Hi! My name is Charles. I live in Montgomery, AL. I have been a backpacker for almost 13 years. My love for the outdoors started when I was a young chap in the Boy scouts. However in the past few years I have rarely made my way into the wilderness, much to my dismay. Life got busier as I got older and none of my friends are into the outdoors like I am.

I have recently felt that something is missing from my life and the outdoors and backpacking is the missing piece! It seems like your organization is very active. I hope to start getting involved and making trips very soon!

Maybe the forum should have a section for introductions?

i've been lax in visiting the forum (or doing much of anything) recently, but there will be an area for that in the future. there are a few changes i plan to discuss with Ben as far as different areas of the forum.

stay tuned!
