About Casey and Lily

 

Casey Horrigan was once well known for running the independent record label Iodine Recordings based out of Boston, MA and also as the front man for the mid-90’s punk band Agent 84. In 2003 Iodine Recordings went bankrupt and forced Casey to close the business and leave his home in Boston. With no where to turn he followed his biggest passion, the mountains. In 2004, only six months after he lost everything he started hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. In the 6 ½ months that he was on the trail his life changed day by day. When he returned home he decided to stay connected with the mountains and took a job working in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire as a Backcountry Caretaker and Environmental Educator. Shortly after relocating to NH he met Lily, a one year old Beagle-German Shepherd mix. It was love at first site, and Lily became his companion in all his adventures (save a few). Over the 3 years of living in the White Mountains Casey and Lily spent much time hiking and climbing all of the peaks in the range and completed the 48 highest peaks in New England. After accomplishing this Casey took off to Nepal for three months to explore the Himalayas and to immerse into the Nepali Culture. Casey is now back home with Lily planning out their next great adventure.
