Those sites you were looking down on as you were walking from the privy were nice and soft- my kids did a section hike and we met them , live not too far from here and hike all the time/ anyway that fire was intense, my theory is that it burnt up all top layer of mulchy, leafe liter etc . My husband and I hiked here in 1984 - the trail has changed - the foot bridge wasn’t there and we hiked up and over the mountain behind the shelter all the way to 501 , now it goes along the James to Matt’s Creek shelter .

The grass comes from the baskets on the hiking poles, dropping seeds picked up along the way, and is considered an invasive transplant.

[@jamesbonner5989]

Natural grass. Hope you have a good night.

[@starbrdtack]

The grass along the edges of the trail is the result of loosed soil from hiking pole and wind blown grass seeds.

[@Lightning77AThiker]

Props to those out there now that can handle this heat. I'm ready to get out there this fall for a section hike .

[@Elizabeth-pt4bv]

Good hike, great company, glad you're able to get out and leave work / matrix behind

[@Ramdinohikes]

Thanks 👍

[@jenniferbuynitzky412]

Leave all the home stuff at home and enjoy the trail! So glad you're taking us along on your trip! Stay safe and I will look forward to the next video. ~Monarch

[@tommybewick]

What's up with the Facebook Appalachian Trail 2024 group being so down on you? I don't get it? You're doing a great service to the hiking community and I completely support you!

[@MaryTravels53]

Me too!

[@Ramdinohikes]

@tommybewick the admin is a piece of work according to one of the members. Someone reported my post as abusive ,typical for a keyboard warrior who can remain anonymous as a troll. Obviously there not but there will always be those who just like being asshats because they can do so without fear of reprisal and can hide behind their screens. Tks for your support.

[@stevecollins9819]

Love this video!

[@Lovesracing19]

Safe travels.

[@williamking4316]

Thanks for a Great video! Stay Safe!!

[@Ramdinohikes]

Thanks, you too!

[@jeffstone28]

I think the grass is natural and has something to do with the disturbance made by people's footsteps. Probably the leaves further in suppress grass from sprouting.

[@melshea2519]

In large quantities, hiker funk is an excellent compost which will make grass grow very well! 😮BACON WRAP

[@suehancock5573]

[@Ramdinohikes]

[@Ramdinohikes]

Tk you so much JuliaJayATOP

[@deirdresims9875]

Shale rock.

[@Ramdinohikes]

tks i wondered

[@carlthompsopn3351]

I think that they seed the sides of the trail to keep the erosion down

[@pennywilliams841]

Natural grasses

[@justjonoutdoors]

Devil’s Marbleyard is about 3 miles off trail.

[@billevans9231]

Makes no sense to have a great than a year old notice there.

[@stevecollins9819]

What shoes are you wearing?

[@Ramdinohikes]

Homa Speedgoats. Should be a link in the product section
