Just got back from a 4-day backpacking trip in the Smokies and could not have asked for a better hiking buddy @jamiodrgn who said it best...we are strong, fearless, independent women! Can't believe we did it all... through the bears, the bugs, the bees and the storms, the Appalachian Trail and the other slick, wet, and narrow trails up to 5700 ft elevation and back down. We SURVIVED and every mile was worth it. Now that I'm back, I feel a stranger to this loud, loud world and can't wait for the next adventure!
