    It's mind-boggling to consider that when these mountains began developing, the most advanced life form on Earth was algae. The Appalachian mountains have silently observed the gradual evolution of life on our planet. If only they could speak, they would share tales of the diverse species that once inhabited their slopes, the passage of time, and the everlasting beauty of nature. It is truly wonderful to walk this trail and have the sense that you are a small part of something much bigger than yourself.

    Dude! You need to make a full length feature documentary. Your work is simply the best I have ever seen for on trail, people profile and conservation focused content. I so wish you had completed your PCT adventure. It would have been the gold standard for PCT VLOGGING content. You are a masterful story teller.

    Thank you for the memories, the first time I thru hiked the foothills trail it still had not been completed. There were sections with no bridges and temporary markings. I have thru hiked it a total of 7 times over the course of 10-15year time span back in the early years as well as enjoyed many short weekend hikes. I will cherish all the wonderful memories this trail and surrounding areas gave me.

    • @travelingpanda5108

      Incredible. It sounds like you may have hiked on the original route then? So cool

    • @user-nk6ow6co1w
      @user-nk6ow6co1w Před 4 měsíci

      Yes I did and again so many incredible memories from seeing wildlife like deer and fox to the many varieties of plants. Only ran into 3 people the entire trip first time out and it was a crew working on the trail half way between sassafras and laurel creek parking area. I was even fortunate enough to spend a day at white water falls when the helicopter placed the bridge in place. Such a wonderful area of our country. @@travelingpanda5108
