Duncan Ridge Trail (GA) any news on recent conditions, especially water?

Hey Carl, I loved it!

That said, I do hope to do the loop again sometime, and slow down and take it in more. This trip, I wanted to get out and challenge myself and see what my limits were. I think I found them haha!

I'd like to take four or five days and try it again sometime for sure.

Glad you had a good time. That is all that matters. That is very impressive mileage. Especially for that trail. It must of been 10 hours per day of hiking.

I was at the Toccoa River swinging bridge last Saturday and almost left you trail magic on the water box before Highway 60. But I was worried you had already passed through and didn't want to leave it for the animals.

I will be interested to hear your feedback on the DRT.

You rock, dude! That trail has brought grown men to tears (well, one man, any way). Only those who have hiked the DRT (a.k.a "The Beast of the East") will realize what an achievement that is.

Wow, 20 a day on the Ridge is not joke! Truly outstanding!

I have returned, got in last night (8-1) at about 9 pm.

Finished the loop in about 59 hrs, 3 days two nights, averaged 20+ miles a day. It was exhausting, brutal and beautiful!

Nicely done! Hoping you post some details about water sources, where you camped and all such as that.
Cheers.

I'm going to work on a blog post with the details and a video, I'll post them up once I have them done. Might take a minute haha! Thanks Sidney!
