| Biography: | Crazy ole' lady that just like to hike. I have numerous long distance hikes under my boots. I was very involved with teaching Outdoor skills for the Girl Scout Council in Palm Beach County, FL. Moved over to the FL Trail Association as my children grew. Then while NOT having a midlife crisis I quit my job of 15 years to go stay at a summer camp and teach youth from 7-17 backpacking and canoeing. Other passions are: kayaking, quilting and gardening |
| My Best Hike: | AT |
| Best Hike Description: | This thru-hike ended up taking me 3 summers. The first year I made 900 miles but a sewing needle was lodged in my foot and the pain was too intense. Second year I was going strong after 1000 miles and just headed into the Whites when I passed out and was rushed to the hospital via ambulance. I was diagnosed with West Nile Fever and Lyme disease. Finally the summer of the third year I completed those last 300 miles to complete my journey. I have hike a number of long trails but the AT I believe will always be my favorite. |
