Completed 137 miles of the AT in 2016!

Woooooot!!!  My 50th year was a wild ride!  As you can see, there are several adventures left to be enjoyed on the list below.  My intention is to complete the current list and add a few more ideas that have come up in the past year.  Let me know if you would like to tag along.  Peace, Love, and Adventure!  --- Olivia
