We met in 1986 while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail between Tuolumne and Agnew Meadows. We've been hiking together ever since, acquiring the trail names "RidgeRoute" and "ShortCut". We married in 1988 and retired at age 50. We were unwitting, early adopters of FIRE before it was a thing.
Since retirement, we've kept busy hiking and bicycling while spending as much as half of each year abroad.
We didn't revisit the section of the PCT where we met until 2018, when we thru-hiked the PCT. This was our longest on-trail adventure and we vlogged our adventures on Facebook.
Beginning with our thru-hike of the Arizona Trail in March 2019 we started vlogging our adventures on YouTube.
"Over the Hills" is intended to be a pun. People in their 60's, 50's?, 40's? are generally understood to be "over the hill" but we'll continue to do what we enjoy, which is climbing mountains and hiking over the hills, as long as we're able to. So far, at least, our age isn't proving an impediment.
