George Smith

Good morning! I’m George Smith, trail name Old Man. I’m 20 years old and from Shady Dale, GA. I spent three semesters at The University of Georgia before God called me out and onto the Appalachian Trail—a journey which changed me forever. My relationship with Christ drives my life always and now my feet on this journey. Join me in using the dirt to drive out the weakness.
