Tennessee Trail Magic

Tennessee Salmon

A lot of food from Tennessee club, bold hills, very noisy (bad noise, not fun) hikers hostel in Hot Springs, that helped me to make a choice: you need to stop hanging with crowds too much otherwise you would never see Katahdin.

It definitely was time to increase my daily mileage and speed up towards Maine. My feet were ready. Yes, I started the trail with damaged feet. They were healing day by day! Of course, I bandaged them every morning. I stretched my heels every night in the tent.

My regrets: I did not stay overnight with the Tennessee club. They cooked salmon! Nail in my brain for the rest of my life. Eating tons of salmon after doesn’t help.

From journalism and car racing in Russia to teaching at the University in South Africa, where she won Alliance de France and the British Consulate international photo contests, she switched paths: earned a silver medal at the 2011 World Masters Athletics USA, hiked the 2,081-mile Appalachian Trail, navigated the Amazon from Peru to Brazil, biked Route 66 from Chicago to LA, from London to Orkney, and from Canada to Key West, and launched an art project at Midcoast Maine. During lockdown drove to Olympic Valley Palisades Tahoe where became a ski and swim instructor, then… well, enough for now.
