Jessie lives in the beautiful Sierra Nevada town of Hume, California, with her hubby, Paco. When she's not writing or editing for Reflections, she and Paco strap on their packs and hit the trail whenever possible. (For pictures of their backpacking and other adventures, visit www.pacocreations.com/amazingplaces.)

Jessie also loves biking, listening to Paco play piano, refinishing furniture, gardening, coaching and playing volleyball and playing tennis.
