Hello everyone, My name is Jeff, 39, from Greenville, SC. Trail name Loner. I started the AT the day before Easter and just hit the 200 mile mark. The trail is a challange but having a great time hiking, camping, and meeting everyone.

Taking my first days off in Gattlinburg. Crazy town but enjoy the rest.

I'm taking video and pics of the thru hike and posting them here for anyone interested...

You said that right. It's like Myrtle Beach in the mountains. They sell "Live Hermit Crabs" there!

Thanks everyone for the comments, views, and subs. I just posted a new batch of vids filmed from the Smokies, snow, Standing Bear hostel, Hot Springs, Max Patch, Erwin TN, AT short film festival, my gear list, etc.

Having a great time and just crossed the 340 mile mark on my AT thru. Meeting lots of cool hikers. I try and mention them when I can but meet so many I may have missed some.

Internet is alittle hard to get out here on the trail but will try and update every two weeks or so. Please check em out and comment if you like. Happy hiking, Loner

Wow Jeff. Thanks so much for sharing these videos! It was like being on the trail. I watched all 4 of the trail videos on YouTube. Do you have more? The car show one was pretty cool too. I own a restored 1940 Ford that I don't drive, but display at car shows.

You really captured the trail for me. Thank you!

Hey Jeff... I just met your mom on here today. I'm a trail angel. I live 5 miles from the trail in Daleville, VA. PM me with your contact info. and I'll give you mine. Keep walking until you get to McAfee Knob... then, you'll be really close to Daleville. :) I hope the weather is good when you get to the Knob. Let me know, when you get close, if a big group of hikers are around you. The Roanoke Trail angels can set up some good trail magic for you all. Happy Trails!! :)

Thanks for watching! There are a whole bunch of short vids on the channel. Most under 3 minutes updates.

So cool you're a trail angle. My Mom really enjoys your emails and having someone who understands to write to. Sorry I carry no phone. Hope you and your daughter have fun at Trail Days. I thought about getting a ride back, but looking forward to see what's down the trail and maybe less crowds. But might go back next year. Have fun!
