Keith "Badger" Selbo is a writer and ultra-light backpacking enthusiast who likened hiking the Appalachian Trail to a cruise without the encumbrance of a ship. As with a cruise, he enjoyed the company of people from a broad cross section of humanity, and happily downed copious quantities of food, which unlike on an ocean cruise, he could do without any concern for his waistline.
The Badger lives in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where he is a trail overseer, working to keep his section of the Tuscarora Trail open and safe.
