My oldest sent this in our family text thread simply saying ‘Tripp Nelson’. My lovely wife responds, ‘Dang! You keep hitting the nail on the head!’ (They know me too well) 🤪

Two years removed from our Appalachian Trail thru-hikes. Boxer Mom and I summited Mt. Katahdin on July 22, 2023 ending one dream….but awakening us to a world full of many others. We had to celebrate and reminisce by meeting up for a quick little day hike at Dawson Forest WMA. Happy ‘Trailversary’ to us. Keep calm and hike on.

What was supposed to be one trip over 2.5 days turned out to be two trips for 2.5 days of great, hot, humid, tick-infested, night-time lightning storm praying, relentless PUDS on a ‘flat’ hike according to the topo map, blow-down scrambling, 46ish miles of type 2 fun….one trip solo, the next with CJ Bradbury.

In true hiker trash fashion, we made good use of a day-use area pavilion by catching some nighttime zzzz’s before being picked up by shuttle driver Taz who dropped us off up trail to hike back to my truck. My first trip was last week for a 27 mile day and a half solo hike. Because of a parking lot snafu, I had to head back over this week to finish up the remaining 20ish miles. Lucky for me, I’ve got a buddy at REI that doesn’t take much convincing to head out in summertime conditions….and our work schedules worked out perfect for us to team up for a 20+ mile day hike to finish the Chattooga River Trail.

Parts of the Chattooga River Trail share tread way with the Foothills Trail in SC and the Bartram Trail which extends from GA into NC. Guess I’ll have to finish those trails now. Hope to see y’all up the trail. Keep calm and hike on!
