SGT Rock
Ernest Engman is a hiker and family man from East Tennessee who is better known in the hiking community as "SGT Rock." Sarge is a career military man who just completed his second tour in Iraq. He is also one of the driving forces behind Whiteblaze.net, which is a website that focuses on the Appalachian Trail. He is also a trail maintainer along the Benton MacKaye Trail in the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness in North Carolina.
On Tuesday October 2, Sarge and I sat down for a 26-minute interview about a wide range of topics related to trails and hiking. In addition to discussing volunteerism, we discussed his upcoming thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. To follow along on Sarge's upcoming hike, you can visit his online trail journal. This hike will be unique, Because Sarge will use the 300-mile Benton MacKaye Trail between Springer Mountain, GA and Davenport Gap at the north end of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Enjoy the interview!
