Trek Dirty to Me: 72 days until 2,193 miles of my life and I MAPPED IT ALL OUT!!!

January 20, 2020 by AJ Feeney-Ruiz in Appalachian Trail, Trek Dirty to Me, Projects

I finished mapping out my 175-day trekking plan for the Appalachian Trail after four straight days in research hell. But I have it for you in spreadsheet form so that you can offer your additions, ridicule, desire to join me for a walk or a meetup or anything in between. Highlights include 100 days of camping and accommodation in one (maybe two) cults, a strip club and a nudist colony.

Trek Dirty to Me: 74 days until the AT and I will miss this dad bod.

January 18, 2020 by AJ Feeney-Ruiz in AJ, Trek Dirty to Me, Appalachian Trail

While the dad bod has been a blast over the last few years of croissants and foie gras in Paris, my knees and back have cancelled that party and now it’s time to shake down the weight of the pack that is my gut. I’ll miss you bro.

Trek Dirty to Me: 75 days until I start walking to Maine...

January 17, 2020 by AJ Feeney-Ruiz in Appalachian Trail, Trek Dirty to Me, Travel, Projects, AJ

Seventy-five days out from kicking off my first (of hopefully three) thru-hike attempts over the next three years, and I’m trying to get my ass into shape on the other side of the world. To be more precise, I am in Goa, India (not Indiana), 8,678 miles (13,966 kms) from Amicalola Falls State Park, Georgia, USA - where I will begin my walk to Maine along the 2,200 mile (3,540 km) Appalachian Trail.

So what exactly is 'Trek Dirty to Me?'

August 18, 2019 by AJ Feeney-Ruiz in Trek Dirty to Me, Podcast, Projects, Travel, Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, Appalachian Trail, Bacon, Books, Bourbon, AJ, Adventures in Cheffing

What is ‘Trek Dirty to Me?’ It’s a project that I have been wanting to do for over a decade. In short, it is the complete thru-hiking of the Triple Crown of American hikes - the three major American Scenic Trails: The Appalachian Trail (AT), the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and the Continental Divide Trail (CDT).
