Lance Ness's Bio

Howdy. I’m Backwards Hat aka Lance Ness. In 2018, I hiked over 1500 miles from Springer Mt to CT/Mass border in 90 days. This season, I'm back to finish those miles! Mt K, here I come! If you followed my journey via Instagram, then you know more about me than this blog displays. I am the worst blogger in 2018 but my IG was updated daily! Since I am off trail, I have some veteran insight while still pursuing my goal of completing the AT. Im currently living in Tucson AZ, in a 28' camper with my fiancé and our 2 rescue dogs (Carter and Ruthie). I am section hiking the Arizona Trail and other local trails in my down time.

    Smokey Mountain Diner.

    Great food and service from locals who like to hike and love hikers. And, the SMD is only 21 steps from the AT!

    Not sure if you’re counting B+B’s but the 1/4 way inn set the bar high early on, and wasnt surpassed.
