There you are again, walking into Santiago de Compostela, having just trekked over read more

What if 1

By Jessica Shouse

What if? What if? What if?  As a mom, wife and female that loves to hike alone, I am often asked, what if something happens? Aren’t you scared? What if you see a bear? (I have, and lived to tell about it). I’ve had people tell me I am crazy & insane. I’ve had people ask, “your husband lets you go alone?” Yes, yes, he does. More on that in a minute. People politely inform me of all that could go wrong. Wrong turns, sprained read more

Man Woman Mountain

By Emily Pennington

“The surest way to mend a broken heart is through a forest wilderness.”
–John Muir

On really confusing evenings of self, I like to drink beer and make up quotations that John Muir definitely did not write. I summon him like my own, personal break-up Yoda the moment a man threatens to rip the sticky, sensitive tissue of my heart to shreds. I need this.
