I had the corporate IT job day after day but it wasn't fulfilling. After finding out about solo long distance backpacking I decided to go on a lot of long backpacking trips and otherwise live out of my converted 4Runner. Driving around this great country and see everything I feel like seeing, mostly outdoor activities, is what I really wanted to do.
In 2018 I thru hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, in 2019 I thru hiked the Wonderland Trail, in 2021 I thru hiked the Arizona Trail, and now in 2022 I will be thru hiking the Appalachian Trail.
Please join me as I spend the rest of my life exploring this great country!
Any support always appreciated!

Check out Spotter's song! She wrote the lyrics and had AI generate the melody and voice. Pretty amazing really. If you have or want to hike the Appalachian Trail someday you will love it!

We've been driving through Canada heading to Alaska so I'm a wee bit behind on videos. Part 1 of our trip comes out tomorrow though! We have had so many firsts along this trip so far already that it's been a very memorable trip. Hope everybody is doing great!

We are back online again! Before this gap we were extremely busy so didn't get videos edited but starting Sunday the videos will resume non stop. Here's a photo of what's to come... is it my photo or did I borrow it from someone? In about 12 days you'll find out!

No video today, folks. There won't be another for almost a week while we finish up our hikes. We can see Katahdin from where I am now!
In the next video I hurt myself slipping on a wet root and it got worse day by day. The 2nd photo is during my zero in Monson. It swelled up pretty badly and had me concerned. Now though we are still hiking and we reduced our daily miles a little so we will likely summit on Saturday morning.
Stay tuned for more videos!

We are still chugging along in Maine and both feeling well. Both of us have some residual coughing fits so we tell anybody that wants to camp near us that we may be a little loud all night. Other than that we have 220.4 miles to go!

Sorry, no video today, everybody. Tina and I arrived in Damascus today and we spent the whole day getting chores done and driving.
Next video will be tomorrow at the same bat time and same bat channel!

Wow, 2 million views! It was only in January that I broke the 1 million count so that's insane! Thank you, everybody for watching! I hope you continue to enjoy every one. I'll continue to work hard to make sure you get your time's worth.

Tina is here! We're at an AirBnB for a week staying warm and she's feeding me well.
Because today's video will comprise 2 days, due to a zero at Station at 19E, I will have a livestream Monday afternoon at 5:00pm Eastern Daylight time. Come join if you can!

Look, I'm yellow blazing! This is on day 40. Can you guess where I was? Let's just say I didn't plan on going here that morning but some day hikers convinced me the 1 mile one way detour was worth it.
