Purdy Wanderlust

Purdy Wanderlust: Dust on my boots, wind in my teeth, and absolutely no intention of behaving—welcome to the wild side of wandering. This isn’t your polished, perfectly filtered adventure feed. This is dirt-under-the-nails, lungs-burning, laugh-too-loud on the summit kind of living. It’s chasing sunrises that require a headlamp, getting lost on purpose, and calling it “route finding” like a badge of honor. Out here, plans bend, weather laughs at you, and somehow that’s exactly the point. I crave the kind of places that make you feel small in the best way—where cell service disappears and your thoughts finally get loud enough to hear. Where goats judge you from cliffs, rivers dare you to cross, and every trail has a story if you’re bold enough to follow it. This blog is for the ones who aren’t afraid to get a little feral, a little muddy, and a lot alive. So pack light, bring snacks, and don’t expect me to stay on trail.
