I'm Jenn (aka Sarge) and I thru-hiked the A.T. in 2015! I'm a Tennessee girl, but I currently live in Alabama (bleh, it's so flat). When I'm not slinging drinks, I often escape to Tennessee, Georgia, or North Carolina. Before I even finish one hike, I'm planning the next. My father claimed "chicken" was my first word. I find pepperoni pizza boring, but love pepperoni and cheese tortillas. I love reading about zombies at night while out in the woods. I psycho-analyze people when they don't even realize it is happening. 2017 holds The Wonderland Trail in the palm of my hand!

Today is my first official zero day. Yes, I've taken zero days for my family, Trail Days, and aquablazing. Yes, I've stayed in trail towns, but nerod

I Hate the Idea of You: The Challenge

We made it to Harpers Ferry and I almost cried! After checking in with the ATC, we shuttled ahead for trail magic in Maryland. The next morning was

Hiker Trash Turned River Rats

The idea of aquablazing has intrigued me from the start. It seemed like something that would be a nice change of pace to break up the hike a little

Let Me Tell You About The Bears And The Bees

Sometimes, I wish that when I started my thru-hike, I had known nothing about the trail. The hikers that have never stepped foot on the trail seemed

This post is extremely embarrassing to write, but this short story has to be told.... First off, I'm a pretty cocky hiker. I used to take pride in

To Answer Your Questions…

This post is more for my friends and family as opposed to the hiker world. Every time I call my mom, she has a question about how I do this or how I
