I’ve wanted to hike the AT since 2001 when I first heard about it. I’ve been planning this hike for almost two years. I have my gear. I have my flights. I have my hike registered with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. I fly out on May 1st and start my hike on May 3rd.

Between now and then I have a list of a mile long of things I need to do! I’m moving out of our family home of 26 years and moving to what is now affectionately known as “The Farm” in Granbury, Texas. It just under 40 acres and when I get back from my adventures, I’m going to have a garden, bees, and plant lots of trees.
