Meet "Hike America: Alabama" 

Author Joe Cuhaj

Joe Cuhaj is an Alabama transplant, having grown up in Mahwah, New Jersey, near the Harriman / Bear Mountain state parks where his love of hiking and the outdoors began. 

Joe, his wife Maggie, daughter Kellie, their two dogs, cat, and horse, live in Daphne, Alabama, just east of Mobile, on the Gulf Coast. Joe is a full-time systems programmer for a local company, but finds frequent visits to area wildlife refuges, wetlands, and Oak Mountain State Park solace from the keyboard. Joe also enjoys canoeing the many rivers of the state as well as bike riding. 

Joe and co-writer Curt Burdick are currently penning another book, “PADDLING ALABAMA” for Falcon Books featuring a variety of water adventures in the state from sea-kayaking to family float trips to whitewater river running.


The book is due out September 2002.
