January 29, 2013 By Leave a Comment
On New Year’s Eve this year, we decided to get some exercise in advance of a night of consumption and calories. Carter’s Lake was conveniently located near our cabin in Ellijay, so we drove around the 3,200 acre lake and found the visitor’s center.

This is the trailhead for The Jarrard Gap Trail that leads from Lake Winfield Scott to the Appalachain Trail. The Jarrard Gap Trail starts with a hike through a forest and across a small stream, but quickly hits a forest road for about 0.3 miles. Boone was enjoying the hike. After 1.2 miles I reach the […]

Here is a video slideshow of my 1994 Thru-Hike on the Appalachian Trail. I mixed the video two years later in Charlotte, NC using an old VHS camera and a mic/mixing system from the Video Editor.
