I’m Meg—mother, sister, writer, adventurer. Healing through hiking. Follow my adventures on Instagram @meghanramsey and youtube!

I’ve hiked 70 miles in 7 days, but only about 15 of those were with Ollie! My first night on trail was pretty brutal for me mentally, and almost made me change my mind about this idea all together. I forgot my trekking poles and my spork, so I was eating ramen with my hands for lunch, and there was a cold front moving through. By 6pm we were in our tent to stay out of the cold— even though Ollie was warm enough that night (she was snuggled up in her snowsuit, laying on me, in our sleeping bag) I was up almost all night checking on her and making sure she stayed safe and cozy. The next morning I was up and out of my tent by 6:30am, and the cold was a rude awakening for Olive and I both. It was a challenge not being able to put her down (because the ground was frozen) while trying to pack up camp. We were both a bit upset that morning but as soon as she was in her carrier she was right back to sleep. I, on the other hand hiked and cried for about 2 miles before calling ollie’s grandma and my dad to pick me up at a gap three miles ahead.
