Welcome! My trail name is Greyhound and I have been hiking SC trails like the Foothills Trail, Paris Mountain and the Palmetto Trail for years. I completed several thru-hikes of the 76 mile Foothills Trail and have done one thru-hike of the 400 mile Palmetto Trail. In 2023, I completed a thru-hike of the 2198 mile Appalachian Trail.
When researching my thru-hike of the Palmetto Trail, I wasn’t able to find much info. There are 32 completed passages that span nearly 400 miles of 500, as it crosses SC. Some of the passages were tricky, and it was frustrating to lose the trail. It is always a little scary to go out and do new trails the first time. How difficult is the terrain? Good for kids or dogs? Good for mountain biking? I decided to video the passages to answer those questions and help with difficult areas of trail. I hope these videos will give you the confidence to get out and enjoy the trail, like I do.

Hurricane Helene Damage Greenville SC
We are safe! Trees down everywhere, fences down, but none landed on our house or barn. So fortunate. Our power is still out on day three but we have food and clean water. We are good.
Prayers with everyone in Western NC that got hit with flooding.

Day 2 of Ramdino’s End Of Days Hike on the Foothills Trail in SC. Today I hiked from Laurel Valley Parking Lot to an unmarked campsite on an old logging road just above the Toxaway River Bridge. I hiked nearly 15 miles today. My feet haven’t been great since my AT thru-hike ended in September. I hoped they would make it through this hike, but they seem to be getting worse.

This year we had a total of around 40 hikers, hiking in different groups or mostly alone. We would mee...
I Missed Part of The AT! Clingman's Dome to Newfound Gap

Finishing up an 8 mile section of the Appalachian Trail, that I had to skip after breaking a rib, in March. I slipped on ice in the Great Smokey Mountains and fell twice on Day 26 of my thru-hike. Rangers picked me up at Clingmans Dome. The road was closed for the winter and didn’t open until April, so I was unable to get back on trail where I got off. I had to get back on at Newfound Gap missi...

Maybe the most beautiful day in the 100 Mile Wilderness in Maine! From my beautiful campsite on a beach, to a sunset over Katahdin viewed from my campsite on Nescuntabunt Mountain. More Maine water crossings, log bridges, ponds and Trail Magic that saves the day. I am so hungry all the time and I can't carry enough food. And I see a snake!

The Northern half of the 100 Mile Wilderness in Maine is supposed to be easier. Am I back to actual trails instead of bouldering and climbing cliffs on the AT? Today I hike 17.8 miles from East Branch Lean-to to Sand Beach on Joe Mary Lake. Many water crossings and lots of mud. It is cooling off in Maine in September at just 40 degrees this morning and the leaves are changing. Not much more to ...

Amazing Day! But I Fell 3 Times: AT Day 172
So sorry to see all the damage you got, but definitely glad your house is ok. It reminds me of Hurricane Hugo that came through Charlotte in 1989. The trees down and damage that far inland was crazy. Helene was headed to our house in Northwest Georgia (Thursday night forecast) but went 90 miles east at the last minute and we had nothing, although we had taken in all the yard furniture as normal hurricane proofing, but Augusta, Georgia was hard hit and a lot of SC. Please show us more videos as you clean up. I'm sure it's going to take awhile. It took at least a year in Charlotte to clean up from Hugo.
That's sad to see - lots of work ahead.
Glad your ok and the house is undamaged I didnt get anything from the hurricane and I am in Florida lol I can imagine the mess the A.T. is now poor sobo hikers
Glad you didn't get any damage. I have been watching the AT Trail Towns that got hit. Just heartbreaking what those people are going through.
Glad to know you're OK, Joanne. And so glad your house wasn't damaged. Sorry about all the other damage.
Thanks. I am so glad it wasn't worse. A couple of friends had big trees land on their houses.
So happy that you and yours are ok! ✌️🙂❤️
Thank you! It could have been so much worse. We were so fortunate.
Wow glad you are ok and what a wild storm….incredible strength in the winds. 🌲🌲🪵
It was much more than was forecasted for us. Usually we don't get much this far from the coast.
Glad you’re okay. Those were some huge trees.🌲
Most of our biggest trees went. Some may have been 100 or more years old. This property was in the same family since the Civil War, until our house was built in the 1960s. My favorite tree - the biggest and oldest tree did survive. It is a monster.
We are so incredibly fortunate to have minimal damage. Prayers going out to the towns and communities that got it so much worse than we did.
Wow <20 miles! You're so right with feelings about seemingly feeling you started just yesterday. I'm so glad i didn't skip ahead to experience your final summit. Your docuseries is so worth starting again its so beautifully filmed
My greyhound hates water 😢
@@foreignwarren7361 not many enjoy swimming. This guy was raised here and started swimming as a pup. He has passed on now but I have another raised here that also swims. He hasn’t ever learned water rescue.
That first view of Katahdin is always so magical!!! Never gets old. Epic
Congrats... reaching the 100 plus 2100 miles!!! That is so exciting! I was thinking as I watched that Shaws offered a resupply service or used to? I think I remember 5 gallon buckets. But 10 days food.. that's way heavy
@@Rabid.Turtles yes they will drop a resupply, but it costs $70. You just have to walk fast so it doesn’t take 10 days. I think I had a light 5 days of food with me. I rationed it and lost a few lbs.
We drove through Damascus in 2022 (right after I was diagnosed with cancer). We were heading up to the Grayson Highlands, and I'm glad we did that, but I'm hoping we can get back and hike some around Damascus, maybe even some of the Virginia Creeper Trail.
It is such a beautiful area. The Virginia Triple Crown was one of my favorite spots along with Grayson Highlands.
My husband and our daughters hiked up there (very little) in 1987 on a trip up there when we lived in Charlotte. Our kids were 3 and 5! Then my husband and I came back in 2010 and went a little further. But this was before we were serious hikers (we hiked 1/2 the AT in Georgia in 2016 and we've been adding to the AT ever since). I do hope we can come back here and make it up to the top!
We hiked the little bit from Hot Springs up to Lover's Leap and back in 2018. It was so much fun following the AT down the sidewalk and then following the river before we went up to such a beautiful view!
I have always wanted to hike up to Max Patch. I think we may can do it this fall when we're in the Smoky Mountain area. I hope so, anyway.
You can drive up pretty close to it from what I remember. Definitely worth the hike.
Everything is wonderfull... -and broken. :D
What a day yesterday re bog. I feel for you. I was watching the Debbie storm track and looks like it's following the AT. Here it was the days of rain. Some of our friends in class 2024 are going to get very wet. Hope things are going well
Hopefully there won't be as much rain as last year for the 2024 folks. Old Buzzard is on trail right now doing the Mountains To Sea Trail in NC. Am sure he is getting damp.
Did you take or consider traction devices for your shoes/boots? Thanks for your videos I enjoy them emenslly!
@@JoelWhite-b6l thank you! I do have a pair of microspikes. I don’t remember if I had to use them on this trip. I did use them on the AT on day 26 and 27 for sure. Those were the really icy days. Probably a few other times too.
@@hikingmovie Thank you, I'm planning a feb foothills hike and was guessing I might need something for footing due to all the wooden steps. Keep on keeping on forvthe love🥾🥾
Thank you. That "snake" you've never seen before is actually a legless lizard, common is SC.
@@eddieweick524 no wonder nothing came up when I googled it as a snake. Wish the camera picked up all the colors. It was really beautiful.
Wow 1900 miles and the reality you only have 200!!! Big congrats! Sucky bogs and rock... at least you got to enjoy your new kicks for a few hours. I'm so excited for you. Thanks for bringing back to life some old memories... hard but great times
Cheers! Hoping this reaches you and you're in great health. Always such a pleasure to enjoy your trail docuseries... some of the best and comes with relevant information. As I watched the hiker box reveal I was thinking of a class 2024 hiker heading there on a $1000 budget. Also gave me pause to consider bringing a canister refill kit to replenish the partials. Anyway at this point you're really anticipating ME, the 100 mile and the big high point. Personal note every month I'm getting closer to my memorial hike. Frameless pack arrived, 2# weight 56L but $88. Felt acceptable compromise.
I am watching Quadzilla do the $1000 thru-hike too. He is awesome. I only had to buy a new canister a couple of times on the AT because of having the gas refill attachment. Plenty of partial cans of fuel in most hiker boxes. Plus at home I can buy the big cans of fuel and fill my little cans with those. Saves a lot.
Indeed... those fuel cans aren't cheep anymore. I even picked up one of those canister hole punching things so I can disposer the canisters properly. Anyway your docuseries is still one of the finest
Very nice video
@@jerryparnell1064 thank you
I'm watching your hiking adventure Joanne, absolutely fantastic job with the video, such beautiful scenery and relaxing music. I absolutely love this.
Thank you so much!
The chlorine doesn’t bother their skin? I heard they have delicate skin.
Yes they do have pretty delicate skin. Thin and not oily like some dogs. Their coat can feel more like rabbit than typical dog fur. So far none of mine have had any trouble with the pool water. We don’t bathe them often with shampoos though. His baths were mainly his swims.
@@hikingmovie Well that is good. I remember watching Jenna and Julien when they adopted their first one and she was telling us about their delicate skin.

Hiya! Can you tell me what size Kakwa you ordered?
I have the small size. But follow the instructions on the website on how to measure your back to get the correct size.
Welcome to The Granite State! ;-)
Thank you.
Greetings from Germany! Tobi-Wan here. Spend the same night at the lookout Shelter with you, Sing-Song, Shadow&Hardhat, etc. Great Videos, bringing back good memories. Thanks for that. Happy trails!
Hi Tobi-Wan! Good to hear from you. Did you finish the trail?
Finished Sep. 20th after 169 days. Miss the trail and the people a bit. Congrats to your Finish.
@@tobih.8047 Congratulations!
Amen! PTL. ❤👑
What was the Fanny pack brand and model?
It is a LiteAF Feather weight fanny pack made out of Ultra.
What’s your next adventure? 🥾🥾
Foothills Trail or Palmetto Trail since they are close to where I live now. Would love to hike part or all of the PCT because that is home. Born and raised out there.
Do you know any shuttle drivers?
None that I know of in the area but I just sent a friend a text. She is in Newberry and has helped shuttle before.
Are you the one that posted on the Palmetto Trail Facebook group?
@@hikingmovieyes that was me 😊
@@hikingmoviethanks so much!
After all that epic flooding its inspiring to see what a difference a few days make! Days have a lighter mood don't they? What a wonderful stay place at the beginning. Super great to see several hammocks at the end as well. Hope your feet are recovering well after the Foothills and Kathadin! At this point in your docuseries the Whites are a dream and today they are a memory
Man there’s a lot more trash out on this passage now than when you went. Your video is great!
Thank you. Yes I don’t remember a lot of trash on that passage but there was a lot the first time we did the Newberry Passage. Newberry is a LOoong roadwalk with no shade.
Awesome! I really liked the recap of your trail experience before the big moment. Congrats on your finish!
Thank you! Really enjoyed your trail videos too. It was nice meeting you and Smokemaster briefly at the hostel in Millinocket.
I can't afford the Durston Pro. Did you come across anyone on the trail with the regular one and how did they like it? Thank you for this gear review!
Yes Heisenberg had one. I hiked with him for awhile. He loved his. I ran into quite a few others with them too and didn’t hear one negative thing about the regular xmid. Everyone seemed to love them.
the TR pad sounds like an inflated trashbag
Yes it is still crunchy sounding, but not as bad as their previous pads.
Great video with helpful info. Incredible quality closeups. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
Hi Joann. Did you ladies have your trail name decided for you, or did you pick your own?
Bailouts name was given to her on a previous hike by Fresh Ground when she left the trail- it was a planned exit. She wasn’t actually bailing out and only planned to hike a couple of days, but she liked it and decided to keep it as her trail name. Greyhound was a nickname I already had, short for ‘crazy greyhound lady’ I hike with my greyhounds and also did greyhound adoption since 2001. I decided to just continue using that on trail unless a better suggestion came up. Some people had a name when they started some didn’t. Some chose their own names. You can choose to accept a name or not. Some people just used their own names and never accepted a trail name. Totally up to you.
Thank you!
at 3:44 ... that isn't really a snake ... it's a glass lizard. Google it for more info. Great video! Thanks!
Terrific! Thanx!
I stayed on that same beach in the 100 mile wilderness, in front of the big boulder :) Same Pack & Tent too!
It was a great spot, wasn’t it. It looks like there is usually more beach there, but the lake level was really high from all the rain. Barely had room. If there had been any wind or waves my tent would have been swamped. There was supposed to be another beach campsite right before it, that was completely underwater.
@@hikingmovie Awesome spot! Love that area! Here's what it looked like in '22... much less wet! ruclips.net/video/wmdqJ6YqnLE/видео.htmlsi=5_9vukF2kDnE-Ay2&t=1064
@@somedavechannel oh wow. Lots more space and you caught fish!
Check out the Paria needle stakes, they're nearly identical to the discontinued MSR stakes you like
Ooh thanks for the tip! Will definitely do that. I only bent one of those a tiny bit and pounded them with rocks into roots and rocks accidentally. I was rough on them.
Me too - loved the post and your face, I was seriously considering the same tent, now even more. Thanks for sharing 😂❤🌿
Thank you. The tent is fantastic.
Nice setup exactly like mine except for I don't have the dcf tent I have the regular silipoly
I saw so many silpoly tents on the trail too. I didn’t hear any complaints about either tent. Several people I hiked with had them. Heisenberg had the silpoly. Bailout upgraded from another tent to the Pro and Possum had a Pro.
Enjoying your videos. I like the info you put at the end with the mileage etc. Hike~~On~~>
Thanks for watching! Glad you like it.
Did you have a problem with condensation in the Durston?
This year all tents had condensation with the constant rain. I had a double wall Hubba Hubba tent previously and found a single wall tent easier to wipe down. I just wiped down the inside before I went to sleep at night. Then once during the night whenever I woke up,if needed. Then again in the morning before I dressed. If it wasn’t raining I left doors open for air circulation. Condensation was worse in the prettiest spots like lakes and on grass of course but I still camped in those places sometimes.
Love the video! I'm definitely going to check out the tent.
Both the X-mid and X-mid Pro are great tents.
Almost didn't recognize you, good to know what worked for you. thanks
A little makeup and a shower makes a big difference. lol
