    Most definitely. Another really nice trail that’s near here is the Laurel Snow Pocket Wilderness outside of Dayton. The trail is a bit shorter but it’s really neat.

    Thanks. I’ve watched just about all of your videos. They’re a lot of what motivated me and prepared me for this.

    Great job getting out there and doing it. I like how you picked distances and elevation that would let you get a taste of the trail but not overly committed.

    And the pics look great. Some nice looking swimming holes.

    Great first trip!

    By the name of the Hollow on the map, I would have thought it was from the '60s!

    Great pics and it's awesome that you got outside and got to it. I have the BCUSA 10x12 tarp still and I know what you mean by heavy. That 1.9oz/70D material ain't light. It's next on my list for Jared to replace but since I have to buy two of everything so it's taking time. George is really going to be liking me by the end of the year when I finish ordering six more quilts lol. I made my pack lighter only to fill it back up this last trip and it was 31.7lbs. Way too heavy and caused a zero day. I'm not making that mistake again. Currently I'm at 20.48lbs for a winter set up and I'm trying to get it down five more pounds. It will take some time and cash but you'll get it to where your pack and gear are just where you want them to be and be able to enjoy it more. It's a journey that we all go through. You did far better than me on the mileage my friend. I really liked the picture of the wavy rocks in the stream. That is so cool. Keep em coming !
