About me

Hey, that's me!

Who am I?

First I should say that I’m a little bit silly. No, very silly. I jump into backpacking trips like Scrappy Doo, and love laughing at my mistakes. I’m less skilled in the outdoors and more determined with a high tolerance for discomfort.

I’ve been lucky enough to do a good bit of travel all over the world and a reasonable chunk of the Appalachian Trail. My trail name is D.I.D. (Dressed in Dirt).

I get out into the woods as often as I can, and when I can’t go on backpacking trips, I sometimes sleep in a tent in my backyard. I like to garden, eat brownies, and play Ultimate Frisbee. Not necessarily in that order.

I am also the organizer of the Portland Women’s Outdoor Club. If you are in the area, come on a hike with us! I promise that I will plan ahead enough to avoid accidentally killing you.

Writing for the blog has been a wonderful adventure, and I love to hear from my readers. So if you would like to contact me, you can do so at adelaide@dressedindirt.com. I can’t promise that I’ll have anything helpful to say, but if you could use a little goofiness in your life, I can provide that. You can follow me on Twitter here.
