Why yes, I am actually on all of these hikes and adventures I talk about. :) - Just to prove it, here's a #repost from my friend and hiking buddy @christophermatthias, who turned the camera back on me last weekend. I'm almost always the one taking the pictures, but every now and then it's nice to see myself as a part of the world around me. And this misty, rainy, shockingly green climb up to Heybrook Lookout was a pretty great corner of the World to explore. - - #womenwhohike #womenonadventures #sheexplores #ourpnw #mypnwlife #walkintherain #exploretheworld #keepclimbing #mybodytookmehere #hiking #firelookout #hikingadventures #takeahike #spring #heybrooklookout #washingtonexplored #shehikes #hikersofinstagram

Last weekend's walk in the woods was a short but steep climb to Heybrook Lookout, one of the lower altitude fire lookouts in Washington State. Sheltered from the rain by towering pines and drooping moss, surrounded by brilliant spring greens and gentle light, it was less a workout and more a journey through fairyland. (And then a climb up 86 wet wooden steps to a viewing platform that was plenty sturdy, but high enough to be gut-clenching for those of us who aren't so fond of heights.) - - This is just the first of the hikes I plan to take this summer from Amber Casali's lovely "Hiking Washington's Fire Lookouts" (pubbed by @mtnbooks ). As the snow melts, we'll start to climb higher. - - - #weekendhike #pnwwonderland #ourpnw #mypnwlife #hikepnw #firelookout #heybrooklookout #keepclimbing #springgreen #hiketheworld #keepwalking #walkinthewoods #daytrip #explorewashington #sundayfunday #optoutside #hikingadventures #hikinglife #hikingtrails #guidebook #spring #cascademountains #washingtonexplored #liveyouradventure

I can't look away from the heartbreaking videos coming from Paris this morning as Notre Dame burns. We were here less than a year ago, on a spring morning not so different from this one. I was jetlagged, overwhelmed by crowds, and still instantly in love with these arches and windows. #Paris #notredame

You guys, I'm tired. It's been a long 6 months of working and traveling and speaking and trying to keep up with all of this author stuff, on top of a more-than-full time day job and family and friends and life. But then I see beautiful #bookstagram pics like this from @readerwriterknitternerd, or I get emails like this, that came this morning: "I just finished reading Walking to the End of the World and wanted to tell you how very much I enjoyed your story. I found it to mirror very closely my experiences on the Camino – the doubts, aches and pains, and discouragement, as well as the sheer joy and beauty of the Camino. You captured and expressed what I believe is one of the most authentic and honest descriptions of the Camino experience I have read to date." And I remember why I did all of this: because the Camino touches and changes people forever, and this book was my way of sharing the gift. So this #thankfultuesday I'm grateful for the readers who pause in their own busy days to reach out and share their experiences, and the books they love. Your encouragement means the world to writers like me. - - #thankful #walkingtotheendoftheworld #caminodesantiago #booksofinstagram #Compostela #compostelle #chemindecompostelle #wayofstjames #authorsofinstagram #bookshelf #readersareleaders #bookstoread #caminolove #pilgrims

"Maybe I can't stop the downpour, but I will always join you for a walk in the rain." Scenes from today's wet and windy and wonderful hike up to Oyster Dome and around Lily Lake. - - #saturdayhike #hiketheworld #optoutside #goforawalk #skagit #chuckanut #walkinthewoods #walkintherain #wanderlust #pnwwonderland #pnwlife
