Introduction
Greeting all, I am a Cincinnati resident and mostly hike the Gorge (Red River Gorge). Actually I have pretty much hiked all of it including a lot of off path hikes. Unfortunately I don't get to hike as much as I would like to but hopefully...
What was your most embarrassing backpacking moment?

well uhh.... lets see I was looking for a secluded place to ... well you know what... well I wandered far away from camp to go and as I was pulling down my pants a whole bunch of people started yelling off a cliff with a nice view.... of me!

What's the longest backpacking trip you've ever taken? (in mileage and/or days)

I did a 4 day hike of the AT.

What was your funniest backpacking moment?

I was hiking during the winter and my friends hung icicles on my pack unknown to me so I hiked a lot of icicles for miles.

What was your favorite backpacking experience?

My friends and I hike the Gorge in January when the temp dropped below 10. It snowed and the Gorge was beautiful.

Please relate, in general terms, your backpacking experience.

I have hiked about 3 dozen times. Mostly weekend trips.
