After more than two thousand miles on the [Appalachian] trail, you can expect to undergo some personality changes. A heightened affinity for nature infiltrates your life. Greater inner peace. Enhanced self esteem. A quiet confidence that if I could do that, I can do and should do whatever I really want to do. More appreciation for what you have and less desire to acquire what you don’t. A childlike zest for living life to the fullest. A refusal to be embarrassed about having fun. A renewed faith in the essential goodness of humankind. And a determination to repay others for the many kindnesses you have received • • • • • #masshole #14ers #backpacker #natureonly #pnwcollective #outdoor #animal #birthdaypresent #backpacking #mountainclimbing #camper #woodgrain #pnwstuff #adventure #deutschland #photo #exploretocreate #buffalorivertrail #trekking #trilheirasdobrasil #hiker #backcountrycamping #travelphotography #igtravel #rei1440project #sierras #mountcook #summer #pattern #nakedplanet

Looking northeast from Peak 5,346 down into Devil’s Gulch with Iron Mountain (8,006ft) on the right and Pine Mountain Ridge directly ahead followed by Blue Ridge behind it. There is a seldom told story about the place I’m standing when I took this picture and the gulch down below. It is the story of three local miners back in the late 1890’s who after a long week of working in the nearby Stanley-Miller mine decided to head up and explore the gulch for mining opportunities. It is said that after a full day of exploring they decided to head back just as the sun was setting quickly. As they descended down the gulch they heard rocks falling down the side of the gulch. At first they thought it might be a mountain lion, or a bear, but they mostly hoped it was Bighorn sheep. They continued to descend when all of them simultaneously began to feel a deep cold chill and began to smell sulphur in the air and they heard a terrible shriek from above the gulch. It wasn’t human, they thought. By this time there was very little sunlight left but they finally made up a figure above the gulch. It wasn’t fully formed however. The position of the light made it impossible for them to make out who it was but they could see a silhouette of what looked like a very tall man. Perhaps almost as tall as seven feet. But something was off-it didn’t appear to be fully human. At this point the smell of sulphur was becoming unbearable. But they could not look away. Then each of them turned to look at the other and could not believe what they were seeing within what the silhouette allow them to see. They could make out a few very specific features. The torso look human but the legs looked distorted as if they were of a horse or a goat and the head had horns. Soon after the creature let another terrible scream/shriek and the men began running down the gulch not once looking back. They were terrified and after they descended they kept going back and out of the mountains towards the city. They never visited the mountains again. It is said that each one, right up until they laid on their deathbeds, was convinced they saw the devil up on that gulch that day. Hence the name.

I’ve lost close to 40lbs since that picture was taken 3 years ago. I had just gotten off the AT for a week long trip and looked at this picture and had no idea how I got there. I don’t do any cardio and my diet hasn’t changed drastically, I still eat pretty shitty sometimes but sometimes it’s more about handling that craving than it is staying on your diet. I started lifting heavy weights, doing a full body workout 3 times a week, and started eating MORE because @mjschindler realized that my metabolism was running extremely slow(efficient) from trying to diet all these years. I struggled with ‘adrenal fatigue’ and still do along with autoimmune. I still have a long way to go with cleaning up my diet and progressing my workouts. You don’t have to run 100miles a loses weight! Lift heavy, work on mobility correcting your imbalances, feed your body whole food and it will respond! #fitnessmotivation #fitnessgoals #liftheavyoftenasineveryday #playoutside #personaltrainer #neverending #selfcare #sheadventures #rei1440project #forceofnature

This is the view coming out of Hauser Creek. So far one of my least favorite parts of the trip. Not because it wasn't beautiful but because I had decided to leave the shade at the bottom of the valley in the middle of the day. When I had arrived at Hauser Creek I stopped to have a snack and quickly realized that my Nutella supply had exploded and gotten over all of my food. I didn't want to deal with getting Nutella over all of my gear so I made the extra miles into Lake Morena. It was probably just the exhaustion of that first day but that climb was and still is the hardest part of the trip for me. Half way up the climb I sat down on a boulder and from a few feet behind me I heard unmistakable hiss and rattle of a rattlesnake. That was all motivation I needed to make it all the way out of valley.
