Experience life with us!
We have received a huge outpouring of love and support over the months as people hike vicariously through us. We have absolutely fallen in love hearing the stories of those we have inspired or who are watching us discover life in ways others may not be able to do. In this outpouring of love and encouragement we have also been encouraged to enable others to support us in tangible ways so that we can continue our explorations and giving the world a way to see the wild through the eyes of kids of every age. One of our greatest desires is to continue inspiring other individuals and families that, if a single mom with 15 kids in tow can do this, so can you!

Who We Are.
know.
We have two passions in life…family and hiking. Ok….we might have some serious love going for kayaking, biking, exploring, and pretty much all the life that lives beyond our front door.
OUR STORY
I'm a single mom to 15 kids ranging in age from 26-5. All biological and all from one past marriage. And yep, I know what causes it. My kids and I are a tight knit crew. After 20 years of being a public safety family and unprecedented hardship, 5 years ago the kids and I found ourselves the victims of domestic abuse as a result of career induced PTSD.
In 2023 our journey of healing from secondary PTSD eventually led us to hiking 2,198.4 miles from Georgia to Maine, inadvertently earning us the title of the largest family in history to thru hike the Appalachian Trail.
​
While life may not look like the AT these days, our passion for adventure, thru hiking, mental health, our family relationships and backpacking remains. Our adventures are far from over. . and, in fact, have only begun! Join us as we continue to hike, bike, kayak, travel and explore the world while living life as unconventionally as only 16 people could!
