Likes: a good beer, touching all the plants on trail, and nerd candy

Dislikes: rolling her ankle, when non-trail-family pitches their tents too close, and thigh chafing

Really Good At: carrying enough food for 3x as many days as she needs, hiking without insoles in her shoes, and being excited for anything

Best QOTD: “Fuck this earthly vessel” -Indie on her body

Completed 454.5 miles with us and will be back to complete the trail at some point, that’s for sure! She’s also going to trail magic us at some point. We miss ya!!

Likes: being ‘ultralight’ (we’re not), singing ironic by Alanis Morrisette in weird voices, and getting food all over her clothes in bear country

Dislikes: too many miles in a day, being cold, and downhills

Really Good At: contacting trail angels, blaming all farts on the altitude, having the most tangled earbuds, and being positive

Best QOTD: “Every song on the playlist was good. Then I was like, oh yeah, I made it” -Wildfoot

Likes: his gigantic bottle of sriracha, cowboy camping, putting on a cooking show for fellow hikers, and making his homemade camp sandals

Dislikes: frogs, a lack of urgency, wind, and wearing his homemade camp sandals

Really Good At: cooking gourmet dinners in his pan, getting everyone excited for things, and eating all the food people can’t finish

Best QOTD: “Don’t be a nail, be a hammer” -Joe teaching us how to survive a mosh pit

Likes: listening to Harry Potter on audiobook, taking off her shoes at every opportunity, and eating kind of odd candy

Dislikes: peanut butter for lunch, cowboy camping, how unironic the song ironic by Alanis Morrisette is, and having to wear quasi (the rain poncho)

Really Good At: flossing every night, finding the most level tent spot, cheering everyone up, and going with the flow

Best QOTD: “It’s turning into a lord of the flies situation out here” -Barb when the water cache ran out

Completed the entire desert section (702 miles), then her plantar fasciitis got really angry. She’ll be back to “trail magic the shit out of us”, but we miss her so much!!

Likes: being at high altitudes, waking up early, taking too many photos because the view just keeps getting better, and getting to camp early

Dislikes: snakes, wet socks, and sunscreen that doesn’t rub in

Really Good At: planning on farout app, making sure everyone is hydrated, and getting all of the camp chores done before relaxing

Best QOTD: “It smells like we’re at a frat house” -Me on poodle dog bush smelling like weed
