Wow
I’m so excited. Thank You!
I am so proud of you!
Thank You. I’m hoping we can bring lots more attention to this deadly disease and find a means of prevention and early detection.
Best wishes Mary Beth! It was great meeting you on QR 652 and I look forward to reading about your adventures.
What a pleasure it was to find my cloned sister on a flight from Doha to Kathmandu. Same hyperlite pack, same sea to summit daypack, same shoes and an apple eater to boot. Looking forward to hiking with you in Seattle.
Very stylish outfit. As an old Coast Guard retiree, I love International Orange! Best of luck MB; like all your friends in AK, we’ll be pulling for you and following the reports closely.
I’m hoping I won’t need the benefits of that International Orange! I want to keep my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds.
Amazing photos already!!!! Enjoy every minute of this adventure! 🙏❤️🙏
I think hiking makes it easier to live in the moment and enjoy life.
