I'm Bob, and I'm Thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail! I currently work at REI but in my off-time I enjoy spending my time in the outdoors hiking, trail running, golfing, or even just sitting on the beach.

Please join me on the greatest adventure of my life, my 2018 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike! Don't forget to check me out on YouTube at Bob's Outdoor Life!
