My name is Nick. On trail, I go by Hot Foot. In 2023, I attempted a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail and successfully thru hiked the Vermont Long Trail. This year (2024), I will be returning to Georgia to thru hike the entire Appalachian Trail. You can usually find me leaving town with enough town food to make it to the next one (it's not extra weight if it's tasty).
