Trail Name: Yeti Legs // I'm 35 living in Colorado with my wife Marie (aka Basecamp). Originally from the deep south, we had our honeymoon in Colorado and realized we need to live here, so we made it happen! We started and completed a continuous thru-hike of the PCT in 2022 despite fires. We were extremely lucky and most certainly realize that. It was truly a wonderful, terrible, beautiful, and completely life-changing experience. Looking forward to sharing all of our travels and experiences with you after the fact and sharing upcoming hikes on the CT (2023) with you! // Follow our socials + YouTube vids: https://linktr.ee/thegingerandthejoy
