I did a presentation and in 40 minutes gave my life story, talked Walk The Parks, and shared some thoughts on goal setting. And I said “so, whatever” a lot, which is interesting. See video at… https://t.co/9sx1s4PSL9

This is Crush! This was his birthday at Walker Pass Campground, PCT mile 651.3. Our friendship is a good example of the crazy randomness that can sometimes occur while hiking. Crush did a 2-week section hike of the… https://t.co/VK0AIEOcP8

This is Wonder Woman! Not only does she have a great trail name, but she’s also a really cool person. I remember hanging out in Big Bear and you shared so kindly! A micro brew beer, and some sort of cheese dip (I… https://t.co/iqISidDDfo

This is Luko. I met him at a hostel in Big Bear, CA. Super nice, genuine guy. I really enjoyed all of our interactions, though they were sadly quite limited. I remember sitting in the corner room for hours and hours,… https://t.co/117KunGoPh

This was my home for the past 5 or so months. Most of the time I slept without the tarp so I could gawk at the beautiful stars. Pictured here is the ideal setup with two trees instead of stakes for the ridgeline of… https://t.co/7pZnk42pxR

In addition to finishing the PCT, I also reached my 30th a National Park! North Cascades National Park is spectacularly beautiful and I got to walk through it with some fresh snow up high. Walk The Parks has been… https://t.co/MbOZRgo87m
