When she's not turning boaters into writers, she's probably exploring her backyard with her nine-pound dog, creating magic in the kitchen or drinking wine with a good book. A native to North Carolina, she originally moved to Idaho for graduate school. Captivated by the Palouse's rolling hills and unsatisfied with the amount of places still to explore, she stuck with Idaho and now calls it home. She chases powder in the winter and sunshine by SUP in the summer.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/smashthrulife\/"],"url":"https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/author\/ashley\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38016"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9291"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9291\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14404,"href":"https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9291\/revisions\/14404"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
