Introduction
My name is Amanda, I've been hiking and backpacking for about 8 years. I'm an "almost solo" backpacker-- just me and my dog, Beau.
What was your most embarrassing backpacking moment?

Getting on the wrong trail while taking a friend out on his first backpacking trip.

What's the longest backpacking trip you've ever taken? (in mileage and/or days)

5 days, 75 miles. Pigeon River Country State Forest in Michigan, September, 2005

What was your funniest backpacking moment?

Not all that funny, but I have a picture of a "hiker guy" carsonite post that someone decorated with a caption sticker stating "I threw up!"

What was your favorite backpacking experience?

Some trail magic while hiking on the High Country Pathway in 2004 and another set of magic on the North Country Trail in 2007.

Please relate, in general terms, your backpacking experience.

I'd say advanced, but not an expert. I mostly go out solo, and only in fair weather. I'm getting more into cold weather trips, but that's slow coming.

  •  Hi! Welcome to the club! Thanks for signing up. Our first meeting is sheduled for March 24. Click on the calendar for details. We're still in the process of arranging the base camp, so to speak. I loved your website! I have a friend who trains personal assistant dogs. I have a 15-pound personal trainer who used to pull me all the way on six-mile runs. Again welcome. I hope you can come to the first meeting. -ZuperDave
