Day 993: Challenges in the Grand Canyon.

Day 811 Havasupai Halls

There are few places in this world that actually live up to internet hype. This is one of those places. I will write more about the falls soon. For now, here are a few pretty pictures. 

Day 802

I realize I haven’t posted here since the two year mark. It looks like the last post was Izaak’s! I do write here nearly everyday. I open up a tab, type in the count, write, then close the tab. I have 96 drafts. My goal today is to hit publish. I’m still sober and loving…

Day 720

This past weekend I had a moment. A big moment. I turned 47 and celebrated my second birthday sober. Friends, this was a birthday for the record books. I climbed a mountain and I camped alone. Two huge things and let me tell you why. This mountain is the tallest summit in Arizona. It stands…

Day 644

Are you doing this alone? I lost count of how many times I got asked that question. Yes, I’m alone. Yes, I’m hiking 190 miles across a country alone. “You are brave” was almost always their response to my yes. At first I would blow it off. Nah, I’m probably more crazy than brave, but…

Day 638

Today I had time to sit and breathe. To finally absorb everything that has happened over the last twelve days. I have spent twelve days walking. Walking by the Irish Sea, over mountains, by lakes, through bogs, and moors. I learned what words like beck and swale meant which is important when you are told…

Day 614

Day 613

Another weekend, another adventure. This last weekend I went on an all girls two day backpacking trip. We wanted to explore a hike we did a year or two ago in Sedona, so off we went. Let me start with this little fun fact about myself. I don’t love camping. I know I’m not the…

Day 353

This is my first birthday in probably 30 years that I didn’t drink. So what did I do all day yesterday? Moped around, crying, and wasting away my birthday because I wasn’t doing anything fun. I’m 46 and run an adventure business, and I couldn’t figure out anything fun to do? There have been times…

Day 338

We were forced out of our house today so the floor guys could finish up. It’s hard for me to write at night. I’m a morning person with maximum awesomeness peaking at 10am. After that, it’s all over. What does that mean for you, dear reader? Photos from our day. The day started with a…
