He was captivated by their tales of trekking the famous long trails of America, such as the Pacific Crest trail, the Appalachian trail, the Continental Divide trail, and others. When he moved to Idaho, he learned that there is a relatively new trail called the Idaho Centennial trail, which crossed the state from the Nevada border in the south to the northern panhandle. It is a trail system encompassing 1,200 miles, including the West and East Alternate routes. Ron has been hiking, backpacking, and camping in the outdoors of Idaho for twenty years. He overcame a history of asthma to successfully hike the Idaho Centennial Trail West Alternate Route, over a period of seven years, from 2004 to 2001. He holds bachelor’s degrees from Oklahoma State University and Barclay College. He lives and works in Idaho, has been married for thirty-plus years, has three sons and a daughter and three grandsons. He continues to pursue new hiking adventures in Idaho and beyond.visualizza meno
