"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and loudly proclaiming: Wow!! What a ride!" - Someone Smart
I love being outside, staying active and having fun. I am a senior at UWEC. I have been leading trips for the EAC since I was a freshman. My favorite part about leading trips is being able to meet new people and spend the weekend in the great outdoors. The most interesting experience I have from trip leading is waking up to a racoon sleeping on my sleeping bag in the middle of the night. I named him Ricky!!! :)

Hello, I’m Brooke Fahrenkrog. I’m really tall, and love to play outside. I LOVE PADDLING! It seriously completes me. I’m a Geology major here at good old UWEC, and I’m also a Dance minor (interesting combo huh). I’m a Yoga instructor for the Eau Claire area as well. When I meet you I’ll probably have a coffee mug or a rock in my hand, both of which keep me going day by day. I love to bike, climb, swim, stretch, and hike, not run, and most of all I love to paddle. My vessel of choice is a kayak; river or sea, I just love to tear it up. Recently I’ve been influenced by the words of the great Kanye West: “That that don’t kill me can only make me stronger,” so having said that, sign up for a trip and take some risks! Happy trails!
