Introduction

I like to go hiking and backcountry camping. I've gone to the Smokies every year, have been to most of the big national parks in the states, as well as the Canadian Rockies.

What is your favorite thing to do in the outdoors? (keep it rated PG, your mother might read this)

Multi day Hike / Camp.

Where are you from? (if you've lived lots of places, list them)

Cincinnati, West Side (so yes I'm a traitor)

What do you do for a living?

Used to be in I.T., now I'm an E.R. Nurse. Talk about a wild and crazy career change!

What is your favorite place to hike in the Cincinnati / Tri-State area?

Cincinnati Nature Center, Miami Whitewater, Sharon Woods, Woodland Mound (Frisbee Golf).

What is your craziest hiking memory (or "have you ever been chased by a bear")

Being woken up at Cumberland at 03:00 by a deer "attacking" our tent. After screaming at the deer to scare it away, I opened up my damaged tent to see a deer scrambling around with a Dorito's bag stuck on its head. The tent next door left food out!
