My hiking poles were donated by my buddy Seth. They have Johnson etched on the nice cork handles, so I guess that’s my starting trail name until I earn one on the trail.

This is “Just Johnson’s” blog site for his hike on the Appalachian Trail.

My dad, Jim, taught me and my buddies how to backpack in high school. Our first trip was hiking the swamp highway to Avery Island, LA. We broke our boots in… I have always wanted to hike Georgia to Maine since my dad and I tackled the Georgia portion during spring break my senior year in college.
