walking into Love
Having met while hiking around Lake Okeechobee this fall, we fell in love and decided to take on this shared dream of hiking the AT together.
Bearfence Mountain
Bearfence Mountain was the first challenge I met while hiking the Appalachian Trail. I hung this photo up at work to keep my dream of thru-hiking the AT alive.
Pine Grove Reflections
Pine Grove Furnace State Park south of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is notable for being the mid-point of the Appalachian Trail. In the heart of winter, it gets icy.
Gateway to Gathland
At Gathland State Park in Maryland, this smaller stone arch is almost forgotten with the heavy significance of the War Correspondents Memorial arch nearby.
