We were south of Hawk Mountain today installing check steps to prevent trail cupping!

The Georgia Appalachian Trail Club has taught me a ton about trail maintenance. It is nice to go on trips this time of year where it isn't too hot.

AT Gateways is approaching! Its a popular day to start hiking the while Appalachian Trail. Last year I was working at basecamp, where I gave tags out to over 100 hikers!

There's great speakers and vendors at this event, covering all things AT.

Next year it'll be from February 27th to March 1st!

Got to go backpacking with my dad to Max Patch! It's funny he taught me like 80% of what I know about backpacking.

Now Im teaching him the other 20% about ultralight!

As a new section maintainer I get to enjoy working at Stover Creek Shelter and making sure everything is ok!

I'm still learning a lot and know there's lots of work to be done on my section to improve drainage and keeping the trail intact!

BTW atm I'm volunteering with the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club.

I basically help out all sorts of hikers, do some trail maintenance and stuff. Also gave a ride to a Canadian as he embarks on an AT Thruhike and he gave me real maple syrup!!

Day 49 of the Appalachian Trail!

2 of the Virginia Triple Crown done! Dragons Tooth and McAfee Knob! Both very pretty and unique sites. McAfee is probably the most photographed spot on the Appalachian Trail

Day 47 and 48 on the AT (last year)

Another day in Virginia. Passing by Mountain Lake Wilderness, privy signs and the last continental divide of the trip.

The eastern divide sends water on the left to the gulf and on the right to the Atlantic.

Day 45 on the Appalachian Trail!

Got to see Angel's Rest and stop in Pearisburg, VA! Angels Rest Hikers Hostel was good but a bit crowded with the rain. Taxi and I didn't hike too far so several members of our trail family caught up to us! We also got Dairy Queen.

Day 43 and 44 on the Appalachian Trail!

The heat wave arrives, with little to no leaves on the trees yet, Taxi and I get fried by the sun... glad I wear long sleeves. To top it off after the hottest day of our trip so far Docs Knob Shelters water source is small.
