Day 1 Morning thru hiker class at the Visitor Center covering necessary things like hygiene, proper use of bear bags and pooping in cat holes. I passed. Started Springer Mt at 11 am. Rain started by 2:30 walked for two hours in the rain and set up camp in the rain. “Some people feel the rain and others just get wet” Bob Marley. Thor made an impressive run at us all night.

About Frank

Frank, a Father of 3, Papa of 7 never sits still for long! He is passionate about exploring and conquering new quests and is always looking forward to the next one!

In 2019, Frank embarked on his life long dream of hiking the AT, which he accomplished over a 5 month period! Just over a year later, in November 2020, he spent 8 weeks biking from San Diego, CA to New Smyrna Beach, FL.

Ten months after returning home, in November of 2021, Frank was diagnosed with a rare form of Lymphoma. The outlook was not promising, but Frank prevailed and is doing better than ever! It was one more conquered quest , albeit unplanned. 

He is now embarking on a canoe trip along the Missouri River and will be raising money and awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
