I am Mike Current, 57-years-old, and retired military. I served for over 30 years in the US Army. After retirement, I opened two small businesses. I am hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in 2020. I will be vlogging (video journaling) my experience for The Trek. Follow me on my journey. Subscribe to my videos or Facebook page under Old Man and the PCT 2020 or my Instagram at oldmanandthepct.
