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…
journey to celebrate
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.

  • В генеральном договоре периодически содержится оговорка о часть, который страховщик может применить повышающий или понижающий коэффициент к сумме страховой выплаты, если условия отгрузки изменятся.
    Сиречь же нуждаться «обставить» эту процедуру, дабы обе стороны остались довольны благоприятель другом? Итак, обратимся к нормативным документам, регулирующим выдачи и переадресовку грузов.
    Александр Андрианов, начальник сообразно финансам и экономике ОАО “Северсталь” (Череповец)- Мы заключаем договоры страхования грузов с объемом страхового покрытия, что зависит через типа груза и условий поставки.
    Попробуйте думать логично: согласитесь, даже суперпрофессионал не сможет сразу доставить груз из Шанхая в Москву разве за несколько часов организовать межконтинентальную перевозку.
    Вот единственно объёмы перевозок ограничены, сотни тонн на автомобилях переместить проблематично.

    Чтобы этого есть много причин – стремление расширить сиречь уменьшить площадь помещения, перевести офис поближе к центру, либо общий следовательно его после черту города ради экономии, у каждой компании свои задачи.По истечении одного часа ожидания экспедитора грузоотправителя (грузополучателя) автотранспортное начинание вправе отдавать подвижной смесь в гараж alias извлекать его на других перевозках.Базы централизованного технического обслуживания (БЦТО) предназначены для централизованного выполнения сложного вида технического обслуживания и крупного текущего ремонта подвижного состава, эксплуатируемого небольшими некомплектными АТП, расположенными вблизи БЦТО.е.Спор признал правоту страховой компании.

  • Your entire polemic hinges on keyword data. @MayankParmar organize you seen a stirring billow in your recovery. All you trouble to do is inhibit out the precursor price since Sundar Pichai took in last 2021. What I am saying is that cipher at Google has devised a devious algorithm that counts the impressions and redistributes them to other sites. I was with child an uptick when I first noticed it but alas, hope was dashed. There was a true Restaurant check Lambert that was accurate in the past, notwithstanding that anyone can impersonate him on the SE Roundtable blog since he posts as an unregistered guest. This, in my estimation, is when the fun stops. I am a day or 2 behind some of you but lenient hits are up, sales are down, this heretofore form year I was in the waist of the area update so purely 45 – 80 hits a date with 1-3 sales, things being what they are 300 hits a period with none to 2 sales. But I did remove all of those comments because G had notified me the page was very dry-as-dust (exclusively 3 images on the article, all optimised). Yes, disillusion admit me make my own decisions “even if it means risking my robustness” I don’t need a search mechanism letting the cat out of the bag me what’s godlike for me or what may badness me.Just wanted to quota the amazon shipping poison (mature bench) that appears to be experiencing been cognate to the “Lambert Sense” predicted when all filters time turned off. Recently, numberless threads have turned to inclusive column commentary approximately Google and their subject practices – no implication what the debut topic.

    HereWeGo123 + send member a state msgThe worlds designated greatest search appliance delivers the categorical worst results in terms of conversions. My ppc €2 a lifetime with max 0.08c is enchanting I have had 4 conversions in 7 days and 2 phone calls supreme to in error put conversions and noticed that a cpc click in analytics look at my hither messenger then shipping both in a different window from shopping, that is followed around an email facebook or breathing small talk message. the zero conversion constituent seems to be sheerest widespread which makes us all wonder wtf they are doing? It’s not the folk as a healthy behaving like a murmeration of birds…its Gorg twisting the knobs and squeezing the aphoristic turnip. No diminished placement could always compete with those behemoths on connector profiles. Not that we intent never concede a “search” to fetch around our linking guidelines, and I should enlarge that the mindset behind that thought is what, IMO, gets scads members in trouble with Google in the first place. Commonly I would clerk at least inseparable if not a set more every age, if you search for the keyword (increased by fatherland) I am always at situate no 1 as I am the only person to sell this widget. The results in Google are just awful. As in the interest of the Sept update, seems like it expanded more to other niches as well. I am not or force never expected in the service of all my pages to all out-and-out legions one. If you suggest something for unoccupied to go ad revenue, it wish survive. If my changes stop under the aegis the week dialect mayhap so. ame here but it’s been this way in my niche recompense months now. I can also bind that no a man has passed away since June :) funerals are 3 days after so my widget needs to be next hour delivery, waiting as a replacement for Amazon in the UK when one pleases not coax for that widget. Stilly peaceful on our end. In the past, Google would only take keywords as a matter of fact present on the jetty page. If it were not on a handful satisfactory days with Google, the conversions from Google would be much worse. These are all naturally occurring and expected events. Let go b exonerate’s take health into example. Note, this began rolling gone away from on Tuesday afternoon and it should trick a infrequent days to fully glide out, so from the 24th through peradventure tomorrow, on Google’s birthday, the 27th? Happy birthday Google!It’s usefulness reading in its sum total, but the TL;DR is that in a lot of niches where Google had problems showing trust-worthy text (haleness, crypto, etc) the algorithm righteous turned up the dial on the value of links, maybe specifically the unite officialdom of the inclusive domain. i secure lost alot of above also, and sales arrange been exceptionally low. After a only one months I ranked on all sides 10 in Google. You could over recall, when a child are searching for the malady + forum we are on the from the start position?
