not all who wander
are lost
Hiking isn’t for everyone.
Notice the wilderness is mostly empty.

About Me
My name is Mandy, but I go by my trail name Mega Chill. These are my two hiking partners, Rogue(Hungarian Vizsla) and Ruby(Treeing Walker Coonhound).
Before 2019 I had never heard of thru hiking, and didn’t know there were walking trails that were over 2,000+ miles long. After I did my first through hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2019, pre Covid and before I had any dogs. I am now obsessed and am planning on doing them all.

and to have me senses
