    Default Hiking the Pinhoti

    Last fall myself and a friend and his dog hiked the Pinhoti. We started at the trail head at the northern trail head in Alabama left my truck. We we saw one person the whole time. Stayed at a shelter. I love it so nice. Blister Bob came and picked us up took us back to the truck and home we came.
    I have plans to hike all of the trail. Its beautiful and not crowded. I thank you for putting this trail on White Blazes. Enjoy it.

    I have only hiked a little (very little) of the Pinhoti but want to hike more of it. I just have to make the time to do it

    I've done it a lot. Problem is that I do not take pictures. Anyone got picture of McDill, Chinnabee Falls, High Falls, Devils ?, or even the old church. We know its beauty. Hope others find out what we already know.

    I was thinking of starting a thread called pics of the Pinhoti but this one will be good enough for that. Stories, reports, and pics of hiking the Pinhoti.

    Love the pics and entries, glad to see the folks from alatrails and Pinhoti fans are using this forum.

    Sweetspot, good to hear from you, I kept looking on trail journals for your entries about the thru on the FT/ECT.

    Southmark, I love your signature panel quote!

    I looked for that wreck but couldn't find it. Who tied those kites in the trees?

    Every time I go by this church I stop and spend some time looking at the graveyard headstones and wondering what it was like in that era.

    Less and less of the plane Crash debris remains as years go back. I think most of it has become a souvenir for those passing by. Take the Cheaha TH towards McDill Point. Just before McDill there will be a connector trail to the Right out to the crash site.

    AL PT is beautiful trail. The church doors are left open so... When were those crash debris pics taken? I don't recall that much debris in Feb when I did the PT although McDill was socked in by fog.
