I'm really into the outdoors and have been since I was a teenager. My current obsession is 4-season backpacking and I log over 500 miles a year. When I'm not section hiking the Appalachian Trail, I roam around in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. I also maintain a hiking trail on the western face of Mt Washington.
