Introductions
Daisy Mae Hodges
Owner
Hiking Guide and Overland Expeditionist
My love for the outdoors has given me the unique opportunity to make adventures happen for others! I became interested in hiking while living in Colorado and that interest brought me to the beautiful Ozarks where I started driving Jeeps and exploring overland adventures. When I am not outdoors, I manage a team of software engineers at a non-profit christian ministry. While I love my job, I always look forward to weekend, holidays, and evening so I can enjoy the amazing outdoors!
