David Somers

My name is David. On the trail I'm called Doolittle.I'm a hiker, blogger, runner, brewer, gardener, gamer, rancher, deacon, father, husband...and mediocre at all of them! I live my wife and several hundred animals on a 10-acre ranch in Florida where we try to keep each other happy.If you are interested the first half of my PCT thru-hike (curtailed by fire), check out my blog at http://www.wanderingdave.com.
