Awsome another trail done.I think from what most people say is their grateful that they had the opportunity to hike the AT, it's changed there lives. 🙏❤️🥾🥾👍💪👏☕
Nice trail, thanks for taking us along. Keep on keepin on.
Walking, hiking and living in the country (as I did) helps everyone sort themselves out. I am pulled to the woods…..and I’m grateful
Thank you for posting. Looking forward to updates from Austin and/or Nashville.
Another trail done, thank you for taking us along. The Autumn colours were beautiful. So enjoyed your inner thoughts as you go along and explore that area.
That tarantula probably came from the homestead, they love old buildings lol. We get them here the size of your hand or more, that don't hurt you but have I said before I hate spiders lol...... well I do.
I had to read about that homestead as history fascinates me. Amongst other things I learnt that the Parker-Hickman homestead is on the US National Register of Historic Places and I was glad to see you come across it and it not hit by vandals, I love it when old places can be preserved. The main farmhouse is the oldest standing log structure in Buffalo National River, homesteaded in the 1840s by settlers from Tennessee. There are 8 structures on the land. The most modern is a privy installed during the Great Depression by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The remaining structures include two barns, a haymow, tool sheds, livestock feeders, a corn crib and chicken house, and a smokehouse. Interesting stuff :)
The Cherry Grove cemetery at the back of the above homestead seems to have a lot of infants that passed on and it makes you think, like you said of life and how we are only here for a very short time, make the most of the time we have. How hard it was back in those days with no hospitals close for those infants. Apparently there are several Parkers buried there, most likely from the original family members of the above homestead. There is also a gravestone of a man who was "killed by Confederates". I guess due to some of the rugged landscapes around those parks there were not a lot of battles that took place there during the Civil War, but those people were not completely isolated from it either it seems.
Stay safe and good luck on your next trip :)
Another thru hike!!
Good times!!
What a pretty hike. Thanks for taking us along. The old house and cemetery were really cool to see. Hope you're having fun in Austin
The Buffalo is a national thing. People come from all over to "float" the Buffalo. Some really awesome sights along the way. It's free to camp anywhere along the river half a mile from state campgrounds. For more of the river check ozark highland trail.
Glad you got to experience the beautiful BRT! This is my neighborhood and we just love it. So much more, too! Congrats on your AT Thru-Hike!
My home stomping grounds .l love it here nothing like it❤
I don't like "Spiders" and snakes and that ain't what it takes...........
