I'll take it.

Today I spent an ungodly amount of time, arranging the gear I am bringing and I am excited to show you what items are lucky enough to be joining for me for 2663 miles.
First, however, if you are planning on following my journey, I would encourage you to subscribe to my blog!! This is easy. Simply enter your email in the slot that indicates "Follow by email" located directly below the information about me on the right-hand side of my blog.  Also, as I have mentioned before, I am hoping to raise funds for SheJumps, a non-profit that provides women with community and support to spend time in the outdoors! Make a donation now by clicking here!
For those of you who have decided to donate! I am so grateful. Your efforts are encouraging other women (like me) to experience the outdoors.

I have divided my gear into three photos. The first image is the gear that I plan to carry on my body (outside my pack). The second image are additional clothes and my sleeping bag, and are all the other important (and totally unnecessary items I will bring with me). Despite taking an embarrassing amount of time to figure put these packing tables and images together, I had fun doing it and am excited to show you.
Best,
The Honey Bear

In Eugene it is Spring. So today I leave you with one of two poems titled Spring written by Mary Oliver. Thank-you Callie Thuma for sending this in my direction. Blessings.

Spring

By Mary Oliver

Faith 

is the instructor.

We need no other.

Guess what I am, 

he says in his 

incomparably lovely

young-man voice.

Because I love the world

I think of grass,

I think of leaves 

and the bold sun

I think of the rushes

in the black marshes

just coming back

from under the pure white

and now finally melting

stubs of snow.

Whatever we know or don't know

leads us to say:

Teacher, what do you mean?

But faith is still there, and silent.

Then he who owns

the incomparable voice

suddenly flows upward

and out of the room

and I follow,

obedient and happy.

Of course I am thinking

the Lord was once young

and will never in fact be old.

And who else could this be, who goes off

down the green path, 

carrying his sandals, and singing?
