Dog Rescue Mission at the Pin Chin Sky Loop
zhlédnutí 120Před měsícem
On April 26th, we planned a trip to the Pin Chin Sky Loop.. but we did not plan to meet a new family member! Meet Sky! A dog we came across at Adams Gap Trailhead, alone and starving. He hiked with us for 11 miles, keeping him fed and loved, and by the end of it, decided to keep him! This is the story of how we rescued an abandoned dog and made him a part of the Poles of Destiny family! Points ...

    Those are great choices for budget friendly gear. I started out with that same Klymit pad and never had any issue with it. Did have an issue with a different model klymit. However, because I'm a little "older" I had to move to a thicker pad to comfort these bones. Glad you're going to do the Foothills Trail. I did that in 2021 and enjoyed it. I might go back one day and do it the other direction and take a little more time to enjoy it. I also plan to thru hike the Pinhoti whenever I have freedom to be gone for a few weeks. Stay cool! It's so freaking hot!

    Hi there, I’m pretty sure that’s “Coal” - that’s what we called the dog we found at Clairmont Gap on 4/26. He hiked (or led) me and two friends 6+ miles to Adam’s Gap. We were thru hiking the Pinhoti and couldn’t take him with us to the hostel that night. The hostel owner from Talladega said she was pretty confident he had a home in the area. Especially because he had a collar and seemed clean and well cared for even though he was skinny. We were literally in tears to leave him because he’s such a sweet pup, but she told us that lots of people in the area have dogs that just roam and we hoped he’d find his way home. IDK if someone was missing him or if he had a microchip. I know he wasn’t neutered. If he was truly a lost pup, sounds like he’s lucky to have found a good home.

    • @polesofdestinyhiking
      @polesofdestinyhiking Před měsícem

      I got him checked for a chip and he did not have one. I can say he has a great home now! He has gotten so much bigger

    • @JoyfulRambler

    Had Altra for 5 years. Switched to Topo pursuits 18 months ago.. Love them. Not going back to Altra. Topo has much better grip from sole and lasts twice as long. More arch support and better mid foot support... Better ankle lock, no rock plate but much better protection. Mid sole doesn't flatten as much over time. Altra feel like slippers, but get too soggy over time. But, you will notice a more arch support and mid foot hugging from topo. Plus topo doesn't feel tippy like Altra.
