Lauren 'Neon' and Bethany 'Fidgit' met while thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2010. Two individually accomplished thru-hikers, they are currently on a human powered endeavor to travel the length of the Americas connecting the story of the land and its inhabitants. Since 2015, they have traveled 14,000 miles across 9 countries so far on their way to the Arctic Ocean.
