HEY THERE AND THANKS FOR VISITING MY SITE!

My name is Charlie and my adventure partner in that photo is my boy Gus. I grew up in Upstate New York at the base of the Adirondacks around Lake George and that's where my love for the outdoors started. I also lived in North Carolina, Arizona and have been in Maryland now for a while now. 

I always enjoyed day hiking and just spending time on water, exploring off-road trails, and camping. Life got busy, and while I still enjoyed the occasional day hike, I needed a change. So in the past few years I have gotten into mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, and camping just like when I was younger. 

I do NOT consider myself an expert in any of these areas, but while I am a planner and part of what I enjoy most of these activities is just the planning, discovery, and learning that goes into doing these adventures, my hope is to inspire, encourage, and help others to get out there and try something new! 

Part of these adventures is finding out more about yourself and what like, don't like, and most importantly what you are capable of! 

One of the things, I realized when starting these new experiences, was while there is a ton of content out on the internet on YouTube, Instagram, and other channels, there wasn't a lot of what I needed and I think there are more people like me out there, especially those in the mid-Atlantic area. 

So this site, is dedicated to all of you out there, looking to try something new, get out of your comfort zone, or simply just get some information on a day hike, overnight backpack and other stuff that I am passionate about and enjoy sharing. 

Please don't be shy, if there is anything I can do to improve this site please let me know below! 

Thanks!
