This is Bug, our new hiking buddy who we met coming into the Sierra at Donor Pass. She thru hiked last year and wanted to redo the sections she had to skip due to fire closures last season.  She knocked out 33 miles her first day back on trail and quickly became a valued part of our SOBO crew. 

Bug also believes in plant power. Her masters in nutrition left her more commited than ever to the values of a vegan diet and we’ve enjoyed geeking out about trail food, real food, and the recognition of the consciousness of all sentient beings, dude…

Check out her excellent blog about hiking and nutrition
