Hey Derek, always nice to connect with another Asburian. Will enjoy watching all your videos. I’m a newbie hiker and hammock camper. My brother in law and I plan to hike the GA portion of the AT soon. God bless you on your trip. BTW is that Tom Wright in your profile picture?

Derek, I’ve really enjoyed reading your adventures on the AT in GA. The videos are great! I experienced so many of the same emotions on my first time at Springer and on my GA AT sobo hike. Hope you get to do lots more sections. It is very addicting, isn’t it!?! My husband & I are now planning our hike from Deep Gap, NC to Fontana Dam, probably this October. “When through the woods and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:
Then sings my soul–My Saviour God to Thee…My God How Great Thou Art!”

Hiking is addictive. I would like to do more section. Maybe as my boys get older, I can do more sections with them.
