Off The Grid Adventures

I have not slept well on the trail. Not camping. Not in a shelter. Not in a hostel. Not EVEN in a hotel.

I have tried all the tricks. No cell phone for an hour before sleep. No caffeine after 4pm. Sleepytime tea before bed (that actually made it worse because I had to p*e in the middle of the night more frequently!). Yoga. Meditation. Prayer. Nothing worked.

Hiking after a poor night’s sleep is challenging. My struggles ranged from being sluggish in the morning to running out of energy before lunch. It’s difficult to hike AFTER lunch anyway but when you haven’t slept well in a week, it is just plain exhausting.

She carved this squirrel with her grandpa — every cut a little memory 🐿️🪵
Now she sits quietly, eyes searching for someone to say, “I see it… it’s beautiful.” 🥺💔

Some pieces carry more than shape — they carry love waiting to be noticed. 🌲❤️

With a heavy heart💔 and tears 😢 in my eyes nothing is more painful than trying to smile and stay positive but after many tests, injections, chemo and radiation the person changes physically and can suffer from sadness. I know a lot of y’all don’t give a crap on this post because cancer hasn’t touched you. You don't know what it's like to have fought the fight, or have a loved one fighting or has cancer. 💛💗
Do me a small favor - I know only a few of you will do it. If you know someone who fought cancer, still fighting cancer or passed, make this your status to support, respect and remember. 💛💗💜💚💛🧡❤️🤎🖤🤍💙

Essential service, relief and recovery effort teams are working diligently to support those affected by Tropical Storm Helene in Carter County. It’s important to respect their work and give them the space needed to continue these essential operations. Now is not the time to go sightseeing or to capture pics/video. Our mountain towns are full of spirit and know how to rally. They'll be here to welcome you when the time is right.
