Hey World! I'm Amanda - trail name TBD- and I'm setting out on a solo SOBO- thru hike of the Long Trail in 2023. I am originally from Hamilton, ON, sometimes I let my "eh? slip", but live in Michigan with my husband and two dogs. I have hiked Isle Royale and Picture Rocks National Lakeshore twice, many miles on the North Country Trail and last year completed the Superior Hiking Trail in Minnesota. When I am not hiking I am fly fishing, knitting or busy teaching kindergarten! Cheers!!
