Ahh another year under the belt (humm, is that why my belts seem to be shrinking?). What better way to spend a birthday weekend then out in the woods? Ms. Terri and I loaded up the backpacks and headed out to the Pinhoti trail for a relaxing time. This was our 2nd trip to this particular spot and something about the temps NOT being in the high 90's with matching humidity seemed to make it a much better walk. We met a thru-hiker who was on his way to Florida from Canada and he was fun to talk to before he headed back on his way. He was retired and this was what he wanted to do. I can't blame him!
After we hiked back out the next day we stopped at the "official Pinhoti trail sign". For some reason it's in the middle of the trail? but it was neat seeing it for the first time after being on the trail a bunch of times. And always remember, rescues are costly AND time consuming. But I guess if they were cheap and easy there would be no reason for them.
