Much different hiking than Florida.
That looked like a good hike..not a typical
walk in the park. Well done mates 👍

Great video, Todd. Isn't Melanie a blast to hike with? She is a hoot. See you at Pinhoti Fest.

Hump Mtn is no joke! I think that was one of the harder climbs. One of my favorite sections so far though.

@Schwaptastic612 Thanks for watching! It was a beautiful hike, tough at times but worth all of it. It's one of my favorite sections as well.

One of my favorite areas to hike and not that far from me either. Did an overnighter on Grassy Ridge Bald last year. Nice video!

[@Backpacksandtrails]

@JimHayesHiking Someday, we need to get together for a hike. I will be back up around that area again sometime this fall. Stay in touch, Jim, and thanks for watching
