Big Bald, NC - Returning to the Appalachian Trail for more adventure. - Video

After wandering off of the Appalachian Trail from Big Butt Mountain - and hiking for 18 miles or so into Erwin, I decided to return to then Trail at Sam’s Gap - Mile 320 and spend 2 days hiking back into Erwin Mile 345. Today was a gorgeous day and I backpacked for 11.1 miles from Sam’s Gap to Whistling Gap where I camped essentially alone. I had a campfire and watched some Television. Prior to this, I spent almost two hours enjoying the scenery from Big Bald.
