Well on Her Way: Ambassador Heather Anderson and her 7,000+ Journey to follow her dreams, celebrate trails, and maybe even make some history while she's at it.
How many of us wake up every day and do what we are meant to do? To know what that even is is one thing, to live it is another. Heather Anderson knows she is meant to hike. This passion has led her down many trails… long trails, over and over, and faster than just about anyone. In 2003 she did her first thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail (AT). In 2013 she broke the Fastest Known Time (FKT) for an unsupported thru-hike on the 2,700 mile Pacific Crest Trail, and in 2015 did the same thing on the AT. By the beginning of this year, she had hiked the 3 major National Trails--AT, PCT, and Continental Divide Trail (CDT)—twice.
And she wanted to keep going. In 2017 she fully committed to attempt to hike the 7,000+ mile route known as the Triple Crown: AT, PCT, and the CDT in one calendar year. Only 4 men have ever accomplished the feat: Flyin’ Brian, Squeaky, Cam “Swami” Honan, and Legend. No women, yet…
Not only will her hike be her own personal journey to celebrate, but will also coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the National Trails Act—the first legislature outlining a strategy to create and manage trails in the U.S.
Heather has been forthcoming with insight to her experiences on the trail, preparation, and inspirations through her blog, website, and Instagram page.
I caught Heather in transit to the CDT a couple weeks ago and she was kind enough to answer a few questions I had about her journey thus far…
When did you a) conceive of this idea and b) when did you commit to it?
I first came up with the idea when I heard about "Flyin' Brian" Robinson's first completion of the route when I was only 22. I knew I wanted to do it, but life too me some other routes. I finally committed to it 14 years later in the winter of 2017.
How many miles done and how many to go?
Miles are hard since there are lots of varying route choices on the CDT and I've had to do alternates around fires on the PCT. But, I'm 2/3 done.
Did you meet any resistance with this idea, from life, others, etc?
Not exactly. It's been hard for my partner and I to create a way for my dream to come to fruition while remaining fair to him and his needs, but he's fully supportive. So far we've been successful.
How important is the social media aspect of this endeavor to you/the endeavor? What if it wasn’t there, how would the experience be different?
Social media is something I do because I feel like there's a value to it. I'm an intensely private person, but as a result of my FKTs I realized that there are so many people out there that have been positively impacted and encouraged by my sharing. So I keep doing it. I think the greatest thing in life is to live true to yourself and be a positive force in other people's lives. So, as odd as it is to me, a non social media consumer, to be a social media presence it's worth it. Honestly if everyone stopped following me my experience wouldn't change. I always do what I want for myself. I'd probably just take a few less pictures.
How do you feel?
Tired, but otherwise good.
Biggest surprise of this hike?
Being able to share so much of it with my partner.
When/where do you feel the best out there on the trail?
Sunny days above treeline
Any gear epiphanies along the way?
Not really. I have a pretty good idea of what works for me at this point. I'm still trying different things though, some I like and some I don't. Nothing major though.
Noticed any transformations within yourself so far? How do you differ on this hike vs other long hikes you’ve accomplished?
I've definitely noticed that my preferences on tails have shifted. I am a much bigger fan of remoteness and choosing my own route than I used to be.
Toughest part? Easiest part? Best part?
TBD...
What was the hardest moment so far?
Walking away from my partner.
Your mantra when going gets rough?
You do this because it's fun.
Favorite Huppybar flavor? When to eat?
Definitely love them for breakfast. Apple Cinnamon Raisin. Never gets old.
What does hiking mean to you? Where does the drive in you come from to keep it going?
Hiking is just what I'm meant to do.
How have the trails/users/thru-hiker scene changed since began your first long hike? Any issues there?
There are far more people on the trail these days. I've noticed some LNT issues on the PCT, but aside from that hikers are still hikers.

Okay, in I’m seeing whopping fluctuationsFrom time to time that’s what I’m talking about. Mostly drain kickers/info seekers are visiting leaf two or bots. Extremely ok the padawan has learned. Seeing mad as a hatter amounts of shifts everywhere. I’ve tested keywords in urls, and the SEO effect is miniscule. If Google gave us SOME flaccid, we’d start buying ads again like we did 10 years ago. I hardly ever visit the faulty page of any search effect, whether it be Bing (my preferred search apparatus) or Google. My communal mentions scored A+ so I am not undeviating if the algo square looks at social. It doesn’t procure them anything and they are already a monopoly. I’ll lay you partake of the ubiquitous “See [search term]” carousel ads, image blocks that require multiple clicks to reach your plat and the extremely annoying “Provocative Finds” block which in my recess is alternating with the “Suggested Results” blot out all ALOFT all the organic results. It’s zany in my opinion. Didn’t wise any psych jargon exceptional drops today. Does anyone recall if Gbot crawls more heavily when a marrow update is happening?AI is picking winners here but also if you are on second-best point in behalf of unsophisticated consumer searches what is the movement you are getting and heaps of?

[url=https://general-up.com/San_Diego/context.html]Google contextual advertising[/url]
https://general-up.com/San_Diego/context.html – setting up contextual advertising in San Diegojoined:Oct 29, 2012Dealing with Google as a enterprise is thorny and dealing with Google as a average purchaser is becoming a gigantic pain in the arse as well. In the healthiness recess, you get in touch with so diverse non-germane articles that are entirely generic and puny, but they are ranking based on their territory power and authority. I suppose all we can do is babysit for the alphabet trimonthly profit shot and cramped down our answer from that data. Because as of in the present circumstances, Google is sending NO CONVERTING TRAFFIC. It was a taste frightful hitting the “eradicate” button on approximately 35% of the orientation’s content. Google, as they’ve self-described, is expressing an editiorial opinion, and E-A-T presents some of G’s longterm goals based on their heart opinions. So coincidence? or is it unambiguously that SE no longer mind? or the importance of keywords in URLs was greatly downgraded, making a difference only in really-really competitive areas. I’ve also seen plenty of scraped/rewritten text in featured snippets. whoa182 + send colleague a neighbouring msgTop Contributors Of The Month
