This is from a few days ago. I'm so lucky to have these trails so close to home.

May 5, 1983, 41 years ago today: It was a comparatively gentle climb for the most part, but I have a long way to go before my body is truly ready for this adventure. The day was sunny and hot, and I ran out of water about halfway through the climb. The heavy backpack I was carrying, and the extra pounds of my overweight body had taken their toll on the soles of my feet,

May 5, 1983, 41 years ago today: There was a nice view along the way from Ramrock's ridge crest and there were some excellent vistas from the summit of Big Cedar. It was still early spring at those elevations, there was not a lot of foliage to block the views. There was plenty of green in the valley far below, but trees were just beginning to bud up here.
If I was planning a trip up the East coast of the US (would be nice to do a loop, one more towards mountains and one atlantic coast, all way up to Maine) and I like *hiking and nature* where should I stop What trails are nice (5-6miles or less) Any off grid camp spots (van camping) you like, or, good dog friendly tiny cabin type rentals to recommend
(Pls boost!)
Lochside Regional Trail.
It can be a bit busy, but it's a great shaded path for a walk.
Side note: we need rain. Lots of steady, slow rain.

May 4, 1983, 41 years ago today: Dave and I only made nine miles today. We were tired and sore and got off to a late start this morning. The terrain was heavily wooded with no real views, although there were some steep climbs.

May 4, 1983, 41 years ago today: I went to bed right after dinner but was not destined to get much sleep. Somewhere around 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning, the stillness of the mountain night was broken by the long, eerie shrieks of mortars plummeting to earth and subsequent loud explosions.

May 3, 1983, 41 years ago today: At a spot called Three Forks, four miles from Springer Mountain, the Appalachian Trail crossed a fire road beside the convergence of three streams which had become raging torrents. A blinding mass of rain was creating a surreal, semi-aquatic woodland.

May 3, 1983, 41 years ago today: Temperatures dropped considerably last night when the wind kicked up and stayed down today. Rather late on a cool, damp morning, I set out from Frosty Mountain, having smoked my last two cigarettes with breakfast.

May 2, 1983, 41 years ago today: At 4:20 p.m. on the afternoon of May 2, 1983 a very warm day for early May I was at the Visitors Center in Amicalola Falls State Park in north-central Georgia. I strapped on my heavy backpack and started wheezing my way up the first steep mile of the Amicalola Falls feeder trail.

September 4, 1983: The climb up Mount Kinsman was a bear. The AT followed Eliza Brook back up towards the ridge crest. At first, it climbed on a weedy, grassy old woods road above the brook, but it quickly dropped back to the banks of the stream, along which it climbed, often torturously, over the boulders filling the ravine.
