Snaphappy

I am Sue (aka Snaphappy), an older hiker meandering along through life and around the world. I have many loves in my life including my family and grandkids, my many years as a Midwife helping women have their babies, traveling to the many unique corners of the world, and rambling around the White Mountains of New Hampshire (where I live) with my favorite camera in tow. I’ve been fortunate to have traveled and hiked in many wonderful places in the world and loved every step along the way. I’m meandering along on the PCT now, so if you happen to find yourself looking into the business end of my camera lens, give a smile and a wave, and point the way north! Please join me on The Trek, and to see more of my life, photos, and past adventures, you can find me at meanderingoldfolks.com.
