Brown Gal Trekker:
… For she lives life to the fullest
If you cannot catch up to her when she flies
Then don’t think she’d even shed a single tear
If you tell her goodbye
Don’t date a girl who treks
She will go exploring on her own when her heart so desires …

Wow, I’m so very honored. I have followed your blog and upkeep of this site. I have taken over 20 overseas trekking trips and brought with me avid hikers from the DC area (as I’m an organizer for outdoor groups). I couldn’t have done it without your website. You’re one of my sources of trekking inspiration for the past 10 years of organizing treks. To see my piece be noted here is such a wonderful experience. I have loved your site; hence, this is really very touching to me. Thanks and please continue the wonderful passionate work you do to inspire us all about the treks we ought to be taking in every corner of the world!
Thanks Brown Gal. Lovely to hear the site’s been useful in your adventures.
