I always hated the blog posts and Youtube channels that started with something like, "sorry that I haven't posted recently, I have had so much going on and neglected the blog or channel." So here I am, after not posting in several months, and I am not going to apologize for not posting, because I … Continue reading Lets Play Catch Up
A life Worth Living and Key West
Alright, so I left you off with Jolynn and I leaving New Orleans and promising ourselves we would travel more while we rebuild ourselves from our recent heart-breaks. We talked a lot about happiness, and our loneliness; and decided, very quickly, that we would fill our time with new experiences rather than things. I promised … Continue reading A life Worth Living and Key West
New Orleans or should I say N’Awlins? (Part Two)
So where did I leave you all? Oh yes, I believe I was panicking about losing almost all of my money at a strip club on Bourbon Street.

Emotional Turmoil
WOW!! Let us talk about a turbulent few weeks and a roller coaster ride of emotions! The idea of this hike only held on by a few strands, and admittedly, I was hours from calling it quits, and canceling the entire journey. Now, just a bit of a disclaimer, I am going to start out … Continue reading Emotional Turmoil
Final Countdown
"It's not just a lighter pack that eases the load after all. It's knowing there are people that don't think walking in the woods is crazy." ** Isn't it crazy how quickly life flies by? How quickly everything we are looking for ends up on top of us; before we even know what is happening? … Continue reading Final Countdown
Excitement vs. Stresses
Hey guys! So this is going to be a shorter post to just catch up on where I am now, and my feelings on the up coming hike! Over the last several months I have been able to control my excitement about the AT, actually I 'HAD TO' control my excitement in order to survive … Continue reading Excitement vs. Stresses
Present
So now that I have decided to entertain the thought of a thru hike, the first step for me is to gather as much information as possible about what this endeavor would entail. I found myself watching Youtube videos everyday about the Appalachian Trail, and realized that the biggest concern and road block for me … Continue reading Present
