Adventure

Austin and I have decided that we need to be a little more adventurous. Starting with the Yellowstone trip, which isn't all THAT exciting, but we want to do more outdoors. We're going camping this summer, and hiking in St. George, and we're going to hike the backside of Timpanogos mountain. And eventually, we want to hike the Appalachian Trail on the East coast. It's a massive trail that goes from Georgia to Maine, and people hike it all in one trip. It is 2000 miles long, and takes 7 months!! People quit their jobs and sell their houses to do the whole thing. We wouldn't be that extreme, but we want to backpack it for a month from southern Virginia, along the Tennessee-North Carolina border, and then down into Georgia. It passes through some of the most incredible scenery in the entire country. And what could be better than spending a month in nature, dirty and exhausted, and sleeping in a tent every night?! I would absolutely love it. Here are some of the beautiful things to see along the Virginia and North Carolina stretch of the trail.













































And that will be me! Just kidding, I'm not blonde...



We won't be able to do it for a couple of years most likely, probably when we move to the East coast. But it will probably take us that long to get prepared for it...=)
