From here to the Northern Terminus is mostly uphill when headed NOBO, so I, of course, decided I would do most of it SOBO. - [Pinhoti Trail #39: Cave Spring to Snake Creek Gap](https://nuttyhiker.com/pinhoti-trail-cave-spring-snake-creek-gap/): From there I had Suspenders take me to Snake Creek Gap (where we originally got off in Feb of 2025), and I headed SOBO to Pilcher Pond. - [Appalachian Trail: Rocky Ridge, Origional Halfway Marker & Boiling Springs Area](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-boiling-springs/): I then began my trek into Boiling Springs by first traversing Rocky Ridge, which has been nicknamed the mini Mahoosic Notch. I actually have full footage of that in another video for anyone interested. It was a ton of fun!

We opted not to do the half-gallon challenge, lol. - [Appalachian Trail: Pennsylvania Begins— Mt. Dunlop & Snowy Mountain Fire Towers](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-snowy-mountain-mt-dunlop/): My next and final Triple B of the day was to Snowy Mountain Lookout Tower, where I ran into some DNR folks who were trying to come up with a plan on how to preserve the tower and stop the vandalism from people illegally prying open the fence to climb it. I talked to them about my love for these old towers and my relationship to the fire service. They then asked for my input on how to preserve it and what to do about vandals, including examples of how I have seen other fire towers preserved and what measures they have taken for security. I gave them my thoughts as they took notes before leaving me there to explore the area. - [Seeking Appalachian Trail History & Stories](https://nuttyhiker.com/seeking-appalachian-trail-history-stories/): My hike has had a plot twist. Now I need your Appalachian Trail history & stories.

I had gone down several rabbit holes and somehow randomly ran across this. - [Appalachian Trail #40: Stumbled Upon a Military Plane Wreck, Humpback Rocks, & Walking a 1800s Road](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-40-humpback-mountain/): Today, there are numerous Triple B's along Humpback Mountain and a wealth of historical information to share! From stumbling upon a plane wreck to climbing Humpback Rocks, it was a pretty fantastic day, even if I was fogged in for all of it. - [Grand Caverns in Grottoes, Virginia](https://nuttyhiker.com/exploring-grand-caverns/): We decided to take a tour of the Grand Caverns in Grottoes, Virginia. It was weird driving up to the location. Most caverns are well outside of any city, but this one seemed to be right smack dab in the middle of the town. - [Appalachian Trail #39: Heat Wave, But I Had an Amazing View](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-39-heat-wave/): First day of a major heat wave hitting this area right now.

I had my first injury today. - [Appalachian Trail Day 35: Waterfalls & Leaving NC…Again!?](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-day-35-jones-falls/): Jones Falls is the first of two waterfalls I saw today.

Oh, and I passed by Isaacs Cemetery. - [Appalachain Trail Hostel: Braemar Castle Hiker Hostel](https://nuttyhiker.com/braemar-castle-hiker-hostel/): While the plan is to stay at campgrounds as our base camp, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to stay at the historic Braemar Castle Hiker Hostel. I've known since 2015, when I started planning for my hike (initially scheduled for 2020), that I wanted to stay here. - [Appalachian Trail Day 33: Up & Over Hump Mountain to 19E](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-day-33-hump-mountain/): Nighttime thunder and rain, a foggy/misty morning, climbing hump mountain, some injuries, leaving NorthCarolina for good, and finally making it to 19E - [Appalachian Trail Day 32: Hiking the Roan Highlands](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-day-32-hiking-the-roan-highlands/): Today we did the Roan Highlands, and it was a beautiful day for it. The weather was great. We did some bonus trails, and there’s a lot of history in this area, so the video that I made was 35 minutes long. - [Appalachian Trail Day 31: Highest Shelter on the AT](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-day-31-roan-high-knob-shelter/): We’re back on the trail! Rain and mist greeted us as we hiked four miles uphill on a muddy trail, carrying heavier packs than usual. Our plan was to visit the Cloudland Hotel site, the Roan High Knob shelter, and Dr. Brown’s chimney before stopping for the night at a campsite just before Carver's Gap. - [Appalachian Trail #5: Injury, Rain Delay, & Trail Days](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-5/): We made it back to the trail, ready to do our first key swap. But the week ended with another injury, several days of thunderstorms, and we headed to Trail Days. - [Appalachian Trail #4: Made it to Uncle Johnny’s](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-4/): We started the week still in Gatlinburg and ended it at Uncle Johnny's, where I came up with a wild idea. More about that in a little bit. - [Appalachian Trail #3: Injury & Gatlinburg](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-week-3/): We started off the week with a 12(ish) mile slackpack, then a trip to the ER, and ended it by exploring Gatlinburg for three days. - [Appalachian Trail #2: A Wildfire Changes Our Plan](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-week-2/): Week 2 started off with a 14-mile slack pack that I originally remember in 2020 as being easy. My Tramily felt otherwise, especially when we started climbing Blue Mountain (and then coming down it, although I had warned them about the descent). We had some awesome R&R in Helen, GA, and by the end of the week, we were dealing with a fire closure. - [Appalachian Trail #1: Forming a Tramily](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-week1-2025/) - [Appalachian Trail: Pre-Trail Gear Changes](https://nuttyhiker.com/appalachian-trail-pre-trail-gear-changes/): If you have any questions about our Appalachian Trail pre-trail gear changes, please feel free to comment below! - [Pinhoti Trail Day 38: Hello Kidney Stone](https://nuttyhiker.com/pinhoti-trail-day-38/): The day started out absolutely beautiful. While it did get down to the mid-20s last night, it warmed up pretty fast this morning. We opted to hang around camp for a bit to lay our socks in the sunshine, as they were frozen. - [Pinhoti Trail Day 37: The Trail is a River](https://nuttyhiker.com/pinhoti-trail-day-37/): Today we start our way back to Cave Spring from Dalton. It's still misting and lightly raining, but nothing like it has been the past two days. - [Pinhoti Trail Day 35/36: Dalton Road Walk & Update](https://nuttyhiker.com/pinhoti-trail-day-35-36/): Plans change, and you need to be flexible enough to change with them. That is something I learned early on being a military spouse. - [Pinhoti Trail Day 34: Cave Spring Tour](https://nuttyhiker.com/cave-spring-georgia/): Cave Spring, a charming small town nestled in the scenic foothills of northwest Georgia, invites visitors to immerse themselves in a slower pace of life.

Hearn Inn (I will make a separate post specifically for that). - [Pinhoti Trail Day 31: Hello Georgia!](https://nuttyhiker.com/pinhoti-trail-day-31/): It took 31 days, but we made it to Georgia! - [Pinhoti Trail Day 30: A Dead Body…kinda & The Beginning of the ATV Park](https://nuttyhiker.com/pinhoti-trail-day-30/): Today was our last day of slackpacking, and we started the day with a climb, which always seems to be the case.

I didn't want to waste food, and I knew we would do a slackpacking day and would be taking a zero in Heflin to ride out a storm. My pack was probably 5 pounds heavier than normal, lol. - [Pinhoti Trail Day 20 & 21: Hitting the 100 Mile Mark!!!](https://nuttyhiker.com/pinhoti-trail-day-20-21/): It was a wet night and morning.

It was not exactly what we had planned, but that's how the trail goes sometimes. - [Pinhoti Trail Day 16: Stairway to Heaven](https://nuttyhiker.com/pinhoti-trail-day-16/): Today was absolutely beautiful and brutal all at the same time.
