~ Where was the pic at 6:25 taken? It looks like the cabins at NOC (Nantahala Outdoor Center) in North Carolina. Am I right or wrong?

@LordHillsidor

You are right! It was taken at the NOC during the 2007 Southern Ruc.

How are you supposed to get to Springer Mountain?

[spittinpigeon]

@FSVR54 if you stay at the hiker hostel, they'll give you a ride up within a mile of the start. Or you could take a cab to amicalola falls and start on the approach trail.

After watching hundreds of vids I've decided this is my favorite.

The Appalachian trail looks gloomy, im glad im hiking on the PCT this summer

I would think there are two main kinds of people who make this trek. Retirees, and young folks who haven't started their settled down lives. I don't think my boss would give me a 6 month vacation for this.

Beautiful pics, and good to see a South-bound video! I plan to hike southbound when I get out of the Navy in 2 years, and i couldn't ask for a better motivator than this video!

@Glucoperon his hike went through the winter, of course it will look gloomy

@FSVR54 How far is that you think. . . from georgia to the top of the North Carolina /Virginia state line meet on the AT trail?

[Blacklion023]

@LordHillsidor . . .Im going to be hiking the AT from Ga. to N.C. for the first time. If you could give me some tips that would be great

Nice, Been here 2:34 at Harper's Ferry many times, as well as the bridge overlook of the river. I live here. Never been on the AT for a real hike however. I really want to do the whole thing. I met a couple at the HF AT Conservancy office that convinced me the most I need to do it, even with bad knees. Just do it at the pace needed. GREAT video!
