The Trail So Far

I'm an avid long-distance hiker from Arkansas with over 840 miles of thru-hiking experience across three major trail systems. In 2026, I'm taking on the Appalachian Trail from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mount Katahdin, Maine.

This site documents my journey: past adventures, current preparation, and the field guide built for the AT.
