If I can offer you a piece of advice….go for a hike! Or call it a walk if you’re not out doorsy. Seriously people you should get out here. I know everyone can’t take off and hike the PCT, but maybe a section or a day hike. Hiking is trans-formative and just freaking good for your mind body and soul. Who says, me.
3 1/2 months I’ve been out here strolling through the woods. Pretty much playing it by ear, because all plans go out the window when you hit the trail. It’s all a surprise, around every corner, everyday. All I really know is I’m getting up and walkin…10, 25, 30 miles.
But at the end of the day I will be tired with memories that will last a lifetime. So go head get out there and make so memories, you know you wanna. Don’t forget your camera!

I know I know I know! Here in Iowa I have to be content with wanders in the woods but my heart sings when I’m hiking in the mountains. I am so jealous and in awe of your journey Elsye!
