- As I near the completion of this epic journey, it seems that the trailI continues to overwhelm with breathtaking views and vistas. From John’s Mountain Overlook to Keown Falls to Pilcher Pond, the Pinhoti Trail does not disappoint. I hope you enjoy this video and that you'll continue to the end with me on this epic journey of the Pinhoti Trail.

Really enjoying your journey on the Pinhoti trail and the peacefulness of the forests.
I’m glad you are enjoying it. That makes my day. 😁
Good to watch you go with a spirit of generosity to forests I'll probably never see. Thanks.
You’re welcome Doug. We are stewards of all of God’s creation.😁
Just when I’m thinking that the trail couldn’t get anymore more gorgeous… bam!💥❤️
It is a very beautiful trail. 😁
Always calming and awesome. Thank you sir .
Thanks Douglas. That’s me…Calming and awesome. 😂
Do not like snakes!!! Thank you for sharing this journey. Another amazing section on the trail. That was a wonderful camp site too. Blessings and safe hiking.
I saw more snakes on the Pinhoti trail than I did on the entire pacific crest trail.😁
The only spam and fish we have are in cans. I look forward to trying the foil packets you all have. Enjoy watching the new scenery and the hike. Take care and blessings. Yes, today's troubles are sufficient unto themselves - campsite to campsite is the motto. Tanya
Thanks Tanya. As long as you don’t look at the ingredients in SPAM it doesn’t taste too bad.😂
Well good to see you still in good spirits and enjoying the beauty that God has created for us to enjoy. Doesn't seem to be well maintained but I guess that will come in time. Hopefully it will all be in the forest before too long. See you next episode. God Bless. As in life - One Day At A Time.
Thanks, lawrence jump. From what I understand they are planning on moving more of the trail in the woods.😁
Lol! What happens on trail stays on trail, right?!! Glad you crossed the mud sea without an audience.😉😊 Really enjoying this series!
😂😂😂Thanks Ruth. My wife was not happy with my humor. 😂
@@TheHikingRev Lol!!!!
Thanks for sharing. It was a beautiful view from the look out. Nice hike, good going. Happy trails.
Hey Theresa. It was a beautiful view. 😁
Felines have claws retracted so no claw marks are made when they walk. Canines are not able to retract their claws so they do show claw marks when they walk. Bears are the same as canines.
Thanks Jackie. I had heard that, but I forgot at the time.😁
Don’t know how you do it but each video tops the previous. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you Larry. I’m glad you enjoy them.😁
Have I told you how much I have enjoyed your vlog of the Pinhoti. So nice.
When you get to Chatsworth area, you will find ‘Spring Place’, which in the day before Trail of Tears, the Moravian Missionaries settled there and were accepted by the Cherokee. They lived together in harmony, and the Missionaries taught them English. You are also near the Chief Van House. Enjoy this beautiful area as you pass thru.
Thank you Mary. That’s great to know the history of a place. I went by the Chief Van House. It is truly a beautiful area. 😁
Rev … putting in the work. Good stuff.
Thanks Tom.😁
Yep, good guess. Bobcat tracks. I see them all the time here at home.
Wow. I thought that’s what they were. 😁
Good hike for this section, Rev. Nice forests and trail. Loved the waterfall. So peaceful. You're knocking out the miles. Thanks for sharing. Have enjoyed this greatly. Hate for it to be so close to the end, tho I'm sure you'll be ready to go home.
I am glad you introduced us to Pastor Micah, and Julie. God bless them, God bless you!
Thank you Mary. I just love meeting great people.😁
Can’t wait 🤘
Me either. 😁
Just had a chance to catch up Rev, been away myself and always enjoy your wholesome hikes. Those tracks were most likely canine, the general rule is symmetrical tracks with claw marks are typically canine, no claws and asymmetrical are usually feline. I'm so glad I hike in a country with no threat from wildlife lol. You put me to shame with your miles, well done! Best wishes from England, Rob.
Thanks Rob. I was thinking canine. 😁
Was good to see you at the finish, I completed also took just under 20 days!
Good for you Gary. Congrats!
I have done three treks at Philmont Scout Ranch as an adult. 12 days of backpacking with resupply every 3 to 4 days. You thoughts on goals is spot on. Our focus was: where do we find water again (mountain desert), where do we stop to eat, where do we camp next. Simple goals. Thinking about the full 12 day hike would have made the trek very daunting.
You are so right, Charles. Many short range goals are better than one long range goal.😁
Nature is beautiful and your videos and commentary brings out the beauty.
Thanks Mark. I hope my videos can convey the beauty and awesomeness (I hope that’s a word) of nature and God’s creation. 😁
Thanks Rev for the great content! I so look forward to your uploads as I am also an “older” 😆 hiker. My wife and I are doing a section hike on the AT Father’s Day weekend and I think our kids may also make an appearance! Keep hiking!
Thanks. Good luck on your Father’s Day hike. 😁
Thanks Rev.
You’re welcome 😁
I lived in Ellijay Georgia for 21 plus years so I got a good idea about where you are. You are exactly right as far as worrying about the end of the trail. I always just enjoyed from campsite to campsite and then all of a sudden there was the end and you wondered where did it all go. Look forward to seeing you at the end don't know where the end is I don't believe I've been on that particular Trail but I've been on quite a few around Ellijay. I used to do cross- country treks with only a compass and a map no Trail but I can't do that no more. I know you're enjoying that country cuz there's some beautiful scenery all the way around, you just showed some. Have a great trip I'll see you at the end
Thanks Terry. I love the community of Ellijay. Great people there!
BTW…I love your beard. 😁
@@TheHikingRev thank you sir my wife did too but she's gone now
I didn’t realize that the trail to Keown Falls and John’s Mountain was part of the Pinhoti trail! We did a loop starting with going up to the falls, to John’s Mountain and back down the other side of the falls. Hubby left his hiking stick at John’s Mountain and we had to hike back to get it adding 2 miles to our hike. We found out later that we could have driven to the trailhead to John’s Mountain to get it. 😂😂
Hey Jan. That is a very beautiful part of the Trail. 😁
Glad you were able to be back on the trail. Keep up the good work
Thanks Randy.😁
Thank you
You’re welcome Michael.😁
Thanks!
Thank you Larry very much.😁
Another enjoyable video. Well done.
Thank you Roger. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😁
Enjoyed this! Love seeing things like the snake and frog (toad)?. Nice to get rides from such wonderful trail angels. You’re almost at the end? Oh nooooo… I always look forward to your weekly videos. Hope you have another hike planned after this one. PS: I like your watch. I need to get Emory one like that.
Hey Rebecca. I’ll keep posting hikes and videos. As long as you enjoy them, I’ll keep posting them. 😁
My watch is a Garmin Instinct Solar. I love it! I got it because it measures and keeps track of a lot of things including my heart rate.
@@TheHikingRev thanks for the watch info! It may be a bit too sophisticated (complicated) for Emory (he has dementia) but I like the large size and easy to read the time.
❤
Thanks Tony. 😁
Hi Rev, it's Ron. Had some difficulty finding you. Enjoyed your filming on this trail. My dad was born and raised in Macon, Georgia. It's a beautiful state. His sister had a beautiful southern accent. Always enjoyed listening to her stories. I enjoy listening to your narration of your experiences on the trail. Where does your next adventure take you?
Thanks Ron. It’s amazing how quick I picked up my southern accent while I was there in Alabama and Georgia.
I’ll probably do some section hikes this summer in the Desolation Wilderness/Lake Tahoe area.
Let’s go!
👍
Fantastic views! Great Advice on Thinking next campsite, not the entire thing. How do you eat an elephant?....... One bite at a time! Wouldn't recommend it though! ;-)
That’s a great analogy.😁
Great video! What type snake was that? Black Racer, Coach Whip, King Snake, or Chicken Snake 😅. Beautiful views. My wife and I have really enjoyed it. Brings back memories.
Hey Chuck. I’m glad you and your wife enjoyed it. Not sure what kind of snake it was. I just knew I didn’t want to get bit by it. 😁
Thanks Rev. I always enjoy your videos. I can tell you are a native southerner because you , like me, call fireflies lightning bugs. Did you ever come across Kelly Hayes on the Pinhoti? She and Tripod are on it the same time you are.
You’re welcome Frank. They are Lightning Bugs, aren’t they?😂
I just noticed that Kelly Hayes was on the Pinhoti the same time as me but I didn’t see her. She may have been a few days behind me. 😁
Thanks
I’m the same age. My setback this year was spinal surgery. I’m hoping to get out, but the doctors have a different view.
I see that you carried no stove, or cook wear. .
Even cold brew.
Also how is your tent base . I see you didn’t use a ground cloth for protection.
Thanks
Pa walkabout
Hey Pa walkabout! Man, I hope you recover soon from your surgery.
I do the “no cook” method for Trail food. Things that don’t require cooking or cold soaking.
I don’t use a ground cloth for protection. 😁
keep on rev whats next?
Gotta finish this trail. 😁
What are you using to record your videos and edit them?
Hey Roger. I use the camera on my Apple iPhone 14 Pro and edit the videos in iMovie. 😁
Be careful of those Alabama/Georgia Wampus cats 😊
Hey Anthony. So that’s what that was? A Wampus cat?😁
biw
Thanks Adam.😁
Looked like dog prints.
That’s what I thought. 😁
Dogs cannot retract their claws, and cats can.
Hey Karen. That’s what I thought. 😁
Thanks Rev.
You’re welcome. 😁
