Medoc Mountain | Bluff Loop Trail

As someone who deals with chronic pain, hiking is an incredibly empowering experience. By the end of the trail I’m always in absolute agony. (Likely for a few days after as well. 😩) But the fact that I still got out there and pushed my body to its limits...it makes me feel invincible. So, maybe I can’t serve my country anymore. But hiking has taught me that I can still serve my mind, body, and soul. 💚
