Rylee G

I’m Rylee! I’m 25 years old and on the AT NOBO this year after having hiked The Camino Frances in 2024. You may know me from throwing up in the cloisters of Durham Cathedral, being Kammerer Middle school’s 2nd chair trumpet player, building the axolotyl exhibit at the Scoville Zoo, or forgetting all the words to Owl City’s “Fireflies” at my elemantary school talent show.

A Thru Hike? In This Economy?

I don’t know if its self sabotage, cognitive dissonance, or just shear idiocy that has led me to save up all of the money I’d need to pay off
