Hiking Category Added to Blog

Besides robots, I really enjoy hiking and backpacking and since I have this blog anyway, I thought I would also post some hiking stuff as well.

If you didn’t know it, I completed the Appalachian Trail in 4 large “Chunk Hikes” and have my trail journal and pictures posted HERE.

Other outdoor adventures can be found HERE.

I was also a boy scout leader for years and have been to Philmont three times and have those logs posted.

Hope you enjoy this new category..if you are just interested in the hiking posts, just filter by category on the right side of the page.
