A Flatlanders blog on preparing for and adventuring in the mountains

This blog is geared towards all of the awesome climbers, adventures, and lovers of mountains who find themselves living far from the big mountains. Lets all face it we cant all live in a trendy mountain town like Boulder, Jackson Hole, or Lone Pine. The fact of the matter is that many times life happens elsewhere #mountainflatlander

Taking a well earned rest day today. Yesterday was a great day on the trail. I started at RT 16 in Waynesboro PA at the start of Michaux SF and made my way 42 mile over rocky trails to Pine Grove Road and the end of Michaux State forest. It was great to have @faith_runs_trails @sef_22_ and baby Maren to meet me at the finish. I almost gave up around mile 20 after 10 miles of torrential rain and cold temps but after the rain changed to snow around Big Flat I decided to keep going. The sun came out at Pine Grove Furnace and I picked up the pace to the finish. I passed so many great spots with awesome memories. Bonus I was able to grab the FKT by about 30min. I think without having to change layers a few times and dealing with wet rock and leaves I could go sub 9hours. But thanks to Robin and @faith_runs_trails for the shuttles. #trainingforultra

Photo dump alert!! 🚨 Michaux State Forest has always been a special place for me. I went on my first backpacking trip there with @tjdye and @tydyler , I took Calvin, Enzo, and @faith_runs_trails on their first backpacking trips there. I have spent countless hours on long runs and hikes there with many different friends. And have even had climbed there at Pole Steeple. It’s a beautiful place with endless opportunities for all types of exploring. One objective that has been intriguing to me is to run the entire length of the Appalachian Trail in Michaux SF. The rock strewn AT runs for 42+ miles and over many steep climbs through the state forest. It passed a bunch of shelters, parks, and is really technical running in spots. This weekend I am going to attempt to run it all in a day. I will start before sunrise in Waynesboro and make my way all the way to Pine Grove Rd in Hunters Run PA a few miles past Pine Grove Forest SP. It should be a relaxing day in the woods. Hopefully Cals around to guide me on some of the sections we did together. Stay tuned for story updates and enjoy the photo dump of many years of exploring in Michaux. #run

Perfect fall evening for paddling the Wye with Jack Man. Jack is such a good boy in the Canoe! Not bad for a shelter dog who got returned 3 times before we found him 😂. #canoeing

Picture 1 - The face you make when the @packers miss 3 potential game winning field goals and need another to win. Picture 2 - when they actually make one to get the W in OT. #greenbaypackers

Super impressed with how far @jpiotrowski34 has come with trail running! Ran 12 beautiful miles with Jeff this morning and then 10 more solo miles after lunch. It was great to be back at White Clay. We even got to see some of the XC racing going on.

Took a break from diaper duty for a quick jaunt up to the Wye Island Bridge on the SUP. Snapped this shot drifting with the falling tide back towards my house. #sup
