Somewhere on the Trail
An awesome 4-night trip on the beautiful Ouachita Trail. My good friend Robby and I started off at Foran Gap around 1:30 on Friday afternoon and we hiked for about 8 miles and finally found a campsite. The first morning was rather cold and we both had to wear coats and I wore gloves as well. The next few days we spent searching for water and campsites. It's a fairly rugged section through there and it's also very dry until you hit Brushy Creek and from there on to Hwy 27 was filled with water. We had unbelievable weather for the entire trip and it was even warm a few nights where I had to get out of my sleeping bag partway. Overall it was a beautiful 5 days and 4 nights oin the trail and I can't wait to get back out on another trail soon.
Thanks for checking out the video and I'll see you,

Getting back on the trail after our first town stop in Silverton, Colorado. this is one incredible section of the trail with outstanding views. We pass the high point for the Colorado Trail in this section as well. most of the time we are at or near 12,000 ft, and the hiking and camping are unreal.
Thanks for watching!!!

August 12th, 2021 is the day I've been planning and waiting for since I stepped off the Arizona Trail in November of 2020. I thought about which trail I would attempt after hiking the AZT and decided on the Colorado Trail. After tons of planning and counting down the days the hike is finally starting.
I spent two full days in Durango and hoped it might help me acclimate to the extreme elevations I'm about to head into.
my friend Steve aka, The "Bionic Man" is also joining me on this crazy Northbound attempt of the Colorado Trail!!! Let's Go!!!!

Join Somewhere on the Trail with hiking friend Grand Daddy Do's on this scenic 40-mile hike from Highway 7 near Jesseville, Arkansas to Highway 27 near Story, Arkansas. We staged a car at Highway 27 and had Lori from the Bluebell Cafe shuttle us over to Highway 7 and we hit the trail a little after 1 pm. We hiked about 6 miles in and stopped at a campsite I had previously camped in 2019 on my thru-hike. On day two we clocked in about 15.5 miles and camped on a beautiful ridge about a mile before Trailhead 298. On day three the hike felt so much easier and the miles just seemed to fall away then before we knew it we had already made it to Iron Forks Creek only about a mile from the shelter we thought about staying in for the night. we hiked the .75 miles off the trail down to Uncle Bill Potter's shelter and regretted not just loading up with water at the creek and skipping the shelter. We took a pretty long break then decided to hike back up to the trail and bust out a couple more miles. As usual, we got caught in a ridge zone with no flat spots anywhere. We looked around for quite a while and then near the end of the day we stumbled across a flat spot where we could fit two tents, we set up immediately and it turned out to be a great site. On day four we were only 4.2 miles from the car but it was still a really beautiful walk over to the finish line. We arrived at the car a little before 9 am.

A quick overnight trip to the beautiful Buckeye Mountain/Caney Creek loop trail. I was lucky enough to have my friend Robby from Grand Daddy Do's join me on this hike and we had a really great time hanging out in the woods for a while.
We started on the Buckeye trail and hiked down to Caney Creek, heading west to the Cossatot River. We decided to set up a camp on the way and then head down to the river but unfortunately, we ran out of daylight.
We got up the following morning and headed back east towards the car. We made a quick side trip back to Katy Falls since we missed it on the first day.
We had great weather both days and it was a beautiful hike. Please check out my friend Robby's channel here.

My thoughts on what went wrong in my attempt to hike the Grand Enchantment Trail this year. This is the first trail that I've ever fully bailed out on during a hike. I missed a section in 2021 on the Colorado Trail but I started and finished the trail except for about 85 miles.
The constant pain in my feet ultimately made me decide I just wasn't willing to walk another 700 miles and not be able to enjoy it. So as hard as the decision was to make my body told me it was time to go home.
Thanks for watching the few videos I was able to put out on this trail and if all goes well I'll see you back on the GET in 2024.
The second leg of the journey begins on another beautiful sunny morning. I was able to get a ride from trail angel Al back to Picket Post Trailhead which saved me a 6-mile walk.
What a great day for a hike in such a beautiful area. I start off on the AZT for several miles and then the GET leaves the Arizona Trail and follows the old AZT route through some really spectacular country.
My first campsite was the best one so far, I felt like I was camping in an ancient cathedral surely native Americans must have considered this a sacred spot it's so beautiful.
On the second day, I was only about a mile from rejoining the AZT and the walk through Walnut Canyon was incredible and was definitely the most fun hiking I've had so far.
The next few days pass through the lower parts of the desert and the landscape is not quite as breathtaking as other sections but is still very beautiful.
I finally made it down to Beehive Well where I decided to camp for the night and the next morning I would leave the Arizona Trail for good as I head down Putnam Wash toward the sleepy little town of Mammoth.
At this point, my feet are shredded to the point where I'm not sure I can continue. I'm hoping that a few days off the trail will give me a chance to heal up and continue on to Klondyke and Safford. I managed to get to Mammoth a day early so maybe it will give me a better chance to recover.
Thanks for hanging out with me and I'll see you,
Somewhere on the Trail!

A wonderful sunny day outside of Phoenix Arizona and it's a perfect day to start a hike on the Grand Enchantment Trail, a 770-mile trail that runs from Phoenix to Albuquerque.
It's just a few days into Spring and the days are starting to get longer so I'm expecting to have an amazing hike.
This part of the trip will cover the beginning of the trail to Superior Arizona which will be my first town stop about 50 miles in with a 6 or 7-mile walk into town.
Thanks for hanging out with me on this part of the trip and I'll see you,
Somewhere on the trail!
