I have been unable to get pictures on my blog for days! I been trying since Kassie left on Monday to blog about her hike. Finally, I got it to work! 
Kassie left Monday morning for a four day hike on the Appalachian Trail. Her pack weighed right around 25 pounds. She hiked during the day and slept in a tent at night. There were no bathrooms, no showers. With the help of a sharp rock, she dug holes just off the trail in order to relieve herself. On day two or three she bathed and washed her hair in a creek. She cooked her meals using a Sterno stove. Is this my daughter? The same child that pouted and cried during simple short family hikes? How did she do it? She told me she was praying the entire time, "Just help me get around the next bend!" "Please get me up this hill!" With the Lord's help, she did it! We're proud of you Kassie!
