Author Information

The baby of the 32 Feet Up online adventure family, Opye Bettis made history as the youngest officially documented thruhiker to conquer the entire Appalachian Trail by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. And she received her Elite Athlete Permit by Baxter State Park, which was required in order to summit Katahdin.Her trail name is ""Not Oatmeal"" because after the beginning of her AT journey, for seven straight days, she wanted to eat nothing but oatmeal for every single meal and snack. She ate so much that after the first week, she begin to hate it. You could ask her if she wanted oatmeal and all she'd say is ""not oatmeal!!"" And start whining. It was whiplash. And she never ate oatmeal again.Like her older sisters, she's outgoing, opinionated, and unafraid to speak her mind, her spirited personality adding a dash of excitement to every moment.
