    Snacks

    GU energy gels are good! The caramel ones are good during the summer and the chocolate in the winter. I think I ate around 15-20 of them at the Shawnee Hills Trail Races this year!

    What trail got you interested in hiking?

    Longs Peak is near Denver, Co. The Keyhole route is the easiest way to get to the top of the mountain, which was a great experience!

    I think it's the Adventure Hiking Trail in southern Indiana. I've hiked further in one day on the River to River Trail in Illinois but I haven't hike the whole thing. Yet.

    Wildlife Encounters

    I saw a family of moose on my last trip to Colorado, I'm glad I was in a car! We did get out and pictures though

    Share a favorite trail Pic and where taken.

    This is Camel Rock at Garden of the Gods in Illinois. I like this picture because it took me a long time to figure out how to safely get to this spot.

    First Aid Kit

    I don't carry anything I don't know how to use, so I got tweezers, scissors, tape, wipes, antiseptic ointment and a lot of bandages. Only thing I've ever used was the tweezers, I got a bad splinter under my fingernail at High Knob in the SNF.

    What do you wear hiking?

    Warmer weather I don't hike much but if I do I'm wearing long sleeves and pants same as winter hiking. I wear a jacket in the winter but I always get hot and take it off.

    Aside from hiking...what else do you get into?

    Hoosiers Hidden Hikes kinda got me started caving. I'd always liked caves, and I met a caver in the FB group that helped me get started.

    I like running, biking, and caving! I've hiked a lot in my area, it's nice to change it up.
