I got to test the KÜHL Trekr Pants out on a recent hike that involved finding cave entrances to a cave system right in the middle of a subdivision (look for my hiking report of that on my blog). It also features UPF 50 protection, 2 snap back pockets, 2 regular front pockets, 2 zip thigh pockets, internal waist drawcord, and includes a side seam cinch within the thigh pockets which allows you to cinch up the legs to a 27″ capri. In regular pants I wear a 36″ inseam but found that 34″ inseam in hiking pants is the perfect length as I do not need them to hit the ground like my boot jeans (yes, I wear boots and jeans on almost a daily basis). I love the fact that it offers UPF 50 protection and is quick-drying because mud and water always love to find me on the trail.
We parked at the Two Bridges Trailhead and made our way to the River Trailhead via Two Bridges Trail where we took the River Trail to the Dragonfly trail. We hiked to the Dragonfly Trailhead then retraced our steps back to where the Cliffhanger Trail and Two Bridges Trail meet. Instead of heading back to the Two Bridges Trailhead, we turned right and hiked the Cliffhanger Trail to the Cliffhanger Trailhead where we called Jerry who had hiked back to the Two Bridges Trailhead to retrieve the truck. Parking is available at the Cliffhanger Trailhead, Two Bridges Trailhead, and the Cottonwoods Kings Trailhead (which is also ADA accessible).
If you have followed me for any amount of time, you know that I always have a pen and small notepad with me at all times, even (and especially) when I do longer hikes; in fact, I had one on the Appalachian Trail. Pokka Pens sent me a pack of Rite in the Rain Pens, the 5 Variety pack, Silver Pokka Jakket, Pokka Klip, Pokka Dokk, and a pack of MicroNotes. They have so many different “jakket” options (like muddy girl camo or the Thin Red Line), that it’s easy to find a pen to match your personality. Other than those two suggestions, this pen is a perfect pen for backpacking!
So after reviewing the Nomadik Subscription Box a while back and being disappointed, I was hesitant to spend my own money on the Cairn Subscription Box, but I took the plunge. Types of Items: You typically receive 3 items from the following categories (so far in each box, at least one item has been from the Food & Energy category) : I have found several items that will come in handy for upcoming camping trips and even items for my husband when he goes on FEMA missions, that I otherwise would have not known or thought about. Another dislike of the Cairn Subscription Box is that one of the 3 items always sent is some type of food or consumable item.
Went to visit Ms. Pearl and grab some pecans and a pecan pie :) sorry about being MIA on social media, lots of stuff going on and coming up, look for a new blog post update soon!

So we are about to kick off our 2020 light show (this is what I do when not hiking lol). Decided to do a pixel mega tree. Jerry did a great job with it but man it was a pain to put up. Hopefully next year he won’t fall off the roof because trying to put up all the lights outside and inside is pretty daunting. Thankfully my youngest son was here to help. We still have a lot to do by Dec 1st (when the show starts) but we are getting there! #christmas2020 #megatree #lightshow #christmaslights #ending2020withabang #needtohikesoon #christmaslightsdisplay #christmaslightstomusic #carlsonlightdisplay

It's been a while since I have done a 30-day road trip. Good news! A new adventure will happen next month. It won't be 30 days (only 9) but I will have a lot to share (hopefully in real time). Every Friday, I will post a hint and let y'all guess the location of my adventure! I have already posted 2 to my family, so I will post those here as well: Hint #1: is the picture above👆🏻(disclaimer: not mine, got it from their Facebook Page). We will be car camping ⛺️ here for 6 nights, using it as our basecamp as we hike and explore. Hint #2: There's a prairie dog town located here Hint #3: We will need our bikes as we travel down a rail to trail exploring an old railroad tunnel. Let me hear your guesses! Comment below! Your final hint will come on November 6th! . #explore #hiking #backpacking #adventuretime #camping #getoutside #getoutdoors #railtotrail
Today is the day I hike for them. The ones that come home from wars with invisible wounds. #sponsored I’m hiking the Wounded Warrior Project Carry Forward 5K virtually as part of the San Antonio race to honor the men and women who often carry a burden most of us will never understand. @wwpcarryforward . I’m out here hiking with my full pack to represent the weight our veterans carry on a daily basis. To read more about who #ICarryFor today, see my blog post (link in bio). There is still time to join the virtual race. You can do so here (use Promo Code ICARRY5 for $5 off registration): http://bit.ly/joinwwpvirtual #WWPCarryForward Who will you carry for? UPDATE: I was hoping this would post before my hike, but unfortunately there was no cell service. A little over 8 miles hiked today to honor them. This post is made possible with support from Wounded Warrior Project.

How do you celebrate your birthday during a pandemic? Drive to the very center of Texas of course! Well as close as we could get (the center is located on private property). Happy 41st to me haha! I should have been celebrating on the Appalachian Trail, but the universe had other plans I guess. . #texastodo #centeroftexas #travelgram #birthdaygirl #texasbackroads #backroads #texas #odditiesandcuriosities #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction
