10 years ago today I crossed the halfway point of the #AppalachianTrail
So enjoy this video, possibly the best hiking video ever made: https://youtu.be/OnFMQ2NAgyk?si=kEHdc7G-hO4uZ9aP
(No, not me in the video. I wish I was clever enough to have thought of this)
#halfway #hiking #appalachiantrail
The Appalachian Trail over the Route 225, Dauphin, PA
We passed by this trail while we were on the way back from the Lake Tobias Wildlife Park 😊
Peter's Mountain Shelter is about an hour away (on foot) on the Appalachian Trail from this point 😊
Took a walk around, just to feel the trail 😉

AT thru hikers carry two kinds of food on their long distance hikes: Not Enough, and Too Much.
The latter early on. The former for most of the hike.

People say "we're not out of the woods yet" as if being IN the woods is a bad thing.
Generations of Appalachian Trail hikers beg to differ.

Wayah Bald, elevation 5,342 feet, outside Franklin, NC. Observation tower built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1937. The tower offers a great view of the Appalachian Mountains in Georgia, Tennessee and both North and South Carolinas. #NorthCarolina #mountains #mountain #mountainmonday #hiking #appalachiantrail

Got out for another walk at Fenner Nature Center. Later at home set up my backpack with 25 lbs of ballast and took a walk around the neighborhood, time to start getting in shape for another section of the #AppalachianTrail.
So I'm following several #AppalachianTrail thru #hikers on youtube this year, and mostly their video posting is (understandably) delayed a week or two, and I'm just watching them head toward #Vermont like... 😭

I need to learn to put hashtags on things:
> Hiked 26 miles of the Appalachian Trail with my dad over the past three days, from Hogpen Gap to Cooper Gap.
>
> Saw a deer, some turkeys and a diamondback rattlesnake.
>
> Didn't see any bears.

I recently did 16 miles on the #appalachiantrail in #bennington #vermont, it was much harder than I thought. I'm very sore but kind of want to do it again.

Karl's incredible story and record-breaking achievement in ultra-running are awe-inspiring. However, the direction of the documentary falls short. Despite that, it's worth a watch to witness Meltzer's determination and resilience.
Karl Meltzer: Made to Be Broken, 2016 - ★★★

It's not the easiest trail to hike, especially when water is really flowing and everything's wet, but Beaver Brook trail is a visual and audible treat.

The Flame Azaleas were beautiful, but the Azalea Galls, as well as the Horsesugar Galls are fascinating!

by #OliverMilman in #TheGuardian:
"Environmentalists reacted in outrage at the deal, arguing the 300-mile pipeline, which will bring fracked gas from West Virginia to southern Virginia, will endanger hundreds of waterways, threaten landscapes including the nearby Appalachian trail, and worsen the climate crisis."

Great day in Harpers Ferry, WV! So beautiful here! So much history. We even got to hike a little bit of the Appalachian Trail.
