if you haven't seen me over the past year and change, or if you have some knowledge but still had no idea what I was actually doing...this is it...as in my photo map for this journey...I walked all of it, and have the pics to prove it - Google said so 🤷😎

There's too much to pack into one post, one caption, one video, one interview, or an answer to one question...and I intend on sharing it all, but this image hits me the hardest since I can go inside my mind, zoom into any area along this route, and relive it all ✨

347 days, 15 states, ~2,617 miles, elevation gain equivalent to hiking over 14 times, 10* pairs of footwear, average pack weight: 45-50 lbs, one ambulance ride to the hospital for hypothermia, one flipped canoe in the Shenandoah River, countless storms, and innumerable moments that I was unable to capture except in my memories...but we made it...and I say "we" because without the help and assistance from a wide variety of people along the way and in my life, I can't say I'd be sitting here smiling at this image now ☺️
