Some lovely dogwood flowers along my walk this afternoon. #urbanwalk #springhassprung #pdx #nopo #neverstopmoving
It’s always a bittersweet time to leave at the end of a great event and Trail Days this year was just that. It’s a ton of work being in the booth for 12-14hours a day, but getting to see old friends from the AT to the CDT and even years ridge running is always amazing. The hiker parade is always a fun break on Saturday and I even had a fellow class of ‘96er there to hold up the banner with me. Until next year stay dirty and stinky hiker nation. #dirtbag #workhardplayhard #traildays2022 #damascus #thruhiker
Decided to run back up to the Catawba Valley for a hike up Dragon’s Tooth and then a MT Bike ride at Carvin’s Cove. Thanks for the views and all the flowers.![]()

Not the nicest weather for a day hike, but it was still great to visit an old friend while traveling for work. #swva #appalachiantrail #nostalgia #hiking #montbell #point6
We couldn’t make it to retrieve the shed I found while hiking because we ran out of road and it was too far in (see pic 2). However we did get a surprise of the Pie-o-Ne’er in Pie Town, NM being open again and we grabbed some treats for later tonight. ![]()

It’s been a wild hike through the Black Range of NM. Saw no other hikers in 9 days, hiked cairn to cairn high on the divide for days, and experienced amazing remote beauty. What a gift to get to revisit the CDT and see some new trail along the way. Come say hi this weekend in Silver City if you’re around. #bravethecdt #hikertrashforlife #highcountry #backpacking #sixmoondesigns #point6 #montbell #sawyer
6 years ago today I started the CDT and now I’m on a section hike through the black range #montbell #point6 #sawyer #justkeephiking
