Ever since I’ve been hiking, and spending more time outdoors, getting lost has always been one of my biggest fears. Which is odd, because some of the best times can be found 5 miles up some trail where you realize you went the wrong way in the first place. I…
What would you do for someone you love? What if it hurt like Hell and never offered any relief? What if every week you were providing assistance you had to question yourself, “Is this what my friend would want?” Well, I’m not alone and this story is nothing new. Many…
