Hey folks! As many here are, I'm a long time lurker finally getting in on the fun. I'm originally from northwest Ohio, I did four years in the Navy, and now I'm living in Connecticut. I've always had a passion for nature, a knack for adventure, and a drive to do things my way, with the confidence to do them on my own if that should be required. I just came back from a 40-day stint wandering the highways and byways of the US, a trip I did with no plan or schedule as a way to detach from the ridged structure I knew in the Navy, and which I payed for but playing music in the bars and restaurants and street corners of this beautiful nation. This summer I'm planning a 40-day mostly-solo trip to the BWCA (can't you tell I have a thing for the 40-day trips?), which is most of the reason I finally came out of hiding. Pardon me if I end up picking everyone's brain at some point, that's what I'm here for; to access the massive wealth of knowledge which the members of this forum hold.
Looking forward to interacting with you all!
