Excuses and Admitting Things

I should explain something. I'm really not that accomplished of an outdoorswoman. Sure, I've had a lot of really wonderful experiences and learned from a lot of really knowledgeable people. But, let's be real. I haven't even hiked part of the PCT, much less all of it. I've skied some lines I'm proud of, but nothing that hasn't been skied before. I've climbed a couple peaks, but I've been surrounded by trustworthy and experienced people while doing so. In fact, I'm just ordinary. What I am proud of is how much I do with the skill set I have...and that's why I'm starting this blog. To help you, readers (I mean you, mom) get after it, even when you don't know what you're doing or who to do it with. A guide to adventuring, because I'm not happy unless I'm doing the same--and I want to share that happy with anyone who is willing to get a little bruised and a lot sore and potentially sunburned in pursuit of happiness. I'll start with sharing some of my adventures this summer.
