Day 57: Incredible Views & Thundershowers / CDT Thru-hike 2024
I intend to hike the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) in 2024 and will vlog my experience. Follow me under "Old Man and the CDT."
I am Mike Current, 61-years-old, and retired military. I served for over 30 years in the US Army.
After retirement, I opened two small businesses. But after a few years, I sold both businesses because they were taking time away from pursuing personal goals, like hiking and sailing.
I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in 2020 and Appalachian Trail (AT) in 2022. I vlogged (video journaled) my experiences under "Old Man and the PCT" and "Old Man and the AT", respectively.
I sailed around the Chesapeake Bay in my Tayana 37 sailboat over the summer of 2023 and vlogged the experience under the KZread channel "Old Man and the Sea."
I do not monetize my videos in any manner. However, if you would like to contribute to helping veterans thru-hike as a form of therapy for PTSD, please consider donating to Warrior Expeditions at warriorexpeditions.org/

Killer day! I love this series.
Wow! Mike, that is absolutely rivetingly beautiful scenery! I am glad you got Colorado rain without the lightning strikes, there's not much shelter up there. thanks for the inspiring video!
Incredible views
Your videos are very inspirational.
Two years ago, today, I enjoyed your Vlogs from the Appalachian Trail over a glass of red wine in Puglia in southern Italy. I am now enjoying them, also with a glass of wine, from Croatia. There is a pattern developing! Thanks again for the significant effort, or at least consumption of time, in preparing these astonishing videos. Some great footage of a moose, the other day.
Nice work today during adverse weather conditions.
Great work! Those were some great views!
whaouh !! How brave ! whatever the weather, you maintain courage and perseverance! well done
What a gorgeous day, even with the weather!🌧
The West Collegiate never fails to test the metal. Beautiful but weather is always ever present concern, or has been my case passing through on 2 separate occasions. Like your video format this time around too. Stay safe!
Still great views. Thanks 🦋❤️
24 is a great day
Nice views from the top of the world. Pleased you didn't get thunder n lightning this time.
Truly amazing that You & Your trail buddys can do that many miles under those conditions,,, On another note > According to the CDT Map I have You started Day 57 @ around Mi1103 & ended in the high 1120s ~
Gooooood morning!! Beautiful views Mike! Thank you!! You stay safe 😊
Spectacular. 24 miles of that terrain is unreal. Congrats on that day - and every day.
Good morning, Mike. Awesome views today. No thunder, that's great. Walking in the rain - not my favorite thing to do, but hey.. what can you do? It was neat to see you walking in the clouds. Too cool. All in all, not a bad day. Take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Hi Megan

Nice little tramily you have going there!
In the immortal words of John Fogerty “keep on chooglin’ “ ☺️😉 Happy Trails!
I didn't know porcupines climb trees.
Nice gaining that elevation, but not fun giving it back over and over.
Where is Early Bird from?
