Thanks!

There are so many thanks that I have to give out.  I know I'm going to miss some but you have not gone unnoticed and I am so grateful for everyone's support!

There are a few that have made a big impact on my trip. First off I have to thank my mom for supporting me from the start. She will be handling all of my resupply packages which is a lot of work! Jacob Carrillo, my main man, has pushed me to get the meals done on time, helped put food into the dehydrators, and has just been by my side through my whole preparation process. Carrissa Trapp for preparing two months of resupply packages for the sections she will be on trail with me, and for agreeing to drive me to my Damien Rice concert (I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!). My Uncle Alan, for agreeing to drive me all the way down to the start of the trail and planning the most amazing pre-trip trip ever. And Elise Loura for housing me in Boulder, Colorado for over a week. 

Laura Martinez, Susan Osborn, Heather Jordan, Stephanie Van Arnam, Jane and Fritz Loura,  and Carly Higginbotham. Thank you so much for taking such a extreme passion for my adventure. You have all fueled my passion and drive for attempting the trail. I really hope you will stay in touch and keep giving me positive reinforcement! Ether by mail, email, or on here!

Lastly, everyone else in my life or on this blog. Your interest and support is undoubtedly the coolest thing ever. I have this blog here to inspire people to get out and enjoy our world. So please keep supporting me, going outside, and respecting the world we live in!
(If you do go outside, leave it better than you found it)

First day in Boulder Colorado

Last night I left Tacoma for my trip! Today was my first day in Boulder, Colorado and it was amazing. The sun was out all day and it was almost 80 degrees! I spent most of the day in a hammock, but my good friend Elise took me out for a birthday dinner! Thanks Elise!

 

Match 26th 3 more days

What a beautiful day! To bad I'm stuck in my kitchen prepping! Haha
Today's menu, chili while packaging some risotto and ramen!

Mobile update!

Today in the a.m. im making "unstuffed peppers" with pepers onions tomato sauce and rice! Here's some before and after dehydrator pictures!

Update!

I know my blog has been dead, but I have still be working away at dehydrating meals! I also updated the Itinerary to include addresses to the PO that I will be picking up packages to! Besides that just slaving away in the kitchen and getting excited! 5 more days!
Thanks for following me everybody!

Making mush

Dehydrating has turned into a full time job! Today I am at 55 meals and the process is very monotonous. Cutting the onions has to be the worst part, but the pile of food is very exciting! 23 more days!

Meal Making

I've started my dehydrating frenzy this week. It's really weird thinking I will be on trail in just over a month! Anyways, my dehydrator will be running non-stop in between now and whenever I'm done, or its time to get on the plain! Making Mush isn't fun!
