Hi, I'm Dave, an avid outdoorsy guy who loves to hike and just be outdoors. I am also a guy who will hike the Appalachian Trail in 2024!
My first hiking experience was with a friend and his grandfather about 45 years ago. While it was a mild climb up to the top of Big Blue Hills in Massachusetts, I will never forget it.
After years of day hiking parts of the AT in the White Mountains in New Hampshire, I'll finally have my chance to hike the entire route from Georgia to Maine.
This blog is my research for my thru-hike. Everything from my training in the White Mountains to the gear I chose. It's a way to document and share what I learn. So, when I step onto the trail in March of 2024 I will be ready...and hopefully, you will be ready too!
Thanks for stopping by, maybe we'll meet on the trail!
