Day 7 (mile 125.4) After arriving at the hostel the night before they asked me if I would like to be dropped off where I was picked up or at Winding Stair Gap (10 miles ahead). They kindly mentioned that because where I was picked up was out of the way, to be dropped back…

Day 5 (mile 81.2): Before I fell asleep, I did my normal pre sleep ritual where I hang my bag on the pegs in the shelter. The reason you do that is to avoid the mice from crawling near your face while they are sniffing the bags for any food. However another hiker had a…

Day 0: Like all great adventures, this trip started with lack of sleep and pushing through some pre trail anxiety. Anxiety about every little thing that can and might go wrong. After a bit I silenced the what ifs, and by the bright time of 3am, I was off to Logan with Logan being my…

So here we are, after years of saying, maybe next year. I am finally within a month of my start date of my attempt of the Appalachian Trail. As I sit here at home reflecting on what is ahead of me in the next 5 months, it’s hard to not get caught up in the…

The work can be a bit monotonous at times but my coworkers, upper management, and the company culture have been unmatched. I can truly…

On May 27, I completed my thru-hike of the Midstate Trail in Massachusetts. But instead of calling it quits, I decided to tack on an extra challenge: the North-South Trail. This 77-mile trail begins at the end of the Midstate Trail in Douglas State Forest and ends at Blue Shutters Beach on the Atlantic Ocean…

Thru-Hiking the Midstate Trail: Mud, Miles & A Little Tom Petty Wisdom From May 24 to May 27, I thru-hiked the Midstate Trail, a 92-mile trail running through central Massachusetts. I had given myself five days to finish it, but thanks to some unexpectedly big-mile days, I wrapped it up a bit quicker than planned (and…

Discovering the Trail Beneath My Feet Last year, I completed my first thru-hike. I hiked the entire 273 miles of Vermont’s Long Trail. For those unfamiliar, a thru-hike is typically defined as hiking the full length of a trail in a single season. The Long Trail tested me physically and mentally, and left me wondering,…
