This was so interesting to watch. I grew up in Leadville-lived there for 14 years. My grandfather owned the town's only barber shop on Harrison Ave, my grandmother worked at a bakery at the other end of the block and the owner used to let me frost sugar cookies there. My mother worked at the real estate office across the street and my dad rescued tourist who decided to explore mine shafts. I spent many summers at Turquoise Lake. Yes, it looks very low. Some of the best memories of my life are from my time in that little town. This was like a walk down memory lane.
Gossamer Gear makes an add on pocket for your pack straps to hold a cell phone. I just got one for a day pack that lacks outer storage. It's very well made and straps securely to the pack straps.
The fact that I started watching you maybe about 13 years ago, amazing how your life has done a 360 lol. I started watching because I enjoyed your housewife videos but I guess I just enjoy watching you because I like these videos just as much even though they are so different from where you started. Im glad that even though your life style changed you still found a way to share so thank you for that. Your videos get me though my housewife duties lol. ❤❤❤ Every once in awhile I would love to see a home video maybe lol like old times. But in the meantime I'll travel with you 😊
I feel the same way! I was thinking that what I must like is the attention to detail, the planning, the organization, being prepared, being thoughtful. Those things transfer from home stuff, Disney runs and, apparently, hiking LOL. :)
Same! I think about that after each video how life happens and how Jen’s evolved with it all. Life truly is what you make of it, it’s wonderful seeing her so happy!!!
I nice tip when it is chilly, use hand and feet warmers under your covers or fill up a hot water bottle as well. When my son was in boy scouts we use to put them in our sleeping bags and it helped to keep you warmer. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Hi Jen, I’m pretty sure these videos may be after the actual date. But I wanted to let you know that one of news stories this am 07/28/23 was regarding there is currently a man who is attacking women who are alone hiking. I’m Colorado Hoping that you are already home. If please please e very careful. Ask the local sheriffs department for further information. Karen~
You have been such an inspiration to me since "what's in my walking pharmacy" and I've been invested since. You have been though hell and back and I think you are absolutely incredible and so brave for this new chapter of camping. I used to work at REI and you are inspiring me to get my inner camping girl out! Keep up the great work!
this is incredible! these videos really inspire me to do this on my own. love all the insight and information you provide. can't wait for the next adventure!
Jen, this video was amazing, you are amazing ~ you are a Rock Star, almost literally right with climbing those rocks.......I can't even imagine doing all you do or being as brave as you.....watching this on Friday night and it made my night for sure........keep taking best of care! Congrats on this amazing hike!
Jen, that was an incredible adventure! I admire you so much for conquering your goal. So proud of what you’ve accomplished!! 👍👍 Thank you for bringing us along- you made such a difficult trek up the mountain seem so easy and effortless- amazing, girl!! 🙌😃 Can’t wait for more adventures!!
Thank you for sharing your adventures with me. 🤗 I will be hiking and camping in some similar temperatures this fall. What leggings or pants do you recommend?
Now this content is very interesting! Also like your at home organization ones. You inspired me to organize my kitchen drawers last year & then I painted my cabinets! Keep it up, Jen!! 👍🏻
Love watching your adventures Jen! It's not possible for me to trave; the way you do, yet, but it inspires me to work out what is possible for me and I really, really needed that reminder today. Thank you!
I’m only halfway through, but I think you are packing correctly. I live in Colorado and we hear all the time about people overdue on hikes who were not prepared. It often doesn’t end well in that scenario. I think being prepared is always the best option! Editing after I’ve finished watching to say: great job!! That’s quite the accomplishment. Thanks for bringing us along.
I’m not sure, I don’t tend to daydream about things that aren’t my current reality. Life kind of stomps that out of you as you get older, for better or worse 😉 However, I imagine if I could live anywhere I’d be closer to mountains.
Way to go Jen! Colorado is a beautiful state-I want to move there! The elevation would probably do me in though since I live in Louisiana lol. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely STUNNING view. Good for you pushing yourself to do the hike! Downside to watching this is that I am very pregnant and now really craving a Pop Tart 😂
My most favorite thing to do is hike! Thank you for sharing your beautiful trips to the parks. Love it so much. Love you Jen since watching you for so many years. If you ever come to AZ let me know. I could do a hike in Sedona with you. The best hiking trails and stunning views. Happy travels! Always look forward to your videos. ❤
You climbed a mountain?!?! What? Amazing. That is absolutely amazing. And you're right - all of that training on the core saved you from getting seriously hurt. So proud of you! You're doing fantastic.

I really enjoy the videos you inspire me to get out there and see the country.

Wow. Incredible!!! Thanks for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve done mount Elbert! We are from Vancouver, Canada and took wayyyy longer than 6-8 hours. Too used to sea level! 😂
It’s a tough one! Luckily it’s not a race 😉 Kudos to you on your climb! 🏔️
@@WithWonder Same to you!!
Congratulations and would you let me know what trail wa sthis North bond from Leadville that is 10 miles or a diff
Please link your arc jacket and the plushie you found in Leadville.

Bravo Jen!! You are amazing!
Aw shucks, thanks! ☺️

With all your travels thus far, and if you had no ties to IL , is there anyplace you would move to that's your favorite so far??
I’m not sure, I don’t tend to daydream about things that aren’t my current reality. Life kind of stomps that out of you as you get older, for better or worse 😉 However, I imagine if I could live anywhere I’d be closer to mountains.
Another great one 👌 😊
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Yeah, you did it! 🥰
Way to go Jen! Colorado is a beautiful state-I want to move there! The elevation would probably do me in though since I live in Louisiana lol. Thanks for sharing!
Have you considered walking the wonderland trail? It’s on my bucket list :)
This traveling and camping alone...as a woman...really makes me nervous. You have kids ( at home) that need you. I am not feeling this at all.
I really enjoy watching your videos. That campsite is so beautiful
Absolutely STUNNING view. Good for you pushing yourself to do the hike!
Downside to watching this is that I am very pregnant and now really craving a Pop Tart 😂
What's that ting you have on your left shoulder?
Wow Jen, that was amazing!! Thank you for sharing all your adventures, definitely adding to my bucket list! 😊
My most favorite thing to do is hike! Thank you for sharing your beautiful trips to the parks. Love it so much. Love you Jen since watching you for so many years. If you ever come to AZ let me know.

Way to go!! I'm proud of you for making it to the top of Mt. Elbert!! Can't wait to see where else you visit in Colorado.
I’m so very proud of you! And your happiness is contagious. Keep on with these wonderful videos 💕
Jennifer, those are beautiful views of the lake/dam and trails…M♥️M of 5
