Hi I'm Jacob! This spring, I’m looking to go on a long walk through the southwestern landscapes of the Arizona Trail! Still ironing out the kinks on this whole thru-hiking thing, but (to use a hoary cliché) it really is all about the journey not the destination, the kinks will never be ironed out and nor would I want them to be. Excited to see what misadventures await, buy the ticket, take the ride!
