May 13, 1983, 43 years ago today: Heading north from Springer Mountain, the tiny unincorporated community of Wesser, North Carolina is the first trail town through which the #AppalachianTrail physically passes. This corner of Wesser is a narrow strip along the floor of the deep, heavily-wooded, steep-walled gorge which the Nantahala River has gouged through the mountains.#backpacking #hiking #landscapephotography #NorthCarolina #nature #forest #mountains #AppalachianTrail

May 13, 1983, 43 years ago today: The Appalachian Trail was a gently-graded path, meandering along wooded mountainsides, avoiding the summits of Tellico, Black, and Rocky Balds, but touching their ridge crests occasionally. After a long descent into Tellico Gap, it crossed a gravel road amid a dense cedar forest and began to climb Wesser Bald.#backpacking #hiking #mountains #landscapephotography #nature #NorthCarolina #mountains #forest #AppalachianTrail

May 12, 1983, 43 years ago today: I walked non-stop for the first 10 miles. The final 6 miles of today’s hike were nothing more than a hazy blur of fatigue. I can barely remember anything of the trail past Wayah Bald until I reached the stubbly crest of a ridge crisscrossed by logging roads four miles later.#backpacking #hiking #landscapephotography #NorthCarolina #nature #forest #mountains #AppalachianTrail #outdoors

May 12, 1983, 43 years ago today: I walked non-stop for the first ten miles. This mountain pass marked the onset of a long climb up to the summit of Wayah Bald which was the grueling climax of the ten-mile grind. Along the crest, the AT joined a paved road which had also ascended from Wayah Gap. The hard surface was not kind to my feet, which had been pounded by my non-stop marathon.#backpacking #hiking #nature #forest #NorthCarolina #landscapephotography #mountains #AppalachianTrail

May 11, 1983, 43 years ago today: It was 10:00 when I finished shopping. The streets were deserted except for me and some crickets. The store had been the only business in town still open, and it was just closing.I stopped to buy a coke from something labeled “Talking Vending Machine.”
Dropping my coins in the slot, I was treated to the tinkling notes of a music box playing the song “Home on the Range.”

May 11, 1983, 43 years ago today: When I reached Winding Stair Gap, I found a parking area by the side of the new US Highway 64, a main thoroughfare in these parts. At the edge of the parking area, a pipe jutting out from a large rock formation was gushing out delicious, cold spring water. I filled up my water bottle and sat down to drink my fill before continuing on the Appalachian Trail.#backpacking #hiking #landscapephotography #NorthCarolina #nature #mountains #AppalachianTrail

May 10, 1983, 43 years ago today: By 4:30, when I reached Betty’s Creek Gap, I had already surpassed my previous longest day, having hiked almost seventeen miles. At that point I caught an intense second wind and made the ensuing two-and-a-half-mile ascent of Albert Mountain without a stop.#backpacking #hiking #outdoors #landscapephotography #NorthCarolina #nature #forest #mountains #AppalachianTrail

May 9, 1983, 43 years ago today: Dicks Creek Cap in Georgia is the point where the Appalachian Trail crosses a lonely stretch of US 76 less than nine AT miles from the North Carolina border. My tent was pitched in the woods just past the gap. A few feet away was a roadside picnic area beside US 76 where I could make and eat dinner and breakfast in style.#backpacking #hiking #outdoors #landscapephotography #Georgia #nature #forest #mountains #AppalachianTrail

May 8, 1983, 43 years ago today: There is nothing like trying to pack up everything you own in a downpour. My sleeping bag was soaked, my tent was hopeless; everything was drenched. Adding insult to injury, the rain came to a dead stop about five minutes after I had finished packing.#backpacking #hiking #outdoors #landscapephotography #Georgia #nature #forest #mountains #AppalachianTrail
