I thought about naming this blog “The Final Chapter” but that just didn’t feel right… I completed hiking the Appalachian Trail 7 months ago as of today. The reason I never did a final blog after I had finished was because I knew my journey was not complete… in many different ways. On the Appalachian … Continue reading The Transition…

I’m in Monson, Maine. It’s famous on the Appalachian Trail for being the last stop before entering the 100 mile wilderness. There are no towns, food, or roads for 100 straight miles of trail. No civilization... So don't get hurt or run out of food, because you will have a serious problem. The end of … Continue reading AT Blog #7: Ivy League / Wilderness / Karaoke

Hanover, New Hampshire! I’ve hiked a grand total of 1,736 miles from Springer Mountain in Georgia. Hanover is the home of the prestigious Dartmouth College.

I have attempted to keep track of the number of mountains we have climbed, but at this point it seems to be too many … Continue reading AT Blog #4: Star Power / Dumpster Diving / The Baltimore Wave

725 miles complete. That's 1/3 of the entire Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. I'm in Daleville, Virginia and feeling on top of the world (yet surprisingly tired) for making it this far. That's the equivalent of walking the interstate from Birmingham, Alabama to Milwaukee, Minnesota. Let's do a people update to give you an … Continue reading AT Blog #3: Raindow Monkeys / Green Dogs / Talladega

Here I am in Damascus, Virginia. 463 miles complete; Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina complete; first section of the Appalachian Trail complete. So to kick things off, I think some people might be confused as to what the hell I'm doing exactly… So I'm going to do my best to explain. There are so many … Continue reading AT Blog #2: The Duck Walk / King Clinton / Interstate Camping
