Hey, I'm Vinny AKA "Slice", I'm 25 and currently living a very cold life in Chicago. I sit in a cubicle all day, wearing business casual. I'm about as far from an Eagle Scout as you can get. And for reasons beyond my understanding, I feel an insatiable urge to hit the trail and hike the AT in 2016. Join me for shenanigans and tomfoolery, won't you?
