APPALACHIAN TRAIL - GA - SLACKPACKING - DAY 2 - SPRINGER MOUNTAIN TO HORSE GAP



We staged our cars and hiked the 10 miles from Springer Mountain to Horse Gap. Although we planned to car camp at Horse Gap, a nearby group of young people had a fire going, and it seemed like things might get wild. So, we opted to return to Springer Mountain for another night. I was hungry, and my canned soup hit the spot. It was quiet at Springer, except for the occasional hoot of an owl.



I returned a rock I found in 2019 in Virginia while hiking the AT. I painted the scene and felt like it needed to be returned.

Spotted this unusual face in a tree.

Better than squatting in the forest.

"X" marks the spot.

Long Creek Falls
