When it all started

Thursday, July 27, 2023

I dreamed about the trail last night. I don’t think that will ever stop.

Seven years ago today I first set foot on the Appalachian Trail. I had no idea what that day would set off for me: a lifelong love of long trails.

I had been hiking regularly for 3 years at that point, but something about seeing that white blaze in Massachusetts sparked a feeling in my soul.

A lot of people don’t seem to understand this dream, and that’s ok, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop trying. I love being out in nature and it is good for my soul.

I hope everyone can find something in life that stirs them the way long trails stir me.
