Just dropped off Heidi at PenMar after hosting her last night and a good breakfast this morning before her hike. Super sweet and adventurous! It's always great to see women on the trail! Hopefully it inspires more to do this too! Safe travels!!! #appalachiantrailthruhike #appalachiantrailconservancy #appalachiantrail #Appalachian #appalachianmountains #appalachiantrailhostel #appalachiantrailhikers #appalachiantrail2019 #appalachiantrailangels #trailangel #trailangels #sunflowercottage #lifeisgood #womenwhohike #womenwhohiketheat #soolahhoops https://www.instagram.com/p/ByFhJ6HH2Gd/?igshid=u3bhzm3ty524

WIllow, Danger Boy and Amazing came through to stay last night for some time off the trail to resupply, refresh and get back on the Appalachian Trail this morning. Great people coming through and three more staying tonight! Life is busy but full in a good way!

AT hiker Gypsy Queen stayed last night and was super sweet!! She headed back out on her 16 day hike as a section hiker on the #appalachiantrail for 2019. She did the whole trail in 2016 and just loves it so much she hikes parts each year after just to enjoy the hike at her own pace. Happy Hiking!! #appalachiantrailthruhike #appalachiantrailconservancy #Appalachian #appalachianmountains #appalachiantrailhostel #appalachiantrailhikers #appalachiantrail2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwx-MLcB-SS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9z8vx033t7y1

My friend Griffin just told me about Grandma Gatewood this past weekend and then this book comes to me today out of the blue!!! Synchronicity! I never heard of her, even being a Trail Angel, but she had 11 kids, took care of travelers and her family. I had also learned she was abused but of course a kids book can't get into that part for little ones. I need to get a copy...;). #grandmagatewood #appalachiantrail #appalachiantrailconservancy #hiking #athiking #trailangel #hikers #hiker #legends #powerfulwomen #youcandoanything #empoweredwomen #empoweringwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/BohoNTdACKI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n5drmx9kz6pb

It's a flashback to two weeks ago when I made a pit stop in Harpers Ferry! I have been on the AT in four states in the past two weeks... really makes me homesick for those white blazes. . #REIAdventures #REI1440project #OptOutside #AppalachianTrail #AppalachianTrials #whiteblaze #greatsmokymountains #GSMNP #Smokies #hiking #backpacking #hikingguidelife #harpersferry #appalachiantrailconservancy #trektheAT #formerthruhiker #thruhike #hikertrash #hikertrashforlife #highclasshikertrash
