Dirty Girl Hikes

Coming home from a long trail kills my desire to write. I’ve spent many a night illuminated by monitors, headphones on, baffled at the immediacy of the change. The blog has been down for ages, hidden and private. The reasons for this are mixed.

What I’m envisioning for this space going forward has less to do with writing about long trails, and more to do with providing instruction around skills. Especially those useful to beginners. I was asked by some folks in my local running club for this kind of advice; after what was the first backpacking trip for many of them. I’ll see if this a sufficient medium. Offering advice around ultralight backpacking was part of my reputation in Atlanta Outdoor Club, and I enjoyed that thoroughly.

I never became a trip leader because, I hate planning and liability, most especially when they invade my leisure time. I do however, enjoy writing and teaching. I’m stoked to get back to it!

If you have any questions around backpacking or adjacent skills let me know!
