|  Hello from Judy Ann!
Greetings from the Carolinas...mountains to mosquitos!
I took up hiking the AT and car camping last July on a lark and have not looked back since. As a lone woman camping in state parks with her high maintenance dog (Bichon Frise) I usually don't have much interaction with fellow campers until pulling up stakes. I've noticed that single women camping on their own are a rarity, a product of relationships with outdoorsmen of a singular independent nature who stopped for a while to share their love of their outdoor hobbies with another that "might be the one."
Not a stranger to the outdoors, I grew up in the Alleghany Mountains, learned to swim in rivers, ran and rode horses on the mountain trails in Squaw Valley and Lake Tahoe, skied Heavenly Valley and other resorts across the Rockies, hiked Mt. Tam, fished Oregon lakes, and towed a boat to Steinhatchee and Marathon for Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic fishing adventures. Circumstances change and I am currently flying solo along the east coast.
Interests include land conservation, clean energy, health care, photography, camping, fishing, and hiking. Thank you to everyone on this site that share their wisdom, experiences, mistakes, internet sites, insights into themselves and humor. Long winter months spent indoors dreaming of next years adventures have been inspired by your entries over the last few months. Thank you!!!
