Appalachian Trail Section Hike: Sam's Gap to Spivey Gap

Appalachian Trail Section Hike: Sam's Gap to Spivey Gap

Wait, two blog posts in one week?! Whaaaaaaat?! (Yeah, I know. Weird.)

Anyways, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve been blogging, but I’ve still been going on adventures! Lots of them. Like…do I try to catch up on blog posts or not? We’ll see how I feel this holiday season!

It had been a while though since my last backpacking trip, so when a friend asked if we wanted to go very socially distanced backpacking (we hike at slightly different paces and we’d have all our own separate gear) on the Appalachian Trail then I jumped at the opportunity! A little bit of planning later and we had a section hike mapped out: Sam’s Gap to Spivey Gap along the NC-TN border.

And…well, I don’t need to tell you all about it because I made a video!

I hope you enjoyed it! There are quite a few lessons learned — aspect ratio, pan slower, don’t ramble, etc. — but let me know what you think in the comments!
