Trail: Pt.2 of a Custom trail (a mix of the AT & the Pocosin trail)
Length: Estimated ~2.7 miles
Elevation: 400ft
Time: 8:33- 9:32 (on the dot I want to add)
So I write this from the backseat of our vehicle on the 10 hour journey home. Fresh off of the last hike and I gotta say, THAT WAS A TOUGHIE. We wanted to push hard and fast and we did. For the most part the elevation was good to us, but there were some stretches where it got brutal for a second. The worst part is that we had limited water, due to the location of our campsite and the custom route we took we prepared for a zero water scenario. That part was fine but there's something mentally taxing about knowing you're low on water...... Either way though we hoofed it and made it back AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
Really isn't much to say here. Nothing really eventful either about the journey back to Michigan. We ate, I napped, there was good music and I was home by like 8:00 PM and my kids greeted me.....what more could a fella ask for. All in all the trip was a MASSIVE success and it allowed me to do some scouting work for a future family trip here. If you ever get the chance to go belly up and balls deep into mother nature never say no, it has a value that cannot be quantified and the experience alone is worth the price of admission. Now that I'm back home (as I finish this last post) I am HIGHLY anticipating watching ANDOR SEASON 2 and about to catchup on my popculture gossip and news. Take care and thanks for joining me again on my journey in this crazy thing we call life! I love you and stay classy
