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.
Andy's inspirational and informative navigation is top notch. His passion for and deep knowledge of the AT is so tangible in both his planned workshops and informal conversations. I learned so much. – Rhonda T.

I really enjoyed the overnight in a tent and the demo of jet boil. I appreciate learning how to pack my pack; it was way to unnecessarily heavy. – Jeremiah H.

Fantastic trip and a great time. Looking forward to participating in more events! – Shawn L.
I loved the caving and rappelling- really physically and mentally challenging ourselves. Kristy is such a calm moderator and speaker creating a trusting environment where we felt so accepted for who we are. This enabled everyone to share without fear or embarrassment of showing our emotions. I loved all the various activities with yoga in the mix to relax the body and mind. – Mary U.

Workshops were very helpful - a wide range of equipment was displayed to give us a good idea of the options available. – P.T.
I like the caving trip the best! There isn't an anything that I can think of that I would change. – Rita L.
Andy is a great leader; he helped us with our weaknesses and praised our strengths. He provided a nice balance of group hiking and also let us hike at our own pace. I would recommend this trip to anyone who has interest in hiking any type trail for an extended period of time. Experienced hikers would definitely benefit as well. If you have every wanted to "get out there" this is the trip to take. – Charley S.
