Hours. That’s the amount of time it took for someone to ask me which trail (Appalachian and Pacific Crest) I liked better and which was harder upon finishing my Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike.  It’s not something you can easily explain to someone who’s never done either. Rocks, roots, mud, humidity, ticks, leaches, and mosquitoes are what you’ll find on the [...]

It’s my hope that my blog will cover all my outdoor adventures in one place. If your a runner, cyclist, hiker, or general adventurist, then you will hopefully enjoy this blog. Since my focus has changed from cycling to

Even though this is an old trail report I wanted it here on my post as a reference for you the reader. I started on a Friday night around 6:30 pm, Labor Day Weekend.  My first goal was to reach Trap Pass, 13 miles in to my hike.  I arrived at Trap Pass around 10:30 PM and was asleep by [...]

As you can see this is the end of my trip. Come back soon and I’ll start a new blog about everything and nothing. I haven’t really thought about it yet. Hopefully it will be entertaining and fun.

This is me just after I finished! 161 days, 4829 miles traveled in total. I’m back baby!
