- Long overdue photo dum from my Appalachian Trail attempt. I was going quite fast for a while, but overuse injuries have slowed me down. But I’ve made it from GA to the start of NH. 450 miles to go! #AppalachianTrail #AT2025 #thruhike #nature #hiking #camping
- Chapter 1 of the 8,000-mile Calendar Year Triple Crown just dropped. Enjoy! #CYTC #thruhiking #AT2025 #hiking #camping #nature youtu.be/pj8siSaXrAY?...

- The 8,000-mile hike draws closer. I see brutal days on the horizon, but memories remind me that the good days make the struggle worthwhile. #hiking #camping #nature #landscapes #mountains
- Before the Owens River was diverted by man, Owens Lake was full and lush. Afterwards, it became a dry, dusty basin. Due to early storms and high Sierra snowpack in early 2023, we were able to see it restored closer to its natural splendor last year. #PCT #hiking #thruhiking #lakes #nature
- Petroglyphs bridge the gap between the past and present like little else can. #Desert #NewMexico #petroglyphs #mountains
- Here’s the new logo for the upcoming YouTube channel. Hope you enjoy it.
