2023 Appalachian Trail Section Hike | Day 2

Day two of my 2023 Appalachian Trail section hike. I start out at Muskrat creek shelter and hike a little over 12 miles to Carter gap shelter. It was definitely a cold start to the morning at 12 degrees.

Thank you!

[@TerryYoungOutdoors]

I'm super jealous. You are now officially ahead of me. I would have loved to join you on that section. Congratulations!

[@CarlsonAdventures]

Thanks man. I’m sure you will catch up!

[@TrailMedic911]

Wow, another beautiful day. Living the “DREAM”! I bet you wish you could just keep on going to Katahdin!!!

[@CarlsonAdventures]

Absolutely.

[@thathikingguy]

Nice one man. I’m glad you’re stopping to enjoy the views because that’s the most important thing

[@CarlsonAdventures]

Thanks man. The views were incredible there this time of year.

[@DMSAdventures]

Mountains and freezing and bears, oh my! Just another average day on the AT huh!? On my only 10 mile day so far I recall being cooked.... and that terrain was perfectly flat!! Loved all the views. Its nice there are no leaves to obscure them yet!

[@CarlsonAdventures]

Yeah. This time of year is nice without the leaves. 10 miles is just getting warmed up. Just wait for the next episodes.

[@cachemacstrailtime]

Looked like a pretty good climb. Man thats cold.

[@CarlsonAdventures]

It’s a tough trail for sure

[@Ambohouse]

Good call on not feeding the bears.. Awesoem trip so far.. views look amazing.

[@CarlsonAdventures]

Thanks Tony. One of my goals in life is not to be a meal for another animal. Lol

Go Carlson! Go Carlson! Just did 10 miles all the way around Deam lake, part of KT. Have a great time taking it all in.

[@CarlsonAdventures]

Thanks Stoney. Deam lake is beautiful. I got to see some of it when I did the KT.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Brrr! But those views make up for it. I'm sure you warm up quickly going up and down those hills!

[@CarlsonAdventures]

Be bold and start cold seemed to be the motto the first two mornings. But you definitely warm up as you start a climb!

[@tonyabrowninghikes]

Enjoyed the video. Great views! Good choice...Definitely don't need to wrestle any bears if you don't have to.

[@CarlsonAdventures]

Thanks Tonya. And no, I’m not wrestling any bears.
