Well, 2019 went by quickly!

I had over a dozen speaking engagements, including:

Quiet Adventure Symposium at Michigan State University

Schoolcraft College's "Coffee & Conversations" series
Many libraries and community centers

See my 2020 speaking engagements here or in the sidebar to the right.
I'm honored to be a feature speaker at Lakeside Chautauqua, and re-booked at Schoolcraft College and the Quiet Adventure Symposium.

It was my honor to lead an all-women team of hikers on a Moosewatch Expedition on Isle Royale in May (I'll do this again in 2020).

My 2019 team

And I did a lot of hiking on my own this year, exploring places I know well, 

and some trails new to me.

Trail along the Boardman River

Empire Bluff Trail

Jordan River Valley Trail

I hope you had a wonderful 2019.

Happy trails to you all in 

2020!

May you have many adventures waiting for you in this new decade.
