Still, what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled—
to cast aside the weight of facts

and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world.

An AT Tale ~
In the Spring, I was talking to someone about my upcoming Appalachian Trail adventure. They said, "Send home a post card" So I decided to send some cards to special people in my life while on the trail. To make things simple, I addressed and stamped numerous cards, and put about 3 in each of my resupply boxes.

The one box got stolen at Mohican Outdoor Center. I had no idea whose cards were in the box. This was one the disappointments about my box going missing.

In each note I would ask about how the person was doing, how their family was, and describe a small part of my day. Kaylee, my daughter, did a few of my cleaning jobs while I was away. She told me that Rita, a 90 something year old inspiration who still lives in her own home, was so happy to get my card. Rita said, "When I get frustrated with my work (her work is puzzles), I just look at this card from your mom, and I keep going." Wow! I inspired someone to keep trying! I could not remember writing a card to Rita, though. When I came home and went back to work, she showed me the envelope and the card. The envelope was damaged. She said, "I'm surprised it even got here." The envelope was damaged because it was never sealed ~ there was no written message inside the card ~ this card was from the stolen resupply box. Someone put the card in the mail! It was meant for Rita! She has kept this. Just wow!

In a log home inside a beautiful forest, there lived a tiny snowman named Flake. Each night, he watches the moonlight, waiting for the first snowfall so he can come out and play. Today, the air grew crisp, the sky turned to a shimmering silver, and the snow began to swirl! "It's time to play!" Bundle up and remember the simple, childlike joy of winter's embrace.

Do you have a dream of completing the entire Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail but are not interested in backpacking it? I am considering offering a series of guided dayhikes in 2025 to complete the entire trail. Each month, we would cover a section of the trail, ranging from 8 to 15 miles, as a point to point hike (meaning we will start at one location and end at another). My guiding fee will be just $10 per person per hike.
I NEED YOUR INPUT! Would you prefer a prearranged shuttle service at an additional cost or would you rather coordinate your own transportation? Please share your thoughts!
I'm looking forward to exploring the Laurel Highlands with you!
💜, Trail Mama
