Up North

Hello Massachusetts!


Mom and I took a flight up north to surprise our AT hikers, and every minute was an adventure. This was my first time flying with my mother; I love any chance to hug my baby-brother; I enjoyed seeing Dad's new mountain-man scruff in person; I got to put more laughs with my south-african brother-in-law in the books; Lastly, could any word describe my excitement to be back with my wildflower sister?! My heart was warmed in every way.
The East TN Tribe gained a slack-packer on this trip as well:) How awesome it was to put in some miles on the AT with them! Amber and I got some incredible miles of trail-runs, we spent 8 miles trekking through a Flash Flood warning, and nature revealed the Creator to me in ways none other can. SO good.
The wilderness. Where answers are found to questions I didn't even know to ask.



“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity...” -John Muir
