My very first solo hike June 27-29 ~ It was amazing!

First solo AND a video?! Impressive on both accounts.
I hear you about arriving early & figuring out what to do with the rest of your day. Little different when you are by yourself. Some folks don't like taking their smart phone, but that's a time when mine comes in handy. i download podcasts, audiobooks, Kindle books, etc to pass away the time.

Anyhoo.. great job getting out there.

Great trip, pretty hot and dry here. Nice to see the rocks, streams and mountains.

Thanks for posting!

A video of your July 27-29 hike in 2014, truly amazing!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist. Glad you had a great time!

Very nice. Now however you are addicted. Solo is awesome. While hiking with others is great most of the time, solo is a bit different and more introspective. Great video!

Color me jealous. I am stuck here at work and you are out relaxing in the mountains. Great job.

Starting and ending at the highest point in the GSMNP, nearly 20 miles of hiking, nearly 10,000 feet in elevation change, rocky trails, fog, rain, perpetual stream crossings, gnats, amphibia, dung beetles, soaked to the bone, two nights in the woods and stealth camping. On your first solo trip.
