Camping started at an early age for me as both my parents and grandparents were outdoor enthusiasts. My first memory is hiking in Maine at about 6 yrs old. Day hiking and car camping kept me busy until my 40s. Then I discovered backpacking.

​

I've thru-hiked the STS (Susquehannack Trail System); an 83 mile loop in north central PA. I've completed the Allegheny East Trail in central PA; a 42 mile loop. One of my "go-to" places is the Dolly Sods Wilderness Area in WV.

​

This year (2021), I hiked the first 167.5 miles of the Appalachian Trail, including the 7.8 mile Approach Trail. I've done overnights on the A.T. from Springer Mtn to Port Clinton, PA.

​

Currently, I'm working on reducing my pack weight further. I hope to thru-hike the entire A.T. in either 2022 or 2023. From there, I hope to do both the PCT and the CDT. If all goes well, I may even try the North Country Trail.

​

Also on the bucket list is a visit to all of the national parks.
