Hi everyone! My name's A.J. and I'm hiking the Appalachian Trail this year.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, my parents took me and my siblings on a roadtrip through the Smoky Mountains. I remember walking up Clingman's Dome and my dad telling me about thru-hikers for the first time. I remember my 10 year old self thinking how crazy people must be for wanting to walk all the way from Georgia to Maine. Fast forward to now and after completing college, military service, and working a mediocre job, I've found there's nothing else I'd rather be doing this year.
Join me for the ride as I share the stupid things I do and enjoy the trip of a lifetime!
