Welcome All DreamersHello family, old friends, new friends, and anyone interested in outdoor adventure!
Adam asked me to write a brief introduction to his website. The website is a compilation of many of Adam's amazing backpacking trips. It all started with the Appalachian Trail in 2000. It was a nearly 5 month adventure of a lifetime. Thus, Dreamer was born! For those of you who don't know, Appalachian Thru Hikers are known by their trail names and Adam's trail name was, appropriately, Dreamer. Since 2000, Adam has tried to backpack a long trip each year, but life, including the introduction of the amazing and powerful Isabela to our lives in 2004, has not always allowed those adventures to occur. But he always finds time to squeeze in some incredible trip here or there. He loves to share his trips with others, though he prefers to hike alone, through his journal and photos. This is the perfect spot to reach others and share his belief that whatever you do, dream big and continue to dream. There are always new adventures around the corner. Enjoy! And thanks for your love and support of our family, Paula |

MY LATEST ADVENTURE
2025 Shepherd Pass
As the summer of 2025 wound down, my plan was to get in a handful more trips into my favorite place, the Eastern Sierras. Shepherd Pass was the next goal. Pablo was my partner in crime.
I’d been near this area on my first trip of the summer and made a mental note that I wanted to bring my good friend Pablo back here for the amazing fishing opportunities. Although I grew up fishing, I don’t fish anymore (Pablo and I would talk about the core reasons behind that for hours), but I loved to watch Pablo fish, and even more, loved eating the tasty trout he cooked up.
With that being said, the first area of lakes we visited had no fish at all. A smaller second area had fish, but they proved to be quite elusive to Pablo. And although we might not have had fish on this trip, we did have every kind of weather possible.
