The Art Loeb Trail - Misery & Magic

[@ChrisJankowski]

Been missing your smile and humor. Glad your back on trail.

[@GoStuhlers]

Great to see you smiling again and joking around (love that sly grin!)… I hope the grieving process is nearing its end and the healing is setting in more each day…and welcome back to the great state of NC, second only to PA…God speed.

[@MrEllio7]

Good to see you back on a trail. Thanks for sharing the video

[@FF7824]

[@johnrmclaughlin1725]

Great to see Rocket smiling and back on a trail. Life is too short for staying indoors.

[@williamzr2]

She’s back!!

[@turragorman59]

Good to see you back Rocket.

[@laurarunshappy5867]

So nice to see you looking so calm & happy. Great hike! Look forward to more.

[@HikingPisgah]

I hiked the art loeb the first time in 92. Shelters were rough then too. They have not gotten better over the years. Still one of my favorite trails.

[@jeffcovault6963]

Glad to see you back Rocket

[@meghantewksbury492]

So glad to see you back out on the trail looking SO happy!

[@bundyesq]

Nice to have you on trail again. You're in one of my favorite parts of the country. My wife and I have chased a lot of waterfalls in western NC and northeastern TN. Keep moving!

[@nancyward9719]

I got hooked on waterfalls about a year ago. I'm in East TN. Any out of the way or little known falls I should check out in my area and WNC?

[@danieltremblay5786]

Good to see you back on the trail!

[@teresalyday-selby9468]

Yay! You're back! Good to see you!

[@ForzaMonkey]

I must say, the area surrounding Camp Daniel Boone is one of the best parts of the Appalachians. I went to the camp last summer to do one of their high adventure itineraries in Panthertown Valley. I'd strongly recommend hiking there, but you will come across people if you go to some of the waterfalls on the main trails.

[@tristan8141]

I love the background music in this

[@thomasjarosz7406]

rocket, Glad to see you back on trail. Be safe be yourself. God Bless

[@jonallenoutside]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your adventure!

[@billkittrell1186]

If you are still in the area check out the Foothills Trail on the border of NC and SC very well maintained and very much like the AT. The Chatooga river section is awesome (remember Deliverance!)

[@melsmith5715]

So happy to see you again Rocket!! Missed you!!

[@Jimbo-pm1dp]

Great vid Rock....so glad to see you back on trail...gotta say you are a doll....loved the music as well !!

[@snakebite5596]

awesome times, I love the art loeb, shining rock wilderness is epic.the trail magic is provided by mountain high shuttles,that cooler has been there since early June! love your videos.happy trails!

[@colleenbreining624]

Nice to see you out hiking again! Looks like a nice couple days hike.

[@kelliesharpe1067]

If you’re living near the Smokies now, you should hike some of the trails that go up to places on the AT where you’ve already been but there’s some beautiful ways to get there. Like Anthony Creek to Thunderhead aka Rocky Top. Really beautiful in the snow. Or hike the section between Clingmans and Newfound Gap when it’s green. Thru hikers miss the best part of the year there because they get there too early. It’s amazing when it’s green. Or Wayah Bald when the color is best in about 10 more days.

[@littlethislittlethat456]

Rocket, Always enjoy your videos. Beer solves everything at the end of the trail. John from MI

[@Hobomountainwander]

I am glad you guys you enjoyed the Art Loeb trail. I really enjoyed hiking the trail, last year, after I thru hiked the Pinhoti and Benton Mackay trail.

[@tacklebill4835]

Rocket Another quality video ! Thank you.

[@WNC_comms]

Just completed my 3rd Art Loeb Thru Hike this year. You described it well! My favorite trail!

[@HeisMercy]

Glad to see you are back Rocket!! We missed you =)

[@dorindaalberthal1316]

Hi, I came across your channel while recovering from covid and actually watched your past videos from 2019. Thank you!! I’ve really enjoyed your channel and look forward to future videos. Safe & Happy trails🥾

[@evanpelaccia1772]

Welcome back Rocket!

[@wanderingoutyonder]

So glad to see you back on trail! Future adventures await!

[@barrytimmerman2411]

Good to see you back Rocket. 👍

[@marksheffield4941]

Very cool blog of a fall hike in southern Appalachian. I hiked the AT this year and it reminding me a lot of the trail in the first 900 miles, great memories. Great to see you smiling. I feel your in a much better place than when you left the CDT.

[@dp26385]

Those little Coleman heaters are really handy!

[@wineberryred]

Hell of a year, AZT, good chuck of the CDT, and now the Art Loeb!

[@stillwaterhiker]

The Blue Ridge Parkway rocks. Good to see you again Rocket!

[@inarichards7554]

I was there too , missed seeing y’all!

[@roselee_explores]

Loved the Art Loeb ... you guys should try out the Black Mountain Crest trail as well!

[@danielcgomez]

wow! ...I haven't gotten any KZbin notifications about your last few uploads(Thanks KZbin!) ...I'm glad to see you back at Thru-hiking again Rocket! All the best for the Season, and have a blast in the new year!

[@kdavis4910]

I really enjoy your hikes. Ty for taking the time to film and edit. Edit: were it not for all the gear advancement i wouldn't be able to backpack at all. It's given the trail back to some of us.

[@carmenhernandez6102]

You look well rested!! Glad to see you hiking.. GBU

[@terryweaver9770]

There she is…hell yeah? Missed ya, Rocket!!

[@three-cats-photography]

"The Narrows" reminds me why I like hiking in California so much more than out East. j/k (though kinda really) this looks like a nice little weekend trail.

[@rasmusklitgaard3648]

Corey seems super nice even when you are teasing him :-) Good to see you back Rocket.

[@radisson8627]

Thanks for sharing 🥾

[@chase-mode]

Love this! This is a fairly local trail to me.

[@jocky2]

That was fun, nice to see you again.

[@LordQuiche]

Looks like a nice time 🖖

[@williamritter7054]

Are you thinking about hiking the North Carolina Mountain to Sea Trail ?

[@barbarataychert4910]

Nice footage.

[@billthompson4197]

Thanks for sharing! That man looks familiar, I believe we saw each other thru-hiking in 2012. I''m itching to hike, I went day hiking checking out the Laurel Highlands trail a couple weeks ago while camping nearby at a place called Linn Run. A thru hike of that trail is hatching in my brain, lol

[@K777C]

Love this!

[@mikecortes8481]

So good to see you making content again!😁 missed your beautiful vids!!🤙

[@brandielewis9432]

Great to see you out hiking, I've been loving following your videos! If you have a chance I'd love a review of your LiteAF pack, I noticed you loaned it out!! Do you still love it, find it comfy, any features you especially love?? Happy hiking.

[@ihikefar]

Damn that Pilot Mountain climb……

[@IslandUncharted]

Your so amazing, im new to KZbin and I honestly have to tell you that your amazing... I watched your stuff from beginning to end..... i laughed, had a tear or two and it hit home... thank you for inspiring me

[@Casual_BackPacking]

Friends call me John, the ladies call me long 😏

[@giants2995]

On. Da. Trail. Love it!

[@markeverettjohnson99]

Been missing your Posts!

[@ThomasGapinski]

Nice video! Definitely get great views after Black Balsam. Hiking up to Shining Rock and Cold Mt are worthwhile if you have time.

[@freedomwon2004]

I was out running last night and had to shoot a snot rocket and started laughing! Laughing because I was wondering how you where doing!!! Glad to see your back.

[@trail70brent]

So funny every time I have to shoot out a snot rocket I think of rocket also and how is she doing lol

[@ignorethis68]

kuhB@@M!!!

[@johnq.public553]

Bravo, you found a tent mate.

[@Hikingwith_Christina]

What brand of green sweatshirt you wear?

[@jls935]

Melanzana leadville micro grid!

[@ernestjones7139]

I was doing a section hike on the AT between Dick's Creek Gap and the NOC at the same time you were here on the Art Loeb. I saw your tag "ROCKET" on the back wall in the Wesser Bald shelter near the NOC, if that was indeed your tag from your thru hike. Great time and weather to be out on the trail!

[@jls935]

Ive never tagged a shelter or written on the wall. Youll only see my signage in hostels or approved places ♥️

[@black_dog_barks]

Cory ...aka Long John...lol...looks like the two are in love...

[@jls935]

🥰🥰🥰

[@puravidamy4162]

Always wanted an orange tent. Anyone know what tent it was?

[@jls935]

Its the big agnes tiger wall!

[@puravidamy4162]

@@jls935 Got it. Thanks Julia.

[@TressaZimmerman]

Awesome!😄👍👣🤙🤘

[@toadflax636]

What is "long John"? Help us who are not familiar with the character...

[@jls935]

Hes my new hiking partner ♥️

[@edwarddeberry2404]

Which breweries did you go to, and which was your favorite?

[@Veteran22out]

Get those miles in until next time be safe

[@sonyarenee8436]

Ooh what pack are you using? I love that blue color, looks almost iridescent!

[@jls935]

Its the Gossamer Gear g4-20

[@samantham9175]

Which way is the preferred way? North to South or South to North? Love your videos Rocket!!!!!

[@jls935]

It depends on when you want the views! We saved the views for last! We went northbound

[@Casual_BackPacking]

No compass or map?

[@timking1283]

Great trail, but Asheville after my section hike gets a 10-10 they like mountain sleaze like me.

[@steveb8178]

New shelter st butter gap. Deep gap shelter being rebuilt

[@dontaylor8910]

You would have had pictures of shining rock, it's a bit off trail. Cold MTN is another side trail is another off shot to check off list.

[@jls935]

We accidentally climbed shining rock. The massive quartz boulder at the top was ice cold!

[@lawrenceconstantine7735]

I never hiked in trail runner sneakers I had Vasque with ankle support or even good workboots. I was never a pizza person and I won't say what I called it. I was a sub/hoagie person I don't care how good everyone says the pizza is it's a fib/lie. When hiking multiple bags of jerky. good to see you back out there kid-o.

[@tomfowkes2705]

Go Rocket!!!

[@arickmcgovna9014]

I've always thought it was weird how people who hike complain about Trail maintenance they remind me of people that use the motorized shopping carts at a grocery store when they don't need it

[@davidpayne1519]

I do miss you young lady

[@dontaylor8910]

Now do Linville gorge

[@treatjoseph]

Ain't doing a bunch of miles in the gorge. That place will humble you in more ways than one. Gorge Rat, last!

[@Jimbo-pm1dp]

I dont much care for those green tunnels....but ohh well...cant all be like the PCT !!!

[@stevenbradford6824]

New boyfriend?

[@zaftra]

Boyfriend seemed hard work, be no good on that Florida trail.
