Quinn was born to explore and conquer. She just didn’t realize it until she turned 50! With this thought in mind, she set off along a portion of the Appalachian Trail on the first of many valiant journeys. She didn’t have a desire to hike the entire trail. Her goal was to go out on several solo adventures in different sections, not to hike the nearly 2,200 miles at once.

The spring scenery was nothing short of beautiful, with rolling hills in the distance and lush trees surrounding her. The sun shone down, creating a seismic shift in her mood as she felt a sense of freedom and accomplishment. Despite the rare insipid moments, she found joy in the simple things, like the birds singing and the breeze rustling the leaves.

At the end of the day, she felt rejuvenated and couldn’t wait to see what tomorrow held.
