My name is Bones (he/him/his). This is my second year as a Ridgerunner on the Appalachian Trail and I will be thru-hiking the A.T. SOBO Aug 2024. Over the course of my career I have worked for/with various environmental conservation agencies including Maryland State Parks, Maryland Conservation Corps., U.S. Forest Service, Appalachian Conservation Corps., and the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club. Trails are my life. (Follow my adventures on Instagram @theboneskeleton)
