There is a lot of Time to Think on the Trail

An example of how most of my conversations go with my husband when we are hiking long distances. Even the best scenery doesn’t seem to dissuade me from my favorite subject. Existential worry, anyone? 🙂

Amy Bee's Bio

I love backpacking, but it is not something that comes easily to me, which is why I am so enamored. As a person that struggles with a mental illness, it is common to live in my head and be at the whim of my emotional impulses. Backpacking demands I get out there in the physical world; it helps me to be present, to work, to overcome obstacles, and find success on top of mountains. It pushes me to be tenacious and accept emotional transience. Besides, the best places in the world are the ones you have to walk to! I will be thru hiking the PCT in 2016- you can follow along here, and read about past PCT adventures at gottahike dot com.

    Don’t be to concerned with old age. First you have to meet the 3G’s. Good luck, good genes and good medical care. Oh, something else to worry about, there’s pain involved with growing old. Good luck
