When you get to have fun while getting paid. 👌🏽 It’s not lost on me how lucky I am. I still have to stare at a computer screen a lot, but finding ways to integrate work in the outdoors has been top priority for a while. The dreaming never stops! I wish I could only ever do passion projects. I just want to be paid to adventure, learn from others, and write poetry. Someday. Someday. _ #keepitfun #keepitwild #nmlff #outdoorwomen #writerslife #geartesting #paiuteland #womenwhohike #liveyourart #naturetherapy

Can’t wait for more of this. _ Photos by the amazing @eliza_earle _ See you soon, Yosemite & friends. _ #womenwhoclimb #keepitwild #outdoorwomen #nmlff #naturetherapy #liveclimbrepeat #fortheloveofclimbing #cookiemonster #topsirloin #latinasoutdoors #tryhard

“Someday I hope to learn more about the sun and stars, at that time we shall all meet up there, but for the present I prefer to have the boundaries shown by our familiar rivers and mountains.” - Chief Washakie _ #easternshoshone #outdoorwomen #keepitwild #bivytales #talesfromthetrails #writerslife #windriverrange #naturetherapy #chiefwashakie #lifelessons #windriverhighroute

We begin from somewhere under. _ I’m thinking this will be the first line of my essay... _ #writerslife #outdoorwomen #nmlff #bivytales #fkt #windriverrange #keepitwild #poetry #easternshoshone #naturetherapy #runclimbeat #womenwhorun #talesfromthetales #sheadventures #creativewriting #creativenonfiction _ 2nd/3rd photo by @emma.athena.mure

Thank you, everyone! We’re safe and sound, currently back in Colorado. There’s so much to process but we completed the Wind River High Route in 3 days 17 hours 20 minutes (a new speed record). It ended up being 112 miles for us instead of 97, but navigating off trail and switchbacking up passes/across snow slopes and glaciers adds up. We also had at least a mile and an extra 2 hours of delay on day 3 because @emma.athena.mure and I lost each other. As in, it took us 2 hours to wander and shout around a lake (me) or back up a pass (Emma) to find each other. Emma thought I was dead and I thought she was injured in the talus and I was mentally preparing for my first legitimate Wilderness First Responder experience. Obviously, nothing happened and all that was lost was time. Whew. Anyway, trip report and creative writing objectives to come. The mountains truly granted us safe passage and I’m eternally grateful. ❤️ And @moonofhisheart made this whole thing possible with his support. Knowing we’d see him at the end of day 3 and again at the trailhead was a powerful motivator. You’re an incredible anchor, my love. And I can’t wait to balance my life with climbing again hahaha. _ @scarpana @lekiusa were our two biggest gear/stoke supporters (shoes and poles were SO clutch 👌🏽) _ I was the winner of @thegearjunkie and @nordictrack adventure grant, which funded the entire project. _ Other brands we used: @wigwamsocks @lululemon @hyperlite_mountain_gear @mountainsmith @suunto @patagonia @seatosummitgear @blackdiamond @thenorthface @feetures @darntoughvermont @ursack_usa @kahtoola @grivel @camelbak @ospreypacks @thermarest @outdoorresearch @allgoodbrand @backpackerspantry @superjamesbars @bocogear @buff_usa @izipizi @nativeeyewear @pureaquainc @goalzero and more. _ Shout out to @andrewskurka for creating an incredible guidebook and for all the work he did to envision and execute such an arduous route. _ @fastestknowntime #keepitwild #windriverrange #windriverhighroute #nnlff #outdoorwomen #sheadventures #bivytales #adventurereadyspirit #naturetherapy #easternshoshone #northernarapaho #wyomingbackcountry #fastpacking #ultrarunning #runclimbeat #fastestknowntime

Que será será. Today is my last day in Leadville/alpine Ute land. All I can say is that I’m ready to try...and that I’ve been eating nonstop. #carbload Let’s go. _ We head towards Lander this Friday. I’ll be sharing a link soon for those who wish to follow our GPS tracking. _ #talesfromthetrails #keepitwild #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #uteland #training #nmlff #bivytales #nauretherapy #feelstrong #writerslife #adventurereadyspirit #fortheloveofadventure #trailrunningviews #womenwhorun #fastpacking _ Second photo from @sstroeer

Summmmmerrrr has come and gone but it’s still so hot 🥵 Heard on NPR yesterday that true “Fall” weather will only be more and more delayed each year as we fall further into climate change. In the first few days of September, over a dozen weather stations reported record highs. Northerly migration is already a reality, but only for those who can afford it (across all flora and fauna). @meganwalsh11 has been curating a weekly climate newsletter, with both the good and the bad. Subscribe and stay informed! _ #climatechange #keepitreal #keepitwild #windriverrange #easternshoshone #northernarapaho #crow #bivytales #stayinformed #naturetherapy #skyline #summerhighs #summertime #alpinelakes #alpinelife

When you travel you open yourself up. To the land. To other people’s paths. And you change. Or at least I hope you do. Even if it’s through memory alone. When I take a photo I want it to reflect the change in me. _ El desierto de Sonora //Tohono O’odham / Seri / Yaqui / Pima _ #nmlff #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #liveyourart #saguaro #sonorandesert #bivytales #writerslife #keepitwild #naturetherapy

Thank you to those who continue to follow and read along. Last year ended up being a quiet year for BivyTales, but this year will hopefully be much different. Experimenting and engaging with more collaboration across various mediums, I hope to share more genuine art and prose. Being so small and without funding is of course the first and main obstacle, which is why most passion projects, like this very platform, easily dissipate. Refocusing my intentions, I might have to redefine what BivyTales even is, what it represents, or what and how it serves the community. Since I cannot pay contributors, I think the best thing to do is distill the brand back to its origins: a personal blog and a place for people to find me, browse my portfolio, etc. Is this the right move? Lend me your thoughts! - Sara _ #liveyourart #bivytales #keepitwild #writerslife #womenwhowrite #artforartssake @bivytales @heysarawrr
