All Things Hiking

In this blog, I'd like to share my thoughts about hiking. By "hiking," I mean primarily what many folks call "backpacking."

I now have over 3000 Appalachian Trail miles under my belt, or on my feet. This total is a combination of the 1000+ miles I hiked during four months of 2000, the 2174 miles I hiked during eight months of 2007-2008, and the miles hiked during a few dozen shorter trips with friends and Girl Scouts.

On any given day, I may choose to share a story from the trail, or lessons I've learned in teaching backpacking with Girl Scouts, or something I've learned about gear or technique.

Happy trails,
Em
