Introduction

Hi, I've been backpacking the Cohuttas since the late 80's. My favorite trails are "Rice Camp" and the infamous "Tearbritches Trail". I've done some section hiking on the AT and can't wait for the day I get to through hike it.

Please feel free to add any additional relevent comments

    Trail Name

    "Yes, thanks to Dmitry for my trail name Polar Bear. It replaced my previous trail name of "Smelly Sock Man" and "Sir Snores Allot". No, he didn't give me the name because of my bear like body fur, but rather because I like swimming in cold water."
