Eight Random Things (for Susan)


1. I've been married 2 times but divorced 3 times.

2. I died when I was 8, one week before Christmas. I had a really bad asthma attack, went cyanotic (turning blue because of lack of oxygen in the blood) and died. Yes I do remember it.

3. I have moved over 30 times.

4. I've hiked most of the Appalachian, Pacific Crest and Continental Divide Trails.

5. My favorite color is gray. But I love all things shiny. I'm absolutely addicted to shiny things.

6. I am afraid of 4 things: spiders, rats, fear and falling in love.

7. When I was 5 I broke my arm by falling off monkey bars. At the time I fell I was running over the top of the bars, "look no hands!".

8. I still do not know what I want to be when I grow up.

    I'm more interested in #4. What was it like? How long were you on each trail? Which did you like best? Who did you go with? What kinds of flora and fauna did you see?

    It was great fun and lots of work. We did the trails in sections so the time was from a couple weeks on the trail to a couple months. They are so very different from each other it's hard to compare. Although the Continental Divide was much more technical and exhausting so I don't think I enjoyed it as much as the other 2. I was too busy watching my boots to make sure my feet kept moving... The scenery on the Pacific Crest is mind-blowing and the Appalachian is sort of like stepping back into time. I hiked with Gary A. Smith, otherwise known as my first husband. And for flora and fauna we saw everything from a few hundred feet above sea level to over 12,000 feet above sea level. Someday I'm going to get the few pictures I have scanned in and I'll post them up :)

    Hmm not sure that the flora fauna comment makes sense after I re-read it. What I was trying to say was that we saw the types of flora and fauna found at those levels and all the levels in between. Salamanders to bobcats, bluebells to lichens.
