Survivor Dave's 2008 Appalachian Trail Hike

[j6mcd]

thanks for the vid..it was good to see some bigger hikers out on the AT. I'm a bigger guy and I am leaving Springer in March. I've got plenty of experience hiking,..but it gives me hope that I can actually do it.

Great video. I want to know about what's happening at 3:06, and should I expect alot of this (at 3:55) along the trail??????? LOL. Looks like a great time I can't wait to get started!

Well, you'll just have to hike and find out! I know the 3 Eagles girls are there with some new faces. As far as on Trail, it stays on Trail. :)

Flagged for nudity at 3:18... hehe just kidding.

Actually that was a hiker named Dirty Old Dog. Never saw him again after that day at Muskrat Creek Shelter.

I remembered your trail magic at Woody Gap. It was the first I'd had on the trail and was very special. Thanks so much! I'm the big guy at 7:30 with the green bandana. Danger Danjo summited on September 1st.

Good Luck. We wouldn't be heading out until he gets out of school - mid June.

Thanks, I'd probably do the same thing. Son is into hiking, but I wouldn't want to 'burn him out' - he's only 16 now.

[happyhiker08]

Might see you out there. I am hiking again next Spring. Hopefully to Maine. Foot is fine.

Thanks for posting. How long did the Springer - Fontana leg take?  I'm trying to talk my son into doing the same trek next summer.

[happyhiker08]

It took me 14 HIKING days. I did a couple of zero days in Hiawassee and in Franklin.

[PistachioNut94]

do you remember meeting a bunch of kids on the at? about NY- conneticut? i think we met you. Sometime in the summer.

[happyhiker08]

Sorry, that wasn't me. I didn't make it that far.

[nitewalker08]

[happyhiker08]

That trailer is where I stayed at Cloud 9 Hostel in Hiawassee Ga. I don't own it.

Good job Dave. I'm sure a lot of the folks you ran into would love to see this.
