First blog post…ever.

Hey friends and family! 

Welcome to my first blog post. I'm not entirely sure how much I'll be writing here, being a visual person I imagine the instagram feed is where the magic will happen. But I will have some time alone with my thoughts in the wilderness and maybe on occasion one will be worth putting down. 

I hope that you enjoy what ever ramblings I come up with and that the photos bring you to a place of serenity, or at least grateful that you're not the idiot walking over 2,000 miles in the rainy and bug-invested forest for 6 months.

So why the Appalachian Trail you might ask. I don't know entirely, it's just one of those things that you can only explain with a, why the hell not? Regardless of the why, the A.T. has called to me and I'm lucky enough to have the funds, fitness, attitude and greatest lady in the world supporting me to go boots deep into this endeavor. And as a romantic, I hope that stripping away my modern day lifestyle will help me cherish life and all the small things just a little more. 

Looking forward to sharing my adventure with you. Until next time.
