Pinhoti Trail Video

[AO2134]

I was there April 15. I had started at South FS 500 and made the 8 miles in a little 2 1/2 hrs. I had a great night in the shelter. I didn't get hang out though.

As a weekend warrior, I basically get to camp, set up, try to go to sleep. In the morning, I get up as early as I can (never before sunlight) and start hiking to do the miles I need to do.

Has anyone hiked north of FS 500 to JAckson Chapel recently. Intel would be very helpful.

thanks for this.

where are you getting your mileages from, do you have a guide? I use the Pinhoti Trail alliance guide --

I use it as well. I created a word document for my hikes based on the Pinhoti Trail Alliance Guide. My miles don't exactly match up because there was a re-route that shaved 1.7 miles by my math off the trail. So all the trail mileage is off by 1.7 miles from the PTA guide.

Well guys. I was intending to do a 29 mile day hike from North FS 500 to Jackson Chapel Rd. I quit after 10 miles due to heat and not being fully recovered from a stomach bug. I was able to get video for the 10 miles, but I think I will wait until I get to Jackson Chapel trailhead to make and publish the video. Sorry.

don't worry about it. It is to dang hot to be out there now IMO

I was hoping to finish the AL Pinhoti that weekend. I am not sure when I will get back out there now. I know I can't this weekend. I may not be able to next weekend. Hopefully soon, I don't want to leave too much hiking to the fall. There are other trails I would like to do again.

I was hoping to do 29 miles. All I could muster in this heat was 10 miles, but it ended up being an ok video.

was supposed to be out there this weekend. We changed plans though. Can't wait to get out there!

Enjoyed your latest video. Great section through there. You made the right choice bailing out when you did, esp (I'm assuming) solo.

Yea. I was solo. Almost all of my hikes on the Pinhoti have been solo.

Hopefully I get to get back out there and redeem myself sooner rather than later.

Just an update. Some good news and bad news. Let's end with the good news so let's start with the bad news.

The bad news: I recently injured my knees pretty badly while doing a long distance run. It's been 4 days with little improvement. I am hopeful it will heal itself with rest. If in a week it doesn't, I will have choice but to go get it checked out. Hoping for the best, but I am really depressed about it. I am not too hopeful. Walking is painful; hiking would be impossible. This puts all my hiking plans on hold.

The goods news: I bought a garmin fenix 3 hr recently. It creates elevation profiles. It won't be perfect by any means, but it will at least give us an indication of an elevation profile for the trail. I will be taking it with me on all future hikes and I will try to show the elevation profile on all future sections.

Matt65 I think posted an elevation profile for the AL pinhoti. Maybe I can make one for the GA pinhoti.

Assuming my knee heals within a week or two, I will hopefully be able to get back out there in August for at least 1-2 sections. If I get back to normal, I hope to do 2 sections a month from August to whenever I finish the trail.

Another section in the books! I finally crossed into GA.

Maxwell Gap to Jackson Chapel Trailhead. I did it as a 19 mile day hike.

Part 2 will come out either later this week or next weekend.

Also, I bought a garmin fenix 3 hr gps. Working on incorporating the data into my videos. I have some of it in this video.
