  • Guest Bio- My name is Ginger DeHaan; my trail name is Iris. I'm a mother of eight, grandmother of four, wife of a chef, and wrangler of three sassy dogs. I also teach first grade in the Piedmont region of South Carolina. Each year I pretend to thru-hike my students. We have hiked Bama to Baxter twice, the Eastern Continental Trail, and this year we are doing a border-to-border school calendar year Triple Crown with time to run the Iditarod. From Leave No Trace to Trail Magic, I incorporate as much hiking culture and community as possible while instilling a true love of nature for all our students.

  • Jan Leitschuh was bitten by the AT bug in 2002. With no real backpacking experience, she threw herself into learning, training and stomping down fears and questions that swirled around her preparations. She joined the infamous Pack 31- a group of hikers that met online and named themselves after the date they started, March 1, 2003. This community, built on meetings at the ALDHA Gathering and a thousand online hours, still remain friends to this day and Lite Shoe, along with many of those original Pack 31 folks can often be found at the Gathering, sharing their stories and knowledge with a new class of hikers.

    Finally, as promised, the coveted recipe for:
    Homemade Hiker's Halvah
    (Halvah a la Alli!):
    3/4 cup sesame tahini
    1/2 cup raw honey
    1/4 - 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
    1/4 - 1/2 tsp. pure chocolate extract (could use vanilla instead)
    1/4 cup powdered milk (or 10 Tb powdered milk if not using whey and egg white powders)
    3 Tb. powdered whey (milk protein)
    3 Tb. egg white powder
    Note: amounts are approximate; what you want at the end is a reasonably dry, solid mass.
    Instructions:
    Mix together sesame tahini, honey and extracts until smooth. Gradually add powdered milk, whey and egg white powder. Mixture will become thick; mix well. You want to get it to point where can't be stirred and you have to mix/knead it with your hands; otherwise, the halvah will be too soft and gooey.
    Press finished mixture into a container or make a flat disk (1/2" high) on a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and chill. Then cut into whatever size you like. Pack in ziplock baggies for the trail and you have a high-calorie, high-protein, high-carb, high-(good)fat power snack! Yum!
    P.S. from Alli: "The following are the brands I use. They're expensive, but make a superior halvah:
    *Joyva Sesame Tahini (a must! available in cans; cheaper in bulk);
    *Dawes Hill Raw Tupelo Honey (Tupelo honey apparently has a different chemical structure than other honeys and has a less dramatic effect on blood sugar; apparently can be used -- in moderation -- by those who are diabetic and hypoglycemic. I have a friend who's severely hypoglycemic and it's the only honey he can tolerate);
    *Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract (a kick-ass vanilla extract!);
    *Flavorganics organic Pure Chocolate Extract (amazing!);
    *I get the whey and egg white powder in bulk at my local food coop; are also available packaged.

    Jan Lite Shoe, AT Class of '03

  • Jan Leitschuh was bitten by the AT bug in 2002. With no real backpacking experience, she threw herself into learning, training and stomping down fears and questions that swirled around her preparations. She joined the infamous Pack 31- a group of hikers that met online and named themselves after the date they started, March 1, 2003. This community, built on meetings at the ALDHA Gathering and a thousand online hours, still remain friends to this day and Liteshoe, along with many of those original Pack 31 folks can often be found at the Gathering, sharing their stories and knowledge with a new class of hikers.
