Kevin Bae: To record take to the audio just in case so I'm at the
rhododendron trail in Mount Airy Georgia spot an hour away from
where I live outside of Atlanta and this is listed as a moderate
trail all trails but it might be easy because some of the reviews
were saying it was fairly easy up until the near the end where
there's kind of a steep incline to get to a tower fire tower or
something it's Thursday It's May 11. Is I'm taking this hike
starting out at about 9am really pleasant morning it's overcast
it's about 65 degrees and forest is just filled in you take some
of these winter hikes and some of these areas and you see
better views sometimes because the force isn't so dense
but I like it either way a lot of ferns my dogs eating a lot of
dumb things Godfrey don't eat that much let's go
hasn't rained here in any real meaningful way in the last
several days the trail is pretty clear trail well marked it's
pretty obvious where it is pretty well walked seems let's
go on the site Joe come on Godfrey Yeah, this is the
waterfall hopefully Godfrey goes down there he can get back up
so yeah
we got taken out by a twig
really waterfall
a lot of rocks in the stream it's very easy to get across
this one and I almost ended up in the water again
oh gosh we got to grab a stick obviously me I have to take
pictures using video
he doesn't like it when we stop. Always wants to keep moving. So
if we stop anywhere
scream and cry. Get the big stick
All right let's go to the top
God Bree come here try to make our way through here
kind of went around a little bit and went to the top
so my daughter's trying to rip down a tree right now you're
part of it
a wonderful
day alright let's go back I think that's one of the
highlight stops comes early but we come back this way anyway so
if I need to take more time I can
that was the waterfall
there is another side trail
and we're gonna try it a little speed getting down there but not
terrible it's doable even while holding a selfie stick with the
360 camera
oh this is a beautiful view
Godfrey
never stand still be terrible in petition
got free soap and proper selfie
we'll just get moving on let's go back up so for the second
waterfall getting down, it's really easy up it's kind of a
steep, slippery slope here. But there are enough routes and
rocks and stuff to kind of get yourself up and we're back up
that hitting the trail
mean even my dog finds it weird that I'm holding a selfie stick
way up above my head. This Insta 360 camera is still new to me I
only didn't done I think just a few videos on it at home to
experiment with once walking around the neighborhood this is
the first time taking it out on the trail it's not like I like
to have other things to hold on to while I hike just like to
record some of these things who knows how much longer I'll be
able to do such stuff I'm 56 My dog is almost eight and a half
so no matter how many years he has left doing this
I thought it'd be fun to get some interesting video while I
can before either technology runs away from me or gets too
expensive for me to care
in this thing seems to be pretty cool
but I have to admit keeping track of one more thing to take
video with or pictures is a bit of a pain you gotta charge
everything
make sure it's all ready to go nice little stream
hopefully my camera didn't get too wet
one thing I know I haven't mastered is just taking short
clips they have a lot of automated video making
capabilities in the app if you're taking certain types of
short clips you can put together some cool video and I'm not that
cool Can we get a small stream crossing here we can go here
where my dog is or go this way or the some rocks
taking some pictures looks like a beaver dam
maybe maybe that I don't know how neat beavers make dams
got my camera cut in the tree
all right Godfrey
got another incline here. Under these are two bed
don't know if any of these inclines are ever conveyed? Well
In photographs hopefully they come up better on the video
these are really great yeah this is definitely a mountain laurel
this tree right here just planted the same thing in my
yard different colored flower the same type
much wants to hear
right now I've got my selfie stick under a bridge camera and
the other hand trying to take photos of my dog in the humidity
is very high right now and it's very cool outside but I am
sweating bullets unbelievable amounts of sweat see stream
Where's the dog
Hey Godfrey you never say still for the photo?
Shit just dropped my phone in the water that's the first time
that has ever happened in my life
but find out how waterproof my phone really is
so where is this thing this way up the road
let's go on the opposite side. And since we're on a road and
let me kind of take you a bit closer.
Even Godfrey is tired of the inclines. We made it to the
tower
and the bonus is yes, it's all downhill. From here back to the
car.
G G 26
You stop eating bad things please
right the sun peeking through the trees now making fun of just
a beautiful scene.
didn't get any video of it on the way up
he had a green trail that goes to the campgrounds and doesn't
have a color for this trail. And I can see that takes us to the
road that's where we're going back to the road
Mr Godfrey
gonna get a drink go drink
didn't even drink
let's go
stream we crossed earlier
and our stones to cross not difficult you might get your
feet a little wet it's not that hard my shoes are waterproof and
then worried about it see now you can go this way and go
around or you can go the long way tried it earlier which I
don't know why this looks pretty easy to go this way just kind of
walk up the embankment
going to go back down to the waterfall oh my god let's go
Unknown: make it we've already done this
Kevin Bae: whoa he's already done it I've already done it and
then I almost go down
so that was truly a casual hike up until the steep incline at
the end, but you know you get through that you get up to the
monument. Take your pictures, you relax a little bit and you
come back and it's mostly downhill. So it's not a long
hike not a hard hike
it's corny Godfrey Khmer.
