Craig U - ‘Early Bird’

After 30 years in Corporate America; taking a sabbatical to attempt an AT thru hike (NOBO). While by no means a thru hiker, my love of the outdoors and the AT have brought me here. I thought blogging this journey would be a good way to memorialize my thoughts and experiences.
