Hey everyone! Like many thru hikers, this has been a goal of mine for a very long time. I just graduated college with a mechanical engineering degree and couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than 4-5 months strolling through the woods! I'm from NH and heading northbound with my younger brother. As my dad likes to tell people, they are dropping us off somewhere in GA and making us walk home. Thanks for following along!
