I have her on FB and also Instagram. She did an unsupported hike on the Arizona trail and finished, I think, 5/24/2024. She overcame a lot of obstacles, as she does. Including falling and cutting her head open. It doesn't show up on the FKT website, but Unsupported, Mexico to Utah, 24 days 1 hour and 12 minutes. If that is accurate, it looks like she knocked some 4 days off the unsupported record.

On February 25th and 26th I did a nice loop in the Smokies from Big Creek Ranger Station parking lot to Deep Gap along the AT south of Mt. Cammerer fire tower. There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow while going up. I stealth camped due to the amount of snow coming in and the next day went down the Big Creek trail. Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
Nestle Nido and Breakfast Essential Based Milkshakes
Nestle Nido is a full fat powdered milk which when combined with water makes a high calorie milk. I add Nestle Carnation Breakfast Essentials to add flavor and additional calories.
