The Beginning

The calendar has turned once again to August so that must mean it's time for another Hike-a-Thon in support of the Washington Trails Association. This year, as the title of this blog indicates, Hike-a-Thon will be a team effort between myself and three others. Members of We Trip We Fall 2010 include: Cari (Wieben) Nebel, Jaime Weber, Jessica Guthrie and myself, Angella Wieben. Cari, Jaime and Jessica are all new to the Hike-a-Thon this year so I'm excited to have them join in the fun and give it a go.

Even though we will be raising money as a team and supporting each other as a team, our team will actually never hike all together this month. Cari and Jessica will be pounding the trails here in Washington state, while Jaime will spend the first two weeks of the month hiking in Ireland. Following Ireland Jaime has mentioned possible hikes in either Iowa or Illinois as well as some shorter urban hikes back here in Washington. I will also be joining Jaime in Ireland, but will be extending my trip for three weeks, about two and half of which will be spent hiking.

We all have a busy August ahead of us and will be dropping in here as often as we can with updates on the trails we have hiked, funny stories and of course photos of our adventures. If you'd like to support a member of the team, simply click on their name above to be taken to their fundraising page on the WTA website.

Thanks for checking in, we'll hopefully have more up soon about our first hikes of the month!
