Day 3: Mountain Crossings

I intend to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail (AT) in 2025 and will vlog my experience. Follow me under "Old Man and the AT." I am Mike Current, 62-years-old, and retired military. I served for over 30 years in the US Army. After retirement, I opened two small businesses. But after a few years, I sold both businesses because they were taking time away from pursuing personal goals, like hiking and sailing. I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in 2020, the Appalachian Trail (AT) in 2022, and the Continental Divide Trail in 2024, earning my Triple Crown. I vlogged (video journaled) my experiences under "Old Man and the PCT," "Old Man and the AT," and "Old Man and the CDT," respectively. I sailed around the Chesapeake Bay in my Tayana 37 sailboat over the summer of 2023 and vlogged the experience under the YouTube channel "Old Man and the Sea." I do not monetize my videos in any manner. However, if you would like to contribute to helping veterans thru-hike as a form of therapy for PTSD, please consider donating to Warrior Expeditions at https://warriorexpeditions.org/
