- In this video, I leave the historic town of Cave Springs, GA heading for Summerville. Along the way I “rejoice” over the road walks, get back in the woods, walk a ridge line, endure a wind storm and get picked up by a Deputy Sheriff. 😳 I hope you enjoy this video and that you'll continue with me on this epic journey of the Pinhoti Trail.

That looked like a great southern heart healthy meal...
Barbecue brisket, barbecue pulled pork, and barbecue beans…priceless! 😁
funny the rev hiking trafficer lol be well rev be blessed
Thanks Robert.😁
Gorgeous forest. Nice views. Too many road walks. Hard to believe that they thought you were up to no good. But at least, it got you a ride. Glad for that. Enjoying the trail with you. Take care, enjoy your zero. Stay safe.
Thanks Judith. Yeah I couldn’t believe no one would pick me up hitchhiking.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. Thank you for coming along with me. 😁
What a guy! I noticed you use two poles. I never can get used to having two things in my hands when I'm walking therefore I only carry one walking stick I've had this walking stick for around 15 years. Here lately I haven't walked very much at all and I'm getting so out of shape it's pathetic. You need to understand that I've had two back operations and two neck operations and sometimes it's hard to even get up out of my chair but I have to keep moving or I'll stove up. At any rate you do good young man so keep up the good work maybe I'll see you on the trail one day you never know. Keep On Truckin, or in your case walking
Thanks Terry. Hopefully I will meet you on the trail one day.😁
I work for a local PD so am not surprised by the "helpful" citizen that called in about a "trafficker"...LOL..we get that all the time as if everyone walking down the street was up to no good (some are, most aren't!). We aren't in an area near a hiking trail but you would think citizens up in that area would be used to seeing hikers traversing the Pinhoti?!.. Glad everything worked out for you and they were able to give you a ride. I enjoy your vlogs and hope you enjoy the rest of your hike..
Thanks. The Officer told me to call the non-emergency 911 number to get a ride back to the trail head. If only he would have taken me back with the lights flashing and the siren going… 🤔
I’m really enjoying watching you hike the Pinhoti Trail. I can’t believe your encounter with the sheriff. 😂😂Sure glad he was able to give you a lift into town.
Thank you Brenda. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Yes, me too. 😁
Always interesting, Rev. Especially finding out about your illicit sideline income... :>)
😂😂😂
This trail is so beautiful. Your barbeque looked so delicious. Wind camping isn't fun. Oh my. Well by their calling you got a ride. That was a silver lining. Blessings and safe hiking
Thanks Vickie. I thoroughly enjoyed hiking the Pinhoti Trail. 😁
Wind in the woods is scary; we often have trees come down. Take care of that leg! I enjoy your videos very much.
Thank you Ruth. My leg is getting better. Rest really helps.😁
Good morning Mr.Rev❤
Good morning Adam.😁
Ive enjoyed this so much. That was hilarious about the sheriff.
Hey Beeka. That’s crazy thinking that I am a drug dealer. 😂
The Hiking Rev aka The Drug Dealer😀 New trail name? Thats funny! Great video as usual.
Gotta finance my hike somehow. 😂
You’re right calf looks awfully tight compared to the left. Might want to roll it out a bit before stretching. Great video, thanks for posting. Stay safe👌
You’re welcome Lisa. I’m going to follow your advice. 😁
Glad you’re doing well. The hamstring pull seems to have worked itself out. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Larry. Every time I would trip or stumble, it would aggravate it again but eventually it’s getting better. 😁
Glad you got a ride. My last ride was from Park Rangers on the Blue Ridge Parkway. They were very nice as well. Hope that hamstring heals quickly.
Thanks. The Deputy Sheriff told me if I needed a ride back to the trailhead to give him a call. 😁
Lovely vid again Rev. That much wind in a forest can be a hazard with falling trees and branches. Glad to see it was a non issue but I never expected to see the bamboo, that was a surprise. Rob ;)
Thanks Devon. Yes. I’m always watching/listening out for falling branches and trees. 😁
Truly a beautiful trail.
Drug trafficker? Remember, Dixie had a woman call in on her as a shoplifter while on the Pinhoti.🤷♂️
That was also at the Dollar General in Summerville. There must be something about that town. 😂
Never miss ...
Thanks Douglas. 😁
So happy you finally got a ride
Hey Charles. Yeah. Even if it was with the Po-Po! 😂
Haha! I always thought you looked pretty sketchy.
You’re right Dovie. I do look pretty sketchy. 😂
@@TheHikingRev It’s a good thing you’re harmless.
@@DovieRuthAuthor 😂
Great video. I’ve pulled my hamstring a couple of times, it took a few days to hobble.
Thanks Mark. I’m hobbling along. 😁
That was a funny story at the end. So if you're white haired, with a backpack and hiking poles you're a dealer/trafficker? Make it make sense. Someone has a vivid imagination and/or no clue what a hiker looks like. Probably both. 🤦🏼♀️ Still a beautiful hike, minus the road walks required. Hope those are eventually rerouted into the woods or fields. Happy trekking! 🥾
At least I got a ride into town.😂
@@TheHikingRev True dat! Maybe you should have been "reported" a mile or two earlier. 😂
Now I know why my buddy and I couldn’t get a ride to Skeenah Campground while hike the Benton Mackey Trail.
I think that it may have been because my buddy and I are around your age.
Come on people! Where is the love for us, older hikers? If anybody needs a ride it’s us! 😂
Amen! 😁
Love these videos!! Please keep sharing them
Thanks Mick. I will 😁
Thanks!
You’re welcome Larry. Thank you. 😁
Love your videos.
Thank you Robin. 😁
Great video. Another pleasant journey with Rev.
Thanks Tom. Thanks for coming along with me on my journey.😁
Another great video Rev. Wishing you a speedy recovery on that right hamstring. Looks like it bruised bad in the video. All the best to you...that was a long stretch.
Yes, it was Chuck. Every time I would stump my toe or trip, it would aggravate my hamstring again. Very painful. 😖
Safe travels
Thanks. 😁
Hello Rev, would it be please possible to do a quick video on the gear you took for the Pinhoti trail? It might be a little bit different from the PCT and I would love to watch it! Thank you for taking the time and efforts and work to vlog on trail and edit it 🙂
You’re welcome Clara. I’ll leave the link to my Lighterpack.com account from my Pinhoti Trail Thruhike here; lighterpack.com/r/z69hum. I am going to do a Post-hike Gear List video. Stay tuned. 😁
that' a nice example of law enforcement there to serve and protect. What if there were a network of "men (and ladies) of the cloth" for hikers needing assistance? Happy trails!
That’s a great idea! Thanks. 😁
I guess the failed hitch into town worked out. Been there and done that…only we never could get a ride. Appreciate your videos showcasing the our jewel of a trail, the Pinhoti. I’ve been following along from the beginning.

Thanks JBEN. I have fallen in love with the Pinhoti and the hiking community. It is far more than what I expected. I would like to meet you at Pinhoti Fest in the Fall. Looking forward to it. 😁
@@TheHikingRev You know, a lot of people that hike the Pinhoti, say that…. We are just now coming into our own as a hiking community. While the forerunners got it going, the trail had kinda been on autopilot in a sense. But there is more of a concerted effort by individuals to take what was developed by those forerunners to the next level with #PinhotiForever , The Pinhoti Outdoor Experience, Pinhoti-Fest, etc.
Yes! I will be there, at Pinhoti-fest and will be looking forward to meeting you as well .
Blessings, JBEN⚡️
I see a side-business in your future, Rev! Now that you know no law enforcement would ever suspect you as a drug trafficker..... Anyways, great video and beautiful scenery! I feel like I'm repeating myself every video! I really enjoy your vids, you are one of the very few backpackers I watch on CZcams. I just can't find many others that I like to watch. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Mike. You made my day. As long as you enjoy my videos, I’ll keep making them. 😁
Someone must have thought you looked like Clint Eastwood being a "mule".
😂😂😂
So you got to experience the tent in high wind conditions, did it meet your expectations?
Hey Larry. Yes, the Plex Solo performed very well in high winds. No problems.😁
LOL! Drug dealer! Yep, that pack is full of drugs! 😂 Goodness...😅
Hey Reba. Yeah, I guess I look like a drug dealer.😂
Maybe somebody driving in the opposite direction felt that you simply needed a ride into town. And calling the Sherriff's Office with a bogus story was meant to accomplish exactly that.
Yeah Christine. I’ll go with that. 😂
It is NEVER a good sign when a Sheriff’s car pulls up behind you while walking down a road! But…you must truly be living right! A ride is a ride, right? Did you sit in the back, or did he let you sit up front? Hope the right hamstring is better. There’s a climb at John’s Mountain till you get Dalton, and guess what…..more road walking. Good resupply at Dollar Tree behind Cracker Barrel, and also a Kroger about half way down Walnut Ave.
Thanks Mary. I had to sit in the backseat minus the bracelets.😁
Great video, do you ever have to deal with ticks?
I got one tick on the third day on trail. But I got ate up by chiggers. 😁
Sorry about your injury but glad you’re better. Pretty comfy section staying at the Inn and taking some zero days. I’ve seen some pretty rough looking thru hikers hitching for a ride along the PCT but how someone came up with that story about you is mind boggling- glad the sheriff gave you a ride. Found a tick on Emory today (no clue which trail he got it from). Mosquitoes are active now too… ugh. Happy Memorial Day weekend! Stay safe! Excellent Vid.
@@TheHikingRev I was wondering about the chiggers....used to live in Rome, GA.
Are you hangin your food?
Hey Mark. No I did not hang my food. I’ll leave a link to the video I did on food storage.

You know you just can’t trust those old preachers. I can say that because I am one!! Hope the hamstring issue clears up. Be safe and try to look and act a little more respectable. You’ll give us preachers a bad name! 😂😂😂
Thanks Randy for the exhortation. 😁
That's hilarious. Gonna have to change your channel to The Hiking Drug Dealing Trafficker.
Gotta finance my hike somehow. 😂
Hitchhiking is one of those rare situations in which women tend to have more "privilege" than men; I have never had difficulty getting a hitch. Nor been described as a drug dealer! You have a very small pack, which makes you look even less like a typical backpacker. The one signifier I would note is the trekking pole - but you usually have it stowed I think? Oh well, there's always a solution in the end!
Hey Karen. On my PCT Thruhike, I always tried to hitchhike with women. Who wants to pick up an old dude! 😂
A trafficker or a drug dealer. 😅 That's one way to get a ride.
👍
