You're quite welcome!

Flower, Mike (aka: Left Behind), the guy who lost 105 pounds, and I are planning two 5-day hikes on the Appalachian Tail for this year. When y'all met, we (Mike, me, and three more of our buddies) were hiking from Amicalola Falls to Neel's Gap. When you passed us, we'd set up a stealth camp on top of a mountain. I believe you camped about half a mile passed us. Anyway, this afternoon when looking at recent videos from the trail, I saw your video. Thanks for mentioning Mike's great accomplishment last year. Mike is a hell of man!

What a contrast from starting down at Springer in the late winter or early spring. If I do the trail again, someday, I’ll definitely flip-flop and hike in the best weather.😊

Yes, I agree...I've actually never seen any other videos of the southern sections that show much besides brown sticks :) It really is gorgeous there in the fall!

While watching your present video for the “100 mile Wilderness”, I had to seek out how you started at Springer Mt. Since I am from Long Island, you explained a plan I thought about. As always thanks for your detail. Thanks for ‘Aiming High’🇺🇸

Can’t believe I binge-watched all eight. I would have bailed way back at the copperhead and if not, certainly at the point where the bears entered the scene. I would love to do that trail some day and when it is paved and 60 😊Hampton Inns are established along the trail, I’m there. Forgot to mention the long-range electric bike I’ll need.

I know it's tradition to do the approach trail, but since it's not really a part of the AT, and I had a limited time in my schedule to hike...it wasn't part of my plan.
