'Twas the night before the hike

Hiking
Written By Megan McCrory

Our vacation is finally here!! We have had the Tour du Mont Blanc on our bucket list since 2014. If you've never heard of the Mont Blanc, I'm talking about the highest mountain in the European Alps, not the company that sells pens. Although a tour of the Mont Blanc factory would also be appealing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Blanc

We will spend the next 9 days hiking around this beautiful mountain range. Starting in Switzerland and traversing through Italy and France before returning to Switzerland.

A total distance of 151 km plus elevation climb of approximately 11000 meters. Whew!

My goal for this trip is to successfully blog every day. I know I will be able to complete the hike but somehow I never get around to posting my blogs about the hikes or pictures for that matter. So you are here to keep me going. I have my strategy and my goal. Please leave me comments or better yet ask me some questions!

Always Pay Attention Around Power Tools
Always Pay Attention Around Power Tools

Power tool safety is no joke. To avoid accidents, remember these key steps: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shields you from potential harm, proper Training is essential before you handle any power tool, and your Focus should be solely on the task at hand. Aunt Meggie's advice is just the start – always consult an expert for the safest practices.
