It’s a rainy, work inside day today! Sometimes, even a thru-hiker like me is grateful to have the choice of sitting dry at my computer, remembering, dreaming, and planning hikes.
Today, I’m remembering my summer walk on the Benton MacKaye Trail, a 300-mile journey through the forests of the southern Appalchian Mountains.
Enjoy this short video, put to the music of Here II Here’s Walk With Me.
On this trip, I experienced a true solo hike – I walked alone most of the trip. In fact, south of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, I only saw three other hikers – going the opposite direction! Nonetheless, I learned that hiking solo gives me plenty of time to go within, a journey that’s worth taking.
