    Default female thru-hiker blogs?

    I was wondering if there were any blogs out on the interwebs that were kept by female thru-hikers? I've been reading alot of blogs written by guys and it would be nice to have a lady's perspective on things.

    I'm attempting a thru-hike in mid April

    Lots of women on www.trailjournals.com, but I don't know of any "blogs", just journals...

    The two best blogs by women I found were by either "Lady Cluck" in 2008, or "Shimmy" in 2009. Plus, Shimmy has over 4000 photos on hers, which is unbelievable.

    My friend Anna, Not a thru-hiker (yet?) writes a ton of stuff on her hikes and local exploits.

    http://annagouznova.wordpress.com/

    They're very well written articles with tons of pictures. Somewhere on this page she wrote about a VT Long Trail Trip
    up over the hills, theres nothing to fear
    theres a pub across the way with whisky and beer
    its a lengthy journey on the way up to the top
    but it ain't so bad if you have a great big bottle o'scotch

    I read Blissful's trail journal, and Jan Liteshoe's was awesome, it's really long and addictive, so I hope you have time before you leave. Also, I have one from this past season if you search Pickle. Mine's pretty long too. There are a lot of women's hiking books too if you search Amazon.

    Default More TJ's for you

    I second Blissful and Jan Liteshoe...also check out on Trail Journals: (in no particular order) persistent, certain, gangsta, brownie, Chardonnay & Cabernet, and Wags. I'm sure there are more but these are just the ones from the top of my head!

    Enjoy the reading and good luck on your thru!
