Charlotte Gailliet
Ambassador
Hi there! My name is Charlotte, but I go by Charlie. I am an Air Force spouse and I currently stay home with our 1 year old son. We have been in Washington for 3 years, and what a beautiful place to be! My husband and I have been together for 13 and a half years. We have lived in Virginia, South Carolina, and Washington together, but I grew up a military brat and have lived all over.
I always say that my happy place is being surrounded by trees. At least feeling like I'm far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and breathing in all that good fresh air.
Favorite Adventure: My husband and I rented a cabin in the mountains of Georgia for our honeymoon. We were terribly unprepared for the drive to the cabin. I'll never forget holding on for dear life hoping our car made it down the road. But we had an amazing time, hiking, and sunset watching, and visiting the local town.
Favorite Trail Snack: I almost always have dried mango.
Chris Fletcher
Ambassador
Hi my name is Chris, retired from the US Air Force and as a Department of the Army civilian. My wife of 27 years and I have lived in DuPont, Wa. since 2016. Spent 40 years of servicestationed around the US, Europe and Asia, most notably almost 20 years in Korea. I was a Fire Chief and a Weather Forecaster. I am originally from England, UK and was stationed in Washington twice during my career. Once at Fairchild AFB, Spokane, where I became a US Citizen and once at McChord AFB where I decided when I retire this will be my home. We love to hike, bike ride and play golf. I also like to video record my adventures with close to 300 videos on YouTube. We hike or bike weekly, year round. I’m in my 70s so nothing extreme, normally 5-7 miles max.
Koti Bostic
Ambassador
Hey! My name is Koti. I’m an Army spouse currently stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington with my husband and our adventure pup. We’ve been fortunate enough to be stationed in: Hawaii, Georgia, Texas, Kansas and now the beautiful PNW! I’m currently in a Master’s program for Biology/Conservation. When I'm not studying, I love hiking, snowshoeing, stand up paddle boarding, and practicing photography. One of my favorite things about hiking is that the challenge is rewarded by the view and feeling of accomplishment. I'm always on the lookout for new places to explore!
Favorite Adventure: One of my absolute favorite experiences was going on a safari in Botswana and Zambia. We saw the most amazing animals, felt connected to nature and the people, and even did a Bush walk to see endangered white rhinos and a new baby calf. We took a boat through the Okavango Delta (with hippos and crocodiles following) and swam at the top of Victoria Falls.
Favorite Trail Snack: Bobo’s bars, trail mix, and dried mango.
Megan Rice
Ambassador
Hello! My name is Megan and I am a United States Navy wife, originally from Eastern Ohio but currently enjoying the Evergreen State -WASHINGTON- with my husband and two kids. GO BUCKEYES! The Navy has taken us from Ohio to Virginia, Mississippi, California and now here to Washington. Our love for adventure started when we were stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. We started visiting National Parks and continued our journey as the Navy moved us across the US. We are so lucky that the military allows us and our kids to experience the great outdoors.
Favorite Adventure: Mount Saint Helens Summit
Favorite Trail Snack: Chomps Beef Sticks, Lemon LaraBars and kid approved-homemade Trail Mix

Author: Christine Reed
Washington, nationwide
Christine discovered long distance backpacking while surfing the internet at work. She decided that day to attempt to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. One adventure led to another and a few years later she set out on the Wonderland Trail in Mt Rainier National Park. Her Rugged Outdoors Woman persona started as a joke, a nod to the outdoor adventurer that she wished to be. But in the years since, she has come into her own as a backpacker, rock climber, and trail runner. Her book, “Alone in Wonderland,” is a testament to the decision to name who you want to be and make it so.

Her poems and essays have been published in Rust + Moth, Marathon Literary Review, The Raven Chronicles Journal, Avalon Literary Review, and Arcturus Literary Magazine.
