Hey all, Guide here! A little about me, I attempted to thru hike the AT in 2025. I ended up running out of money about halfway through, it was a pretty decent attempt for my first long trail and first backpacking trip I'd ever went on; safe to say it turned into a LASH and I'm happy with how far I made it. I do have plans to go back and finish one day (hopefully sooner rather than later). But until then I hope you enjoy my blogs, I haven't written anything other than medical reports since high school; bear with me.
