• So last night I watched a bunch of great videos from fellow hikers and it definitely put the itch back in me seeing as I haven’t been on a real trail since September 2024 while in Banff.

    Sawtooth National Forest as well as Salmon-Challis was some of the most beautiful country I have yet to see in the US (Banff still holds the highest spot for me). It is definitely a do not miss.

    I have yet to do the Tetons and its looking like that may be the September 2026 trip – Bridger-Teton.

    Missed opportunity for Cibola while in New Mexico and driving the mountains doesn’t count for me. lol

    I have found that national forests are way less crowded than the parks and sometimes are even more gorgeous. So, it’s on to a national forest search. Any ideas? Let me know!

    I will not be posting any personal pics. I was a victim of identity theft (as well as bank/debit card fraud). Even my mom’s Facebook was hacked and pictures from my dad’s funeral were stolen. Gross. Who does that? It’s been a nightmare trying to get it removed (even fake accounts in my name and likeness) as the hosting site is in Italy. Oh well, life goes on and I have protections in place at this time.

    Life is about enjoying it, not stressing about it. And hiking the world is a perfect remedy!

  • I recently left a job that I had been with for over five years. It was a job that I loved and would like to continue to do in the future.

    Right now I am enjoying time off to spend with family, get my house in order and enjoy the holidays. However, being a Type A personality, I am bored. I am meant to work and take care of people. Its whats in my soul.

    Ive noticed that this job search has been made a little more challenging after finding a website about me that is 10000000% false. It has stolen pictures from an old Facebook account, pictures of a skiing vacation with a friend, and photos of my dads funeral. Fake social media accounts as well. Who does that? I have also had my bank account hacked and cannot have a debit card to this day. I always wondered why that was, until recently.

    We are currently working with the EU legal team and the owners of the website in Italy, as well as Google. Our next step is an attorney and lawsuits. Its all we can do at this time. It is a very radical website run by some dangerous and violent people. Getting this resolved is number one for me right now.

    In the meantime and order to quell my boredom, I decided to post about hiking all across this wonderful world!

    More to come. May your holidays be happy and healthy!
