Antics of a Nutty Hiker & Military Spouse

Hiking Antics

Welcome to my wild, crazy, and sometimes unbelievable hiking, travel, and military life adventures! Whether you are here to read my wild stories, get the 411 on hiking and hiking gear, or looking for something to do in the Central Texas/Fort Hood area I am sure you will enjoy your time here. =)

I am Bridget, a Military Wife whose husband is stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, the author of Dear Military Spouse & Ask Bridget Column and former Editor/Journalist for the Harker Heights Evening Star. You can read more about me here.

The biggest complaint I hear about the Fort Hood area is that there is nothing to do. There is a ton of stuff to do in the area, you just need to get outside and explore. Follow me and let me show you around!

In addition to my hiking adventures, you will also find posts about things to do in the Central Texas / Fort Hood area as well as all over the United States as I take my annual 30-day All-American Road Trip!

Sit back, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy my crazy antics on the hiking trail and while I am out exploring Texas.

Find me on the trails!

Did you meet me on the trails somewhere? Chances are I had you take a picture with me! It’s become a ritual since I started hiking here and you can find all my pictures of the people I run into here on the blog. If you have a picture (or video, yikes!) you want to share (maybe you caught me randomly breaking out a dance move), feel free to message them to me. Right now the best way to do that is through Facebook.

LuminAID PackLite Firefly Product Review

This post sponsored by LuminAID. First, let me say that I was super excited to get a chance to test this product!
