These are the ladies I first met as I entered into my relationship with Nature. They are the ones who watched me develop an unyielding, fervent love for her. Together we share her gifts, admire her majesty, relish in her comfort, and enjoy the friendship she ushered into existence. We call ourselves the Spike Girls and represent the beauty, diversity, and camaraderie that is often spawn by a shared love of exploring the outdoors.

At first glance, the symbolism that life weaves into nature seems somewhat inconspicuous, but with the added perspective of distance and time, the tapestry becomes rather clear. ~shon't.savage photo: shon't.savage Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest | WA

After Lake Stuart, we trek another 2 miles (1 mile on a boot path riddled with blowdowns; another grueling mile of 1,200 feet elevation gain) to reach our home at Horseshoe Lake. Paradise! photo: shon't.savage

View from my tent … Upper Snow Lake is below us; Lake Viviane, our water supply, is behind us. A wonderful, epic, 3-day thru-hike through the Enchantments.
