Eeeee!! Thank you for a lovely hike, St. Louis! I loved all our conversations and playing witness to your bonding and getting to know one another. I feel so honored and grateful to be able to facilitate these hikes and meet ups for folks like all of you - to be a part of some folk’s exploration and introduction to our community, and even fore some, their first hike ever! What better way to get into hiking than with a group of individuals you share such commonalities with whom and where you can truly be yourself. Thank you so much for having us! It was so wonderful meeting all of you. P.s. this was our last hike with @kylenorris 😭🤗! So glad you could join us for these past few days, I was able to share a few hikes, space and fun times with you, and that you made it home safe! Thank you so much for joining me and the pupper!! 💙🤗 *squeeze* I hope to see you all again soon!! Next stop (today at 2pm): Kansas City! 😄🙌🚙🌈🗺⛰ Register for a hike near you at www.theventureoutproject.com/roadtrip #stlouis #MO #hike #lgbtqia #letshike #theventureoutproject #letsgetoutsidetogether #bonding #outdoors #community #communitybuilding #nature #ftmtraveler #tvoproadtrip (at Lime Kiln Trailhead)
