Foothills Trail

[Ramble~On]

:sun Spur of the moment hikes are always the best.
The weather forecast for upstate SC over the next week couldn't be more inviting...so a solo 5 day thru hike of the Foothills Trail begins.....right now !
Oddly, it's 4:20 am....hmmm.

I ought to be able to be at Table Rock by Sunrise if I start packing now....and work out getting picked up in Oconee on Wednesday.

Have fun, it's a great trail any time of the year (except maybe August!).

In a word......... SWEET !

Crawled into Oconee at 10:23 pm last night.. I was hellbent on finishing yesterday as all I could think about was a hot shower.

Lots of dayhikers around Table Rock on Saturday but after that I pretty much had the trail to myself. I got a lobster-like sunburn and a nice heat rash. I didn't see any bear nor a rattlesnake although I kept expecting to at any minute..I did see a bunch of boar and managed a few pictures of them. The leaves aren't out yet up on the ridges and the views were pretty nice.

Just curious, but how many miles did you end up doing the last day?

[Ramble~On]

About...give or take 22.9 miles !
I hadn't planned to go all the way but when I reached 107 I figured I could hoof the rest pretty quick, my pack was light and I fell into a grove.
Plus where else can you end a hard hike at a hot shower.:D
