Justin Dieter's Bio

My name is Justin also called Uncle Iroh, or Iroh on the trail. I attempted a thru hike in 2023 but old military wounds got in the way up in New Hampshire so I had to call it quits before things got worse. What my hike did do was help me change course in my life and now I'm in school for nursing. There are plenty of shorter hikes I plan on doing between now and my next attempt at one of the "Big Three." for 2025 the goal is the BMT (Benton MacKaye Trail) follow me on my adventures!
