What national park do you dream of visiting?

Yosemite. I had a chance as Youth Ambassador when I was a child but my parents weren’t able to afford it. I have dreamt of staring up at those giants ever since.

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

I found myself lost in Rocky Mountain National Park on a solo trip, while doing some soul work after a traumatic loss. With no cell phone service, and the light of day fading fast I chose a direction to walk. Not far down that path I found a heart shaped rock; a sign from partner in Heaven that I was headed in the right direction. I found my car and had an awesome story to scare my mom with!

What would you do with $10,000?

Briefly touched on above, I am a widowed mom of three. We are currently trying to buy our first house and the money would be used for housing related expenses. And maybe with a little leftover we can head into the mountains as a family for a long weekend!
