Planning Update

Face Book page for the trek, here.
‘Like’ to follow along as we post photos of preparation and eventually, trail!

Gathering gear, selling stuff, planning a ‘Goodbye for a While’ Tour of the US.
A chance to see loved ones, share time and vision, present to communities about the project.
Time, tires, and finances permitting, would like to include my east coast peeps in the drive.

Proposed tour of US- August-September 2015
Proposed tour of US- August-September 2015

This is all dependent on Petri Dish, my 1998 Honda CRV.

Then would have a month back up in my mountains to gather and test the last of gear and throw a Halloween Allyday party.
Allyday party b/c we will be at the bitty bottom of the world through the rest of the holiday season and will be missing you all terribly.

Full steam ahead!

    That’s an ambitious national tour. Are you getting some opportunities to make presentations lined up?

Attending the very first CWW led 'Packraft Soiree' Attending the very first CWW led 'Packraft Soiree' 2023 on the North Fork American River was a blast!

Big gratitude to all the folks and brands out there making it happen!
A few who've buoyed my water dabbling:

A healer told me to go find big rocks. Loved ones A healer told me to go find big rocks. 
Loved ones've been telling me to seek joy. 
I've been craving time in water.

So gathered some rockstars, and in we went.
I am beyond stoked to be speaking at this year's @ I am beyond stoked to be speaking at this year's @aldhawest Gathering! Sharing stories and precepts of Slow Travel, distilled from Her Odyssey and a life abroad. 🌎

Bringing it first to the thru-hiking community who expand horizons and honor markers such as the prestigious Triple Crown Ceremony, will make for a lively community event! You should probably follow their page to keep up as they announce the rich variety of presenters I've been hearing whispers about. 
🤫 📣

Bring laughter, curiosity, and what you've learned from the miles in between.
Can't wait to see you there!

To all the mothers and nurturers; recognized, over To all the mothers and nurturers; recognized, overlooked, and missed,
🌲 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY💐

Words by @drsuzannesimard
#findingthemothertree

". . .  we know Mother Trees can truly nurture their offspring. Douglas firs, it turns out, recognize their kin and distinguish them from other families and different species. They communicate and send carbon, the building block of life, not just to the mycorrhizas of their kin but to other members of the community. To help keep it whole. They appear to relate to their offspring as do mothers passing their best recipes to their daughters. Conveying their life energy, their wisdom, to carry life forward." 

 -From the book 'Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest'

I will always treasure hiking into Machu Picchu with my mom in 2017. 💚
