Rosie Enos (Dogstar)

Rosie started off her adventures roaming jagged lava fields as a young child growing up in Hawaii. Later her life path crossed with one Ted the Chicken, her trusty sidekick, in the woods of Kentucky. This is where she spent her summers leading countless kids stomping through creeks, crawling through caves, and searching for moon pigs. Consequently, the desert called. Wide open spaces and stars created a serious setting for thought provoking, life changing, young people type work. Most recently Rosie has found herself chasing litters of puppies, scooping poop, and managing to stay upright (most of the time) behind a team of Alaskan Huskies. Rosie is a WMI Wilderness First Responder and has her Professional CPR through the Red Cross.

Bio: I can be best described as a former architect with an expensive unused college education with an expertise in living in a sleeping bag. I am not really qualified for this women’s focused backpacking program due to my gender assignment, but thanks to Rosie, she has bestowed a honorary female gender so I can take part in this great experience. Her only complaints are that at times I can be a “Chatty Kathy” and my big round head eclipses her sun shiny day.

Here is what I have to offer:

• Spent the past summer professionally guiding trips through various National Park systems.
• Hiked the entire Appalachian Trail.
• Spent two winter seasons as a Sled Dog Musher
• A great appreciation for the outdoors
• I am an avid cycling and backpacking enthusiast
• Most Importantly I am a Professional 9 to 5 desk job dodger
• Highly Qualified Poop Scooper

Certifications:

• Red Cross CPR and AED
• WFR (WMA)
