Second Backpacking Trip


 
 
 
 
 
This past Labor Day weekend (September 6th and 7th) 
we hiked the Appalachian Trail -> Reeds Gap -> Mau-har Trail. We hiked a mile Sunday and camped since we ran out of light. The next morning we started at 7:00 a.m and finished at 3:30 p.m. We was SO relieved to be back at the car after that 10 hour hike! Lol it's Thursday evening and my calves are still sore! I must say though I absolutely love seeing others being outdoors more and I truly feel like since me and travis started hiking all the time that we are encouraging others! Happy Trails to yall :) 
 
 

 
 
 
                                          
                      I must say this is one of the more difficult hikes that we have endured. However this will not be keeping us from tackling it once again. We are currently planning another trip to Roseland Virginia to enjoy another challenging day. As you will notice I did say DAY. This time we will be simply carrying our day packs and packing minimal weight. Now we are well aware that 14.4 miles (more like 15 with side trails) will not be an easy feat (on what is in my opinion an experience the hardest 1 day loop hike with comparable mileage). That's all part of the fun. We are recruiting another adventurous as well as athletic couple to complete this fun filled yet challenging day with us. We will keep you guys posted as we plan and prepare ourselves for the trip. HAPPY TRAILS YA'LL :)
