About

Hi! My name is Michael, but you can call me Gummies. I grew up a Hoosier in Indianapolis, Indiana and in 2017 I thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. That summer completely altered the trajectory of my life. I met my partner Kristin (but you can call her Glowworm), immigrated to Canada, and am still discovering ways in which the PCT changed me forever. I now reside in Halifax, Nova Scotia as a Bluenoser with my wife and rabbit, Cordelia.

This blog is a collection of my personal journals, documenting adventures on foot, by bike, and perhaps one day by boat, skis, or anything else I can come up with. Follow along with my sometimes insightful, occasionally amusing, but mostly blatantly sarcastic and bullshit ramblings from life on the trail.

P.S. If you happen to remember my password to Gummies Does Things, please let me know. Because that's why this blog exists.
