I love seeing someone out hiking. I will be back to FDR soon when I can.

[@SeniorHiker77]

We're going again next weekend to the same campsite. How many hours do you have to travel to get to FDR?

[@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD]

@@SeniorHiker77 Its about a 7 to 8 hour trip.

[@SeniorHiker77]

Yep a little to far, I was thinking it was 4 or 5 hours.

[@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD]

@@SeniorHiker77 When all this crap slows down I will come up.

[@JimHayesHiking]

I agree with you,the closer you get to the end the further away it seems,lol. Very nice video. Stay healthy.

[@SeniorHiker77]

Lol thanks Jim.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

What a beautiful beautiful sunrise lace Senior Hiker. A great place to explore. The only visitors at night when we were camping were Kangaroos 🦘 wombats and other harmless nocturnal animals. Nice adventure. Loved the views towards the lake. The last mile always seems longer because you are anticipating the end 😂 Happy Hiking 🥾 All the best.

[@SeniorHiker77]

Our vistor was harmless too. May a fox or coyote. Thanks again for stopping by Joseph.

[@CreativeGinge]

Thanks MobyLife.😃

[@ronnybru1639]

Ur videos allways so nice and informative. I came back home from the oil fields in the North sea thursday evening.. so today i went kiking 15 kilometers in rough terrain. I had with me some dinner, eggs etc and i had a wonderful dinner 600 meters above sea level... higher up i met some deep snow... my legs went down to my knees so i returned to a "sæter" ...."støl" and made my dinner there on my Primus Easyfuel. I know how it feel to fetch water from a stream like the one in ur clip.

[@SeniorHiker77]

I can't imagine life in the North Sea Oman oilfield rig.

[@KathysOutdoorAdventures]

I saw you over at FOLLOWING WALKERS WORLD channel and wanted to check out your channel. I want to backpack overnight this summer for the first time. Thanks for sharing this now I want to even more. What a great hike!

[@SeniorHiker77]

[@SectionHikingTheAT]

So glad you’re able to get out and hike! There’s nowhere I can go without walking past 50 people. I can’t wait for the trail to open back up in MD/VA.

[@SeniorHiker77]

Are you checking in with Michele on her Virginia hike? The PMT is sparsely populated now due to covid-19.

[@SectionHikingTheAT]

Senior Hiker 77 Not yet, but I will!

[@memathews]

Just beautiful down there. We've just started to green up, but the forests and trails are closed. I hope to get back out in a month or two. Stay safe 👍

[@SeniorHiker77]

Thanks we are very lucky our State park didn't close. ✌

Nice video. Thanks for taking time to make all of them. Have you ever explained how you and Mike met?

[@SeniorHiker77]

Yes Mike is my brother-in-law. I'm married 36 years to his older sister. I met Mike when he was 17 now he in his 50's.

[@rmartino1]

@@SeniorHiker77 Wow 36 years! Thats great. Well keep up the videos and thanks for the quick reply back

[@icebearhikes]

Wonderful video! That last mile had Mike P saying you'd get there "Soooooooooon!" 😄 Your hair has it's own personality.

[@SeniorHiker77]

Hey you remember MikeP's favorite saying.

[@OutsideDog]

The never ending mile indeed. I agree, the last one seems to last for ever.

[@SeniorHiker77]

It sure feels it never will end. Merry Christmas 🧑‍🎄

[@everyoneknowsadave3580]

I’m Jealous 😡 but thanks for the video ... we’re locked down “tighter than an Alabama tick” in Michigan ... I’m hoping that the restrictions are lifted a little and we can all get out and do some backpacking soon .... stay distanced and stay healthy sir .... ATB Dave Mc

[@SeniorHiker77]

Yep we are lucky our State Park didn't close but they are doing business through the office window, no one allow inside the office.

[@everyoneknowsadave3580]

Yup that’s nice maybe in a couple of weeks state park camping will be available ... I drove past one just up the road the other day ... all locked up ... oh well this too will pass eh?!!? Anyhoo just to let you know I started a new channel just for my backpacking and travel vids ... hopefully get to start making a few new ones soon ... ATB Dave Mc

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Have you hike the Pine Mountain Trail? The last hike I was on was the Dowdell's Knob trail which is only 5 miles or so. Thanks for sharing! Just subscribed to your channel!

[@SeniorHiker77]

Yes I thru-hiked the PMT twice once 2018 and again 2019. I stay at a difference FDR campsite every weekend.

[@WanderingMonkHikes]

SH, glad you stayed in the right course 🤣. I don’t like uphill climbs! Still,you have some beautiful country. What kind of backpack are you carrying? Thanks for sharing. WM

[@SeniorHiker77]

My pack is the Zpacks Arc Haul. Seems to meet my every need. 😃

[@WannabeAlpinist]

A solid Friday hike. Thanks for the footage. Have you visited Colorado? I shoot some mountaineering/hiking videos out here. Keep at it!

[@SeniorHiker77]

Never hiked in Colorado but drove through does that count? Lol

[@WannabeAlpinist]

@@SeniorHiker77 Haha, pretty much a Coloradian now!

[@BushcraftNFun]

You are lucky you are able to get out and hike. We can't go camping, we can't go on trails, can only leave home to get groceries and go to the pharmacy. On top of that we still have cold and snow and rain.

[@SeniorHiker77]

Wow now I really feel lucky.👍

Your right Its that last mile that's never ending! I've thought about going up there. How's the weather at night this time of year up there?

[@SeniorHiker77]

That night it was in the 50's not to bad but will need a jacket.

[@hikewithmike4673]

I love Pine Mountain!.....there are some tiresome switchbacks there especially when you have a heavy pack!

[@SeniorHiker77]

Tell me about it. There only a couple of hills that give me trouble. I just like to whine. Lol

[@markcummings6856]

Nice outing. Was this, this year? All the leaves already? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@SeniorHiker77]

Yes Mark it is this weekend 4/17/2020. Lol

[@markcummings6856]

Senior Hiker 77 Cool. I didn’t realize you’d have that many leaves down there this quick. Way to get out, Happy hiking!

[@atypicalhiker]

I dont remember doing all those switchbacks

[@SeniorHiker77]

You don't remember because we went the other way and went down hill. Do you remember me looking back at that couple and I said they were going the wrong way. Lol

[@atypicalhiker]

@@SeniorHiker77 I figured we went the other way. I vaguely recall you saying they were going the wrong way
