Fighting spirit

Question if that’s possible. Question what it would be like. Question how I would feel. Question what I would do. Question and explore.   I’ve learned throughout my life that I can’t simply sit down and read a book and understand what being on a ship in the middle of a terrible, terrible hurricane would [...]

Out of the Comfort Zone

Life can disappoint at times in both the big and little things. A couple weeks ago my dreams of starring in a high school musical were thought to be squished. I’ve been singing before I could even talk, its my dream, my passion, my love. It was Friday when my acting teacher announced to the class that [...]

What to wear

One of the reasons why most people don’t like camping is because of a previous trip resulting in misery. For me, I get really ugly when cold, wet, or uncomfortable. I learned how to pack correctly for each outdoor adventure we do. Learning what to wear is one of the most important things that adventurers need to [...]

Me, the snake and a rocket ship

Me and Elijah

A small town farm girl just like in the story books, with the whole deal: braids, overalls, and ratty sneakers that are made mostly out of duck tape, awakes at sun rise. You’d think, just like in the movies, the girl would get up to do her morning chores, but chores are nay for her. [...]

Hiking Alaska: The mouse and weather fiasco

Mountain House bandit strikes again

Gahh the cravings! Don’t yell at me, yell at my stomach. It’s not my fault that I have a tendency to crave Mountain-House meals but ONLY the stroganoff one. Now don’t be telling me you guys don’t get the rubblie-grublies for freeze dried noodles, gravy, and some chunky substance that I think is meat. Weird? [...]
