What’s Next???
Written by: Emily “Lightning” Ginger Today is our three month anniversary! I never thought I would be able to say that I lived in the woods for three months and walked over 1,000 miles during that time. It’s been such a boost to have hit our halfway milestone, and I am relieved to finally have [...]
