A girl and a dog get into a 1978 Toyota Dolphin...

She hasn't been on the site since last November. Hope she is safe somewhere and still watching the stars at night.

Man, that first post sucked me in. Her writing style really got my attention and my hopes up as someone I would enjoy reading during her travels. What a let down.
On a side note, I went to her instagram and seems she isn't active there much either. Like you, hope she is ok!

How I love such lively, soulful and well-written stories. I would be glad if you continue to write and give us the opportunity to read about your path and adventures.

The first post was awesome, I was ready to follow for a long time. What happened? I hope she is doing OK.

I don't think anyone knows...

Yeah that sucks. We need to start an investigation into her whereabouts/safety. Yes pictures of the dog are required. I like it when we have a picture of the traveler as well.

Found this:

Rachel Lee Drinkard (@apulpfaction) • Instagram photos and videos

www.instagram.com

I agree with what others have said... interesting writing, and it would be great to read more. Her site link is down but you can find some pre 2018 content on the wayback machine.

Any updates on her?

Her Instagram is current; send her a DM.

I wonder maybe if these two hooked up and are just enjoying life.

It looks like Rachel is alive and well in Hernando, MS (south of Memphis) operating a heritage seed company Haiku Heritage Farm.

I was brought here by that post above from @Trailboss as it showed up in New posts. Started reading and got drawn in before I realized this was such an old thread. Someone call her and tell her we are wating for (as Paul Harvey used to say)...the rest...of the story.

I think this was all because the OP had a 100 pound kayak!

Actually, FWIW it looks like she made it to Alaska, returning there post the Mississippi adventures I’m guessing, seems to be now based out of Anchorage and working remotely (according to current LinkedIn account) for a business called the Wild Alaskan Company
