Nimblewill Nomad 2012
I just checked his website and thought some of you might be interested... NN plans to start the Ice Age Trail soon. http://www.nimblewillnomad.com/odyssey_2012_iat.htm
I met NN during my (and his, for that matter) '98 AT thru. Great guy, one hell of a hiker.
Don't take anything I say seriously... I certainly don't.
Very interesting!
Thought you might like an update: NN finished his hike of the Ice Age Trail in August. He soon began, and now has completed the New England Trail. That's all of them... the Nimblewill Nomad has hiked all 11 of the National Scenic Trails.
Thanks for the heads up!

That's awesome! Good for him. I'm impressed.
When I met him on the trail in 1998, he was a monster of a hiker. Easily could outhike me, even though I was in my early 20's, and he, well... wasn't. I'm not at all surprised he was able to complete all the trails.
Super nice guy, too.

His website is great, LOVE the full disclosure on gear lists, if those are not gold nuggets don't know what is.....................he really kicks ass!
Make me want to grow out my gray hair.
Thanks for the update! Has really inspired lots of hikers (me included) over the years. Way to go NN!!
His book "Ten Million Steps" is a really good read. Every page has a poem from him or a qoute.

Is NN the only one to hike all 11 NST? If not-- anyone have any info on the other hikers who have done
all 11 NST's? Haven't heard/read anything about this. Don't know if it is a few or a lot. It is a magnificient
achievment. Congrats to NN!
According to his website, he's the second. Bart Smith did it first.Originally Posted by Just Jack
