I've been day hiking at least once a week for the past couple of years and love a bit of climbing. I'm an early riser, healthy eater, and a relatively high-energy individual. I work in tech, behind a computer screen all day, so getting outdoors is always exciting to me. Looking for hidden gems (trails), hiking buddies, and tips for hiking in bear country.

Welcome to the community! Very glad to have you here! :)

Where are you from?

I, too, work behind a computer and hundreds of camera screens (Surveillance Technician), so the outdoors is my escape!

I'm from NY, about an hour north of the city. Currently living in the south since summer 2023. After reading a bit on your blog, I think I'll plan a trip to Shawnee National Forest this August. Thanks for the useful content! Do you recommend blogging?

I do recommend blogging :)

I have an entire blog about blogging, too.


And you'd love the Shawnee National Forest! We have so much to do here!
