Our own personal nature sanctuary is almost up and running. I had the idea, and Dad ran with it. What a wonderful place this will be for years to come. Our camping trailers are not currently there since both are in-shop for maintenance, but the space is ready. Welcome to Kamp Kerns!

I am so grateful. My first 14er happened Sat. July 10th. A coworker of Garon's unexpectedly had a climbing partner cancel on her, so she asked Garon if I would go. Well, Adrion and I went. I joke that my emotional spectrum is broken after this past year, but standing on top of the mountain may have re-opened my heart. The message I'm hearing, though, is one of change. I don't know what it means or what's ahead, but nothing feels certain anymore...the education journey is leaving me unfulfilled.
