Hiking

I first started really to enjoy hiking and backpacking when I lived in Denver after college. Currently, I'm chipping away at the Appalachian Trail one section hike at a time.

May 18-21, 2004: Dennis Cove to Highway 91
My first AT section hike.
June 24-26, 2005: Highway 91 (Shady Grove, TN) to Damascus, VA
After having to leave the trail last year at Highway 91, I wanted to finish my planned trip to Damascus.
August 18-19, 2005: Carver's Gap to US-19E
I wanted to take Caitlin on a section of the AT. We walked a total of 13.7 miles from Carver's Gap on the TN/NC border to the AT crossing of US 19-E in TN.
March 4-5, 2011: I-40 to Max Patch Road
I started a hike toward Hot Springs from I-40 at Waterville, but left the trail at Max Patch Road.
November 11-13, 2011: Max Patch Road to Hot Springs, NC
Three and a half months after a bowel resection, I finished the hike to Hot Springs that I had abandoned in March.
Selected Species Observed
