About
Just a lover of the wild places.
- Favorite areas: Citico Wilderness, Slickrock Winderness, Laurel-Snow and North Chickamauga Pocket Wilderness areas, Shoshone National Forest, The Tetons, etc...
- Experience:
Hiking and backpacking in the Appalachian and Cumberland mountains since childhood. Also some white water boating, canoeing, trail running, vertical rope work, bouldering, caving, and fishing. Wilderness and primitive survival are also great interests.
