Very personable, knowledgeable. Great job keeping us engaged! – Suzy F.
I enjoyed the activities in the evening and the variety of dinner options – Sue H.
Andy and Lucy kept the group laughing and learning the whole time. Your efforts made the trip feel safe and so much fun. I had an awesome time and want to do it again! – Linda M.
I loved meeting new friends and comparing equipment. I don't think I would change a thing. I liked the fact that every time we talked about things like water filtering or camp stoves, someone there had used something different and we got to see how they worked. Visual experience is always the best. – Sara D.
It was perfect. I liked the challenge on the trail and the size of the group is great. Perfect trip. Would like to be able to do more. – Andrea W.
Great guide with a wealth of knowledge. Well planned and executed. – Narayan R.
The trip felt like something out of a dream, seeing such sights. And just being on the AT itself, after spending so long reading about it. The trip gave me great confidence in my backpacking abilities, and made me feel sure I can thru-hike the AT when I'm ready. I can't wait to go back again in the future. – Alyssa R.
The BEST part of this weekend was the way you thought of every detail and planned the weekend so that we could enjoy it fully without worrying about being responsible for anything (other than staying safe and having fun!). I really have no suggestions on how to make it better. – Beth L.
I wouldn't change anything. It was quite the learning experience for me. Both guides were professional and helpful and kept our safety as their first priority. – Terri C.
The trip has armed me with the knowledge that I was previously lacking in terms of packing needs, backwoods hygiene and Leave No Trace principles. Great job! – Jessica C.
I don't think you could have done anything better. Your attention to detail and consideration for others are tremendous. Everything was top-notch. Thank you! – Shauna M.

This trip far exceeded my expectations. – Nancy B.
I loved the rapelling and caving! – Angela W.
I thought that this workshop was a good test of the equipment my wife and I are planning to take next month when we begin section hiking on the AT. I particularly liked the helpful tips I received from both guides. – Randall B.
The course was perfect and so was the location. – Matt P.
I loved everything! Change nothing! Continue providing an excellent experience! – Julio S.

The whole experience was great: very friendly and knowledgeable leaders, great group of women, and wonderful views! – Robin T.
I liked the Leave No Trace discussions and the discussion in between with other participants – Name Withheld

The rain provided yet another great lesson in backpacking reality and how to deal. All in all, it was a great experience, I learned a lot, and I very much enjoyed the company of all of the ladies who were there. – Laurie J.
