    I think you have more snow than we do. It was 62 degrees here today. I've lived here over 30 years and never remember hitting sixties in February.

      It is confusing weather for sure!

    • @kmichaelp4508
      @kmichaelp4508 6 дней назад +1

      @ , not really. As a N Georgia boy myself, you will never predict winter weather there. I have personally seen up to 20” of snow up in the mountains in February. Not to mention an inch or two in April. And the next day 60 degrees. I have no idea where you’re from, but always expect the unexpected.

      @@MetroOnTheMove copy that. I must have missed that in the prior video. I love your vlog and may I say, you have the right attitude for a thru hiker. You are gonna make it, I can tell. Keep it light, keep it humorous and stay flexible which is hard for some folks. I do trail work for the GATC off the Rocky Mt. Spur Trail north of Unicoi Gap. When you get back, you'll love doing trail work but you will want to adopt your own section so you can manage it on your own time. Thanks for sharing and stay safe out there!
