We have been on the trail for just over two weeks and the days are already starting to run together. I generally have no idea what day of the week it is and keep track of time by how many days we've been on the trail and how far to our next resupply town (and... Continue Reading →
We were happy to begin our 5th day on the trail with some sun, we had started to crave it! We got a bit of a late start, hitting the trail around noon, so we planned on only hiking about 7 miles. As we reached our planned destination, the campsite was leaving a lot to... Continue Reading →

Since we were planning a February trip, we set our sights on the Southwestern US. I had never been to the Grand Canyon, let... Continue Reading →
Planning the Trip When we were invited to our friend's wedding in Germany, the wheels started turning.
