Jerry CrampPa Tillman
My name is Jerry. I am a chronologically gifted 68 year old Grandpa from Minnesota. I am embracing the opportunity of attempting to thru-hike the PCT in 2024. This is a bucket list dream of my 17 year old self that my wife is graciously supporting. I am honored to be walking on the same tread as one of my sons (PCT Thru Hiker) and daughter (JMT Thru Hiker) both in 2015. Needless to say; I'm stoked!
