Whoever thought that we would have to worry about a hurricane striking while we're hiking through New England? Certainly not us, and all the well-meaning folks who warned us about bears, snakes and creepers never said anything about watching out for tropical storms. But a hurricane did strike, the first in over a hundred years to hit this area. We were lucky enough to have a place to stay during the actual storm, and the storm itself was really not impressive. I actually laughed to myself... Continue reading ...
 Those of you who remember Nola before she was Nola are pretty confused by her name change, so here's the story: Initially when we adopted Nola, her name was already Jordan. It was a bit strange to have a pet dog with the same name as my brother, but we didn't think it would cause any conflict because we lived in the Dominican Republic at the time and my brother Jordan lived in Los Angeles. Then Jordan got sick, and people who didn't know my brother's name was Jordan would see my facebook up... Continue reading ...

Right now I am in the public library in Rangeley, Maine where I have already used an hour and a half of my 30 minute time limit on the computer. I wish I could write about all that has happened since the last post but it will have to wait. We are still doing great, please check out our pics on facebook! I do have one quick, funny story to share: We had hiked into Stratton, ME for the afternoon, just to do some laundry and re-supply. As we were trying to get a ride out of town back to the tr...

 Day 1. We drove up to Maine yesterday - left my parents house in Charlotte, NC at 4am and arrived in Millinocket, Maine at 12:30am. This morning we got up bright and early and left for Baxter State Park, leaving our dog Nola in the hotel room (my parents will watch her for us while we hike through BSP which does not allow dogs and they will meet up with us tomorrow so she can join us for the 100 mile wilderness). When we got to he park we found out that we had missed the ranger who would h... Continue reading ...

We finished hiking the Great Smokies National Park portion of the AT recently and experienced hiking for hours in the rain on no sleep, discovered the pain of carrying your "world" on your back, and encountered a black bear (and his B.O. - yuck!). I would love to write more about that experience later but as usual I have left things to the last minute and we are about to walk out the door to hike to where it all REALLY begins... Mt. Katahdin. Check back soon for more updates! Continue reading ...
The Story 
In the fall of 2010 I received word
that my brother, Jordan
Sielaff, had been rushed to the emergency room by his concerned wife.
He had a bleeding sore throat and was in an extreme amount of pain. The
doctors at the ER informed him that there was something very, very
wrong. No one knew just what
it was, but he was not allowed to leave the hospital while they
performed test
after test. I was living in the
Dominican Republic at the time and it felt tortuous to... Continue reading ...
