I’m Back!!

I apologize for not posting for a bit.  The shooting season is now up and running full force so I am now getting into my groove for the year.  This wedding season is gonna be a good one!  I have a group of really cool brides this year and I’m excited to work with each of them!

To start off the year, I’m gonna put up this pretty little girl….

Doing something crazy

Have you ever just wanted to do something crazy, something that is just way out there? Something that you have never done before or maybe something that 1 year ago you would have never even considered doing? Well, I am doing just that. I am going on a thru-hike. This is where you start at one end of the trail and you hike all the way through to the other end of the trail. This might not seem like a huge deal because, well, most trails are only for five maybe 10 miles long. But the trail but I am going to to hike is about 281 miles long. It will take about 25 days for me to complete this trail. Or should I say we? For you see, Martin is going with me. Yes that’s right! Martin! The dog I rescued three years ago.

In a little over a week, we are going to set off from the southern terminus of the Sheltowee Trace in Tennessee on a journey that neither of us have ever done before.

So, for the past few weeks, I have been painstakingly measuring and remeasuring every little thing that goes into my pack. And if it seems too heavy, i.e. more than a few grams or ounces, I find a replacement or I will trim off the tags or whatever may not seem necessary for the usefulness of the object in question. As you can see from the photo below, a toothbrush handle really isn’t that necessary in order to use the toothbrush. At least that’s my logic.

So check back in a few weeks and hopefully Martin I will be able to post photos and words for you to enjoy.

To the journey.
