It’s #tattoo season! Fresh #ink by the very talented @noalox Thanks buddy! Lovin’ it!❤️

Got me some fresh #ink by the very talented @noalox Solid work per usual and always awesome to see y’all! Thanks buddy! I’m lovin it!

44 miles in 17 hours (15 hours if you exclude all the breaks) with 7 hours to spare! 🤘 I finally got to complete the Four State Challenge on the #appalachiantrail About three years ago, I started treatment for my osteopenia 🦴. I’m grateful that I haven’t had a single fracture since, and that I can continue to do what I love! ❤️ This also wraps up our “One Year Section Triple Crown!”😂 We’ve hiked a section of the #continentaldividetrail (200 miles), #pacificcresttrail (22 miles), and now the #at Hammer down! 🔨 👇

Tuesday, September 8th, 2020 - That’s a wrap! 🤘 Dirty. Smelly. Satisfied! The #tahoerimtrail delivered, and we finished just in time! Today, we met some hikers that were forced off trail by officials due the the #wildfires 🔥 Sad to say goodbye to our trail brother, Dr. Thunder, and to our time on the west coast. Back to the grind til next year! 😭

The Desolation Wilderness was friggin’ amazing! Sadly, our hike would be coming to an end soon after, but this was a damn good send-off!

#nofilter No, really. That’s the color of the sky brought to you by the wild fires. 🔥 We took a nero day in South Lake so I could recover. Still incredibly dehydrated and ill. 😵 I feel like I’m having a multi-day hangover, and I don’t even drink anymore! This was what the trail looked like when we returned, and it was raining ash.

I was still severely dehydrated from the day before after an uncomfortable night at Heavenly. I drank as much water as I could stomach, but was only able to eat a meat and cheese stick during the 25 miles we hiked. On the bright side, we crossed the state line back into #california , I cooled off in #starlake , and it was beginning to look more and more like the #sierras 😍

We climbed to the highest point of the Tahoe Rim Trail, and the sky was clear for most of the day, but the smoke rolled back through later. So sadly, we missed out on Sand Harbor Overlook 😓The next day was a super dry stretch. I underestimated the 15 mile stretch after the water cache, which wound up being a very exposed section. Heat exhaustion and sun poisoning is no joke! I’m posting this days late, and I’m still suffering😵

Stoked the smoke cleared so we could see the lake as we started our first full day on the #tahoerimtrail We crossed the border into Nevada and entered the Mt. Rose Wilderness where we camped at Grey Lake for the night. A good start to a new trail if you ask me!
