This blogger is for a Business class at University of Delaware. I was "debating" writing about backpacking because there are two basic criteria for this blog; 1) I must be passionate about it, and 2) there must be enough to write about. I have concluded that the subject of backpacking does both of these for me and I believe it's a fairly interesting topic.
I Hope to cover many different aspects of backpacking and my experiences and future plans which involve the subject. I have hiked many miles with a rather heavy pack on my back, mostly on the Appalacian Trail, but also some in the Adorondac Mountains and a few other places. In addition to sharing these experiences, i want to help to inform my readers of some of the things that go into backpacking; from the mental aspect of it, the amazing sights to see, the equipment involved, places to hike, and different pro's and con's that come from backpacking. These topics are just a few of which i hope to cover.

For those of you who are commenting on my blog, please let me know things such as:
-your experience with hiking/backpacking
-what are your interests in it?
-what are some of the specifics that you want to find out about and/or want me to talk about

I will do my best to make my responses and my posts so that they answer your questions and keep your interest.
