Rabbit Creek Trail/Hannah Mountain Trail/Campsites 16 & 14

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:8-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:19-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Great message. Thanks for sharing the word

[@SalineScott]

Thank you and thanks for watching

[@jeffs6229]

Scott is was a true pleasure meeting you on trail! I have been a subscriber of yours for a long time and I appreciate your message of love and grace that is only found in HIm. God bless you my friend, keep backpacking and confessing your faith! Thanks for the shout out brother!

[@SalineScott]

You’re welcome. It was a great pleasure to meet you too. Congratulations on finishing up your 900 miles too. I meant to put that in the video and forgot.

[@jeffs6229]

@@SalineScott I was worried that I might have freaked you out calling out your name like that, but I was star-struck seeing a KZbinr I follow! I'll see you again up there someday soon; although done with the 900 I'll never stop going up there! The Smokies are my playground! The Lord works like that, He brings believers together to help encourage one another. Your message is one of TRUTH and our Savior's love is found around every turn of the trail. Be well my friend.

[@SalineScott]

@@jeffs6229 Thank you for the kind and encouraging words. You did not freak me out at all. I have met someone before that follows me on top of house mountain. I think it’s pretty neat to run into people that follow you. We will have to get together sometime in plan a trip and have a Bible study around the campfire. That would be pretty neat

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Gods grace is overwhelming. Well said Scott. Beautiful area for some outdoor fun and I love the harmonica playing 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SalineScott]

Thank you, Jason. I really enjoyed this trip. Can’t wait to get back out and do another one.

[@johnmccormick8836]

Thanks Scott! I watched and listened to a few of your videos as I unpacked from my trip. Felt like I was still there!

[@SalineScott]

Thanks, John. After yesterday, I am so glad to be back home. I had to hike out in the rain this morning, but it wasn’t too bad because it was only 3 miles to the car. I did not get a ride, so I had to do the road walk yesterday and when I hit Panther Creek Trail, it was so steep I didn’t think I was going to make the last mile of it. That is a tough climb. I did not get to the campsite until a little after 6 o’clock. I was so tired so I set up camp, eat, and went to bed. I did not sleep that good from where I was so tired though.

[@LostOnLandAgain]

That was such an uplifting video. Congratulations on finally seeing your bear!

[@SalineScott]

Thank you for the encouraging words, Lola. I was nervous, but yet excited about seeing that bear. Lol.

[@DavidSafford]

Great stuff! Thanks for showing us one of the most remote corners of the Park.

[@SalineScott]

Thanks for watching, David. I really enjoyed this trip and can’t wait to get back out there.

[@potatothorn]

great video for a Sunday morning, so nice out there and wonderful talk... BEAR!! fantastic you saw a bear/ we can just "bearly" make it out in the video, nice! glad you got to see one. Roxana and i saw a small one run across the road in front of our truck in yosemite in august/ fascinating animals.. beautiful solitude in the forest looks like an excellent trip thanks for taking us along

[@SalineScott]

Thank you. I was excited but a little scared when I saw the bear. He was about 75ft away from me, but as soon as we saw each other, he took off. He was so fast I almost didn’t even get the little bit that I caught of him. It was a great trip though. I can’t wait to get back out again.

[@JulesGardening]

Digging that harp brother! Glad to see you still doing it! Having a watch on a Tuesday night. Thanks for sharing.

[@SalineScott]

Thanks, Jamie. I’m trying to put some music together using my amp, mike, and looper. It’s a bit of a learning curve for me right now, But I think I’ll get it

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Saw where you came over to my channel so I'm retuning the favor. Loved your point about your watch phone and scripture, that was a great lesson. The scenery was there and it's wonderful to hear you sing while walking in God's creation.

[@SalineScott]

God bless you. I thought the singing was horrible… But, I know God likes hearing us worship him. I heard about your channel from Jules/Jamie. I’m glad to hear that you do a Friday night prayer meeting. Praise the Lord

[@mooseknuckleoutdoors]

That was an awesome trip that you brought us along for. I really enjoyed this Scott. Good to see you

[@SalineScott]

It’s good to hear from you too, Andy. Thank you.

[@hikewithmike4673]

the harmonica is back!...I think you need a bigger can of bear spray that one you have on the strap is too small...."I think we need a bigger can!"..lol....great adventure for sure

[@SalineScott]

Lol. Yeah. That might not do much. Was just told that wasp and hornet spray works better than bear spray. I may start carrying some of that.

[@jbhuling]

Almost to 1000, awesome!!

[@SalineScott]

Almost. Lol. Been there for a while.

[@mitnwes]

Great video Scott. I was at #13 Saturday night and ran into Nathan who was at #16 when you were there. I made a video of my trip and posted it. We need to do a trip together soon. God bless and happy trails

[@SalineScott]

That is cool. Nathan has a lot of good tips on backpacking. I subscribed to his dad and had commented on his channel and he told me that he camped out with Nathan at campsite 13 the next night as well, so I’m guessing you met his dad as well. I think it would be pretty neat to get together with you sometime and go hike. I’ll be sure to go and check out your trip

[@mitnwes]

@@SalineScott I have been on several backpacking trips with Bryan

[@JulesGardening]

Fine witnessing. Amen to the Bible Study Scott. Check out Walsh Family Farms. He has a Friday Truck series, which is actually a prayer meeting. Video post so you can watch when you have time. I think you will enjoy it. Tony is good folk. Peace brother. Be blessed. 🌞

[@SalineScott]

Thanks. I went and subbed to him. Sounds like a god channel. God bless you too

[@HikeIntoTheSunset]

Hey, thanks for the informative video. I am heading down for a 3 night trip from about ten hours away early Thanksgiving week and I want to see as much as I can and have never been to the park before. I plan on starting at twentymile trailhead and going to cs 12 then looping up by Cades cove onto rabbit creek and probably stay at 14. Would you say it's a decent site? It looked fine somwhere else someone said it sucks lol. Then I'm going to head back down by gregory bald my last night. That rabbit creek crossing is going to suck in late November Haha.

[@SalineScott]

The Abrams Creek Crossing On the rabbit creek trail is down by the Abrams campground. The route you’re talking about I would probably stay at campsite 92, and then go Buy campsite 13 and take a right and go down the road walk and then come back down to campsite 12. After that I would continue down that trail and back to campsite 13 and then go down to campsite 95 to make a figure eight out of the trail. If that sounds confusing, my email is on my about page. Send me your phone number, and I’ll call you and try to give you a better description.

[@HikeIntoTheSunset]

@@SalineScott thanks for the reply. If I decide to do a shorter trip I'll do something like you said. But it looks like if I head up from cs12 to parson branch rd I can take that up to the rabbit creek trail where you started and did that water crossing right?

[@SalineScott]

@@HikeIntoTheSunset That is correct.
