Well hiking in the Hiker Bubble is hard finding room in the hiker hostels and shuttles to and from the trail. Everybody is full and busy. This stretch mentally I have been having some good days over bad days but still have some rough times. With few days out from Dicks Creek Gap I hit one of the first big […]
I know this is long over due, but here it is. Started of with a short stroll through the woods to gear up for the monster of the day for the next day. Blood Mountain! There is a small section of the trail where you need a bear canister if you camp in that 7 mile stretch. I had camped […]
First of all elevation gain on a steep incline is no joke. It is brutal even so in the rain. The Approach Trail (8.8 miles) has 1,982 feet of elevation gain period. There is few spots where it drops somewhere 5-20 feet but gain that and plus some back and finish the day with 62 foot decent down to the […]

And missing some of my nieces and nephews because they are so interested in what their Aunt Wheezy […]
When comes to facts or random facts I have a small nack for them, well more of a history nut. Did you know out of 3,000 Thru-Hike attempts only 20% successfully make it to the end? Out of the 20% that finish only 25% of that is woman. It takes 5,000,000 steps. Yup, you read that right, that is 5 […]
The first update is in the Welcome Blog. Inspite of waiting till the last minute to start dehydrating food for the trip. I’m going to miss my family, my man, friends more than I know. Especially my man and Mama’s cooking. Just starting to dehydrating this past week and realized that I should have started figuring this all out and […]
