Hey folks,
Wanted to stop in and say hello! Hope to be participating much more.
I'm finally going on my first hike in a long while. Life has really been beating the tar out of my family and we have basically just battened down the hatches and weathered the storm. I've really missed my hiking community, but what we've been through has required some "self-care".
I don't mind sharing life details, but also don't want to come across as a whiner. Let's just say that we've been beaten down about every way possible over the last two years. We're fighting hard to come back to the surface, but it's not been easy. It's been almost comical in the amount of trials we've been going through. Our list of what has gone well, is much shorter than what has gone wrong.
All that said, I'm going out on my first hike in a long time. Leaving tomorrow for a few days. It's going to be dumping snow, 50 mph winds, and below zero, most of the time. In other words, I'm really looking forward to it.
I'll post when I get back and hopefully can share some pictures or videos and have a story to tell. I need to get some fresh air in my lungs and feel the wilderness again.
Miss you all!
Darren

Good timing as last week I was when I was posting on here you came to mind and was wondering how things were going for you. You do what you need to do. Looking forward to a trip report!

I pray this hike provides a ramp up and out of life's "ditch".

Nothing like a trip to the woods to rejuvenate. Come back healed and refreshed.
