So after the hail storm I woke up in a cloud at 4,000 ft with windy misty cold, probably in the 30’s. I had a hell of a time getting going as everyone had already left before I got out of the sleeping bag. Taking the tent down however is the easiest part with the Big Agnes UL3. […]
April 29th – Today turned out to be a tasty one!
Today I woke up to a brisk chill. I have no clue what the temperature was. I’d say high 30s. But it actually turned out to be not so bad. We had some pretty long climbs but the views were epic. I apologize now for the lack of pics of this as my phone camera […]
April 30th – It was a HAIL of a day…
This morning started off well. I woke up well rested and to the sound of a river. It was still a bit chilly but not unbearable. The sun was starting to shine and I was the last one out of camp. I didn’t get started hiking until about 9:30am, I just can’t get up when it’s […]
Hiking Over Roan Mountain on the Appalachian Trail
Today started off pretty good. I finally got some good sleep. It was pretty chilly on the top of the mountain this morning. I actually got a late start around 9:30. It was a nice little downhill before I started the long climb up. For some reason today wore me out. Not to mention my […]

Day Six Hiking the AT
This morn I woke up feeling pretty chilly. I still didn’t sleep well but I got enough. It started raining (more like drizzling ) as I was taking down the tent so of course it got soaked, but I packed it up and got to going. The plan was to hike 12.2 to the next […]
