the curse of the appalachian mountains is real im so freaking sorry

laying on a rock on my bellay cause my back was hurting

i lick the most toxic mushroom in the US (DEATN CAP!) and freaking die and addisyn sends a heart to my spirit 🫰

Highlights from my near death experience(s):
- Cool mountain which required a night hike down
- Stung by 8 yellow jackets and then hiked 8 miles
- Got possessed
- Hiked out early since a hurricane came by
- Hitchhiked to our car before Kate could get hypothermia

I'm back....packing! I'm truly so grateful that I got to spend these last few days with such amazing views and even more amazing people. I don't think I could've picked better hiking partners--you guys made this trip so fun and interesting and memorable and I couldn't have enjoyed myself so much if it wasn't for you guys 🥹🫰

Kate's passion for all things nature inspires me so much. I could only dream of being so knowledgeable and being able to find joy in the small things that surround us every day. I learned so much about mushrooms and bugs and all sorts of things and it made everything so much more immersive. Thank you for leading all of us sweet girl😽

They call me a thought daughter🤔

Shout out to that dude for letting us hitchhike, literal lifesaver. The excavator didn't help much though

we were DRENCHED

The falls were angry at us☹️so sorry for joking about not-deer it wont happen again appalachia

His little face was so cute

Grilled cheese sandwich or rock???

I ate some toxic mushrooms, they were very spicy🌚

first time ever getting stung and they get me on my finger💔at least I didn't get it as bad as Glimmer over here (iykyk) aka Diabeto

my genuine reaction to hearing this is one of the most toxic mushrooms in the US

winded than a ho

I don't have many pictures of views but I have lots of me enjoying them

Chicken of the Woods is so pretty, definitely my favorite mushroom (2nd place goes to Lion's Mane)

having so much fun I forgot my feet were falling off

skinny dipping..😞😿

this fire took like 30 minutes to start and I couldn't help BUT I kept it going for a while💪

Unforgettable sunset

Best trip in the books hands down. We WILL be back

This is Hammond Louisiana btw
