Darryl Smith

Introduction:

"Relatively new "official" hiker. My goal is to hike the Buckeye Trail, and then portions of the AT. Have hiked at Cumberland Gap, Shawnee State Forest, and the Smoky Mountains, as well as numerous local locations."

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

"Well, now it has to be tearing a calf muscle at the Edge of Appalachia Preserve, and still doing another three miles on the bad leg."

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

"Perryville State Battlefield, Kentucky. Over six miles of trails there, but it's a few hours away. I have recently discovered the Cincy Nature Center and have found it an excellent place for local hiking."

What do you do for a living?

"Operations manager for a fulfillment company. Just a fancy way of saying I run a call center!"

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

"Southwestern Ohio, born and raised."

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

"Hiking, walking, camping, sojourns to battlefields and historic sites...hey, it DID say PG! :)"

Additional information:

"I think I have finally settled on a trail name...Cougar, or maybe Redhawk!"
