Get Paid $20,000 to Hike the Appalachian Trail and Party Along the Way
A brewery wants to pay someone $20,000 to hike the Appalachian Trail and throw some major parties. Is this real life?
Devils Backbone, a Virginia brewery, is searching for their next “Chief Hiking Officer,” and the job description includes hiking the trail, documenting your journey and throwing a few parties and bashes while you’re on the trail. In turn, you’ll get hiking gear and $20,000.
While much of the Appalachian Trail is currently closed, hopefully next year will bring new opportunities to hike it.
