Hello there, hiking world, and welcome to my blog! I am Peter, from Baltimore, and I will be attempting a kinda frankenflop NOBO AT thruhike starting in March 2024. Joining me on this epic journey will be a college friend, Dave aka Straggles or, short-form, Strags. I am in the market for a new trail name, stay tuned to hear of the event(s) or antic(s) that will earn the bestowal of one. Like many hikers starting this in ‘24, this is a life-long dream and I am giddy – yes, giddy! – with anticipation. I will be providing my thoughts and experiences prior to, and on the trail. Be prepared for the occasional blog Take Over from Strags, who will offer his unfiltered thoughts and commentary to provide you with “Here’s What Really Happened”. Come on along for the ride!
