Fresh Start

After three years of exploring and backpacking the trails and forests of the mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia), I'm moving on.  With my transfer to Riga, Latvia this month, I aim to hit the trails and forests of my new Baltic terrain.

Gone will be the well-maintained and researched trails that I am used to.  Gone too will be the experienced ultralight backpackers with whom I've shared countless trail miles.

My initial plan is to discuss and research the national parks and forest environs of Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania, as well as to undertake some exploratory hikes.  My gear and vehicle will not arrive for a couple months yet, so the real backpacking of the year will have to wait.
