1
00:00:13,950 --> 00:00:20,880
Kevin Bae: All right, we're at
the weather leather wood trail

2
00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:28,890
leather wood Loop Trail at the
where the heck are we Friday

3
00:00:28,890 --> 00:00:32,490
branch Trailhead that's what
it's called. But then on my

4
00:00:33,150 --> 00:00:39,270
alltrails app it's called the
leather loop trail or

5
00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:40,530
Leatherwood Loop Trail

6
00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:48,550
lock up my car

7
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:10,620
hit the start button

8
00:01:15,780 --> 00:01:17,040
me see where I'm going

9
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:37,170
Somehow I don't think this
thing's going in the right

10
00:01:37,170 --> 00:01:43,230
direction Why is the map upside
down

11
00:01:49,709 --> 00:01:55,019
All right, so I guess the first
part of this is down a Forest

12
00:01:55,019 --> 00:01:59,669
Service road is blocked. blocked
for cars

13
00:02:11,550 --> 00:02:17,520
it's a brisk morning by 40
degrees starting out. Today is

14
00:02:17,790 --> 00:02:27,780
Leap Day, February 29 2024. This
is not a super long trail. I

15
00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:30,630
forgot how long it is a couple
miles maybe. So it's not gonna

16
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:34,950
take that long to do the trip.
But it's been a while since

17
00:02:34,950 --> 00:02:35,670
we've gotten out

18
00:02:46,650 --> 00:02:49,710
so I just wanted to get back out
on the trail

19
00:02:57,300 --> 00:02:59,730
and Godfrey is already eating
things he shouldn't be eating

20
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,670
Friday branch trail

21
00:03:20,580 --> 00:03:23,520
we are not up to the loop yet. I
wonder how long it takes to get

22
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:23,970
there

23
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,430
we're just going to do some
pretty brisk walking so I can

24
00:03:38,430 --> 00:03:45,090
get my body temperature up. This
is just a flat road right now.

25
00:03:45,090 --> 00:03:47,490
So it's not even not that
difficult to walk

26
00:03:54,660 --> 00:03:56,700
I think I mentioned at the top
this is part of the

27
00:03:56,730 --> 00:04:03,180
Chattahoochee National Forest.
There's a small parking area at

28
00:04:03,180 --> 00:04:09,090
the front probably fit about, I
don't know. Six or seven cars.

29
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:14,850
Plus, apparently, either people
do off roading or maybe they're

30
00:04:16,470 --> 00:04:19,470
ride horses here. I don't know
there's a large parking area

31
00:04:19,470 --> 00:04:20,580
looks like for trailers.

32
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:32,910
I usually post pictures in the
podcast. Oh, using chapter

33
00:04:32,910 --> 00:04:42,510
images. And there'll be links on
my website, the casual hype.com.

34
00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:49,410
And in the show notes for
podcast apps that you can use to

35
00:04:49,410 --> 00:04:54,540
see the chapter images also be
transcripts as well. I have a

36
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,580
transcription service I use that
creates a transcript of of the

37
00:04:59,580 --> 00:05:06,510
audio And then I make generally
I usually make a YouTube video

38
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:13,500
of the pictures in the video I
take while I'm out hiking. And

39
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:19,800
you may notice this time around
my dog Godfrey has like this

40
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:29,160
bear spot on his rear left side
because I took a trip to Paris a

41
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,240
few weeks ago. And this dog gets
separation anxiety after about

42
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,400
three or four days when he's at
the kennel, he starts to look

43
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,660
himself in the hind end
something I hadn't been able to

44
00:05:42,660 --> 00:05:43,260
solve

45
00:05:50,220 --> 00:05:54,180
so if you see that bear spot,
that's what that is. Doesn't

46
00:05:54,180 --> 00:05:57,870
maybe it doesn't show too much
on pictures. And he didn't do

47
00:05:57,870 --> 00:06:01,230
too bad of a job on himself this
time because I took some

48
00:06:01,230 --> 00:06:09,600
precautions of having a cone and
the vet actually gave him some

49
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,190
anti anxiety medication which
apparently didn't work all that

50
00:06:14,190 --> 00:06:18,060
well. It's kind of a high energy
dog. So when he gets started on

51
00:06:18,060 --> 00:06:25,980
something and he gets started,
it's hard to stop this like I

52
00:06:25,980 --> 00:06:28,890
guess that's I'm still getting
used to the weather in Georgia.

53
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:34,560
This is only my starting my
fourth year living here. So the

54
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:41,130
the winter is a funny thing. So
they have you know in the

55
00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:44,610
Atlanta area, they definitely
have four seasons so it doesn't

56
00:06:44,610 --> 00:06:50,070
get cold in the winter, it
doesn't get super cold and you

57
00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:58,020
really don't have too many days
or whatever where you're below

58
00:06:58,020 --> 00:07:02,580
freezing you know you will have
the occasional full day where

59
00:07:02,580 --> 00:07:06,780
it's below freezing and it will
drop down I've since I've been

60
00:07:06,780 --> 00:07:12,240
here it's been as low as five or
six degrees. And certain days

61
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,090
definitely people horseback ride
here because there's horse shit

62
00:07:18,090 --> 00:07:22,080
in the middle of their horse
poop in the middle of the road

63
00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:32,340
so they do get seasons here but
it's not like in Chicago where

64
00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:37,620
we'll go through a couple of
weeks every winter where the

65
00:07:37,620 --> 00:07:40,140
temperature will not get above
freezing. You know it'll be in

66
00:07:40,140 --> 00:07:44,340
the in the teens or single
digits at night sometimes during

67
00:07:44,340 --> 00:07:47,700
the day. But

68
00:07:53,010 --> 00:07:58,830
doesn't really doesn't really
get doesn't really stay below

69
00:07:58,830 --> 00:08:06,300
freezing here. So you get I
think if you average that out,

70
00:08:06,570 --> 00:08:10,170
at least just from my experience
not looking at any temperature

71
00:08:10,170 --> 00:08:21,270
statistics I would say their
lows in the wintertime are light

72
00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:30,750
from the 30s and 40s. And the
highs in the 50s and 60s. So

73
00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:33,960
given those averages when you
when you look at the way some of

74
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,360
the days go like yesterday, it
was in the 70s and the day

75
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,330
before that it was in the 70s
and at night it was like in the

76
00:08:42,330 --> 00:08:50,610
60s. The storm came through
yesterday and a front came

77
00:08:50,610 --> 00:08:57,990
through and the temperature
dropped overnight to where it

78
00:08:57,990 --> 00:09:01,350
was like in the upper 30s this
morning. So right now it's

79
00:09:01,350 --> 00:09:06,540
probably about 40 degrees where
I'm at. I think now that I'm

80
00:09:06,540 --> 00:09:08,280
deeper in the woods, it's
probably dropped a couple

81
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:17,040
degrees now we're starting to
hit up a little bit of a hill on

82
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,010
this road but

83
00:09:31,289 --> 00:09:38,099
it makes for mild winters for
the most part with a couple

84
00:09:38,459 --> 00:09:42,059
drops in temperature. But then
you get you know you got these

85
00:09:42,059 --> 00:09:47,759
weird days where it'll be 70 And
then the next day it'll be 40 or

86
00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:48,299
50.

87
00:09:57,870 --> 00:10:04,410
But it's okay for me. It's mine
Like I ditched my heavy winter

88
00:10:04,410 --> 00:10:09,720
jacket when I left Chicago to
move down here and I've never

89
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,140
needed it

90
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:25,020
you know, I used to use a heavy
ski jacket and big gloves I kept

91
00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:29,340
the gloves but they're just in
the car for when I travel and

92
00:10:29,340 --> 00:10:39,660
now I just use a if it gets cold
like like you know really cool

93
00:10:39,660 --> 00:10:47,910
down in the 20s or whatever I
have a travel jacket that I use

94
00:10:49,290 --> 00:10:55,980
one of those travel jackets that
fold up into a pocket let's

95
00:10:55,980 --> 00:11:00,930
that's basically my cold weather
winter gear now it's it's kind

96
00:11:00,930 --> 00:11:04,920
of funny. I think the reason I
bought that is because we

97
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:11,910
traveled to Europe at least once
a year now. And sometimes we go

98
00:11:14,250 --> 00:11:18,600
you know when it's cold, we
traveled in the offseason so

99
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:24,060
generally it's in the fall or
the spring and it can get cold a

100
00:11:24,060 --> 00:11:31,800
little bit chilly in the 40s
when we're over there and so

101
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,870
this jacket is perfect for
traveling because it doesn't

102
00:11:33,870 --> 00:11:39,150
take up space but even when it
gets down into the 30s and stuff

103
00:11:39,150 --> 00:11:42,300
I've tested it here in the 20s
keeps me perfectly warm I

104
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:45,630
probably could have live with
that in Chicago and just stayed

105
00:11:45,630 --> 00:11:52,920
away from the giant ski jacket
because you know honestly when

106
00:11:53,370 --> 00:11:57,330
when it's five degrees outside
in Chicago you're not really

107
00:11:57,330 --> 00:12:04,740
hanging around outside for very
long today shaping up to be nice

108
00:12:04,740 --> 00:12:13,230
though it's a little chilly
right now and there's like some

109
00:12:13,230 --> 00:12:18,210
high high clouds but the sky
still looks really nice and blue

110
00:12:20,610 --> 00:12:25,230
section really high thin clouds
so it's a beautiful morning

111
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:46,619
perfect for a late winter hike
for I suppose in the February's

112
00:12:46,619 --> 00:12:59,309
kind of mid mid winter still
What are you crying for? See a

113
00:12:59,309 --> 00:13:11,789
sign must be caught up to the
trail actual trail yep we'll be

114
00:13:11,819 --> 00:13:20,639
on the orange trail. So you got
three here you got the path to

115
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:25,019
the fruity branch loop you got
the Leatherwood Creek loop which

116
00:13:25,769 --> 00:13:27,749
I guess that's what we're
supposed to be on and then the

117
00:13:27,749 --> 00:13:32,729
perimeter trail well we'll find
out because in the alltrails app

118
00:13:33,959 --> 00:13:46,529
it's listed as a what is it
listed as the leather wood it is

119
00:13:46,529 --> 00:13:47,429
leather wood true

120
00:13:54,419 --> 00:13:56,579
got 5g connection here and it's
not bad

121
00:14:02,039 --> 00:14:07,349
weather would loop trail. So I'm
guessing it's a Leatherwood

122
00:14:07,349 --> 00:14:11,699
Creek loop. It should actually
use the correct name. names

123
00:14:11,699 --> 00:14:19,589
these things. Yeah. Alright, so
we will go counterclockwise.

124
00:14:20,249 --> 00:14:21,779
Because it's the way I like to
walk

125
00:14:31,529 --> 00:14:35,729
it's really just just looks like
Forest Service roads to me. It's

126
00:14:35,729 --> 00:14:42,359
wide. Definitely for cars, but
it's blocked off the cars at the

127
00:14:42,359 --> 00:14:49,979
front. You could see some of the
runoff on this trail from the

128
00:14:49,979 --> 00:14:58,469
rain yesterday. Some pretty good
rain that came through that's

129
00:14:58,469 --> 00:15:02,909
also something still good
Getting used to living here is

130
00:15:02,909 --> 00:15:11,699
that when it rains it'll come
down in sheets moving around for

131
00:15:11,699 --> 00:15:18,149
maybe an hour or two then it was
just done but you know within

132
00:15:18,149 --> 00:15:23,219
that hour or two you might get
an inch of rain which back in

133
00:15:23,219 --> 00:15:25,229
Chicago that would have been a
lot my backyard would have been

134
00:15:25,229 --> 00:15:33,179
flooded but now I live on a hill
and it just kind of goes goes

135
00:15:33,179 --> 00:15:40,499
away no more flooding don't
think this trail is going to be

136
00:15:40,529 --> 00:15:48,059
secluded as I want you try to
look things up ahead of time to

137
00:15:48,059 --> 00:15:52,319
get a feel for stuff but it
doesn't always work out I can

138
00:15:52,319 --> 00:15:56,429
hear like dogs off in the
background might be too close to

139
00:15:57,689 --> 00:16:04,739
people's homes on this road
because of the rains yesterday

140
00:16:05,339 --> 00:16:11,249
all the wash out you can see all
the pine needles that were

141
00:16:11,249 --> 00:16:13,079
washed on the side of the road

142
00:16:23,429 --> 00:16:24,899
Godfrey don't eat that Godfrey

143
00:16:32,940 --> 00:16:35,760
that's the main problem I have
with bringing Godfrey on these

144
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:43,140
hikes. She just eats the wrong
things and the nature of a

145
00:16:43,140 --> 00:16:47,460
Labrador Retriever and sometimes
if he eats too much of it when I

146
00:16:47,460 --> 00:16:56,880
get home a bar barfs off the
giant ball of vegetation why he

147
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,110
eats it I don't know

148
00:17:11,460 --> 00:17:20,370
so I use I use the all trails
app for my trails for my mapping

149
00:17:20,370 --> 00:17:26,610
and they recently changed this
app to where the what last time

150
00:17:26,610 --> 00:17:33,120
I hiked was over a month ago
before I went to Europe on a

151
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:40,500
vacation and they change the
navigation part of it or I don't

152
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:46,920
like it it just keeps popping up
this shade to show stats Okay,

153
00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:50,370
now we're actually finally
hitting the actual trail we're

154
00:17:50,370 --> 00:17:58,230
getting off the Forest Service
road and onto an actual trail

155
00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:04,440
and it's muddy because of the
rains from yesterday

156
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,430
somebody found the water in a
stick

157
00:18:33,150 --> 00:18:36,000
but at least it's actual trail I
was worried that this was going

158
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,630
to end up being just all Forest
Service road

159
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:55,890
Godfrey career good boy good
boy. Good boy. I like it when he

160
00:18:55,890 --> 00:19:02,400
has good recall especially
because he saw a squirrel

161
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:14,070
crossed the trail and wanted to
go after it all right. So here's

162
00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:22,830
where the trails diverge there's
also a pear orchard loop

163
00:19:37,050 --> 00:19:43,740
all right, finally some actual
trail here. And we can warm up

164
00:19:43,740 --> 00:19:44,070
again

165
00:19:49,740 --> 00:19:53,730
yes, so this all trails app, it
pops open this shade and covers

166
00:19:53,730 --> 00:19:58,740
half the navigation map. So I
always have to lower the shade.

167
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,270
They should just have the map
open and if I want the shade

168
00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:04,410
open that I drag it open

169
00:20:12,089 --> 00:20:18,869
and the navigation no longer

170
00:20:26,490 --> 00:20:33,750
you know it's like it always
points north

171
00:20:42,060 --> 00:20:49,890
instead of pointing in the
direction you're going maybe

172
00:20:49,890 --> 00:20:53,730
they maybe there's a setting and
I can change for that I don't

173
00:20:53,730 --> 00:20:58,230
know right now you know I didn't
even think about it I didn't

174
00:20:58,230 --> 00:21:02,850
really open the app and do
anything with it until I got out

175
00:21:02,850 --> 00:21:09,780
here. I download the trail map
you know to prepare for the hike

176
00:21:09,780 --> 00:21:13,440
but I'm not really using the app
until they get on the trail

177
00:21:19,349 --> 00:21:26,039
and now it's like not working as
it did before. So something I'll

178
00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:27,179
have to investigate

179
00:21:36,510 --> 00:21:40,680
obviously this hike is not
sponsored by alltrails Has

180
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:47,940
nobody knows I even exist but I
talk about it because I use it

181
00:21:53,820 --> 00:22:03,210
their horse or dog poop on the
trail with too small real horse

182
00:22:04,590 --> 00:22:11,220
so you're supposed to pick up
your poop and pack it out in

183
00:22:11,220 --> 00:22:17,100
case you're wondering it's what
I do I prepare for it. I have

184
00:22:19,950 --> 00:22:26,880
stink proof Ziploc bags I keep
in my pack and

185
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,770
I have you know poop bags in my
pocket. I carry those with me

186
00:22:37,770 --> 00:22:43,080
anyway. Because I normally I
regularly walk my dog

187
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,510
maybe it doesn't matter so much
here if there's so much horse

188
00:22:51,510 --> 00:22:51,840
poop

189
00:22:58,890 --> 00:23:01,140
I like to find the trails where
the horses don't go

190
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:18,450
there's way too much horse poop
to make this enjoyable you gotta

191
00:23:18,450 --> 00:23:19,440
really walk around it

192
00:23:25,170 --> 00:23:29,460
what's it like to stay away from
horse trails? Or heavily

193
00:23:29,460 --> 00:23:36,990
trafficked horse trails because
Godfreys only seen a horse twice

194
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:43,770
once out here once in Salt Lake
City and while he hasn't done

195
00:23:43,770 --> 00:23:48,840
anything he didn't even really
bark at them. Maybe because

196
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:54,690
there's so much bigger than he
is but he doesn't have a whole

197
00:23:54,690 --> 00:24:02,610
lot of experience with them. So
you know I would be a little

198
00:24:02,610 --> 00:24:05,280
uncertain as to how he's going
to handle it. Especially on a

199
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:10,680
smaller trail like this. And
that wide Forest Service road

200
00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:15,570
wouldn't matter but this is a
small regular trail

201
00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:32,220
you got free Godfrey.

202
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,270
Good boy. Good boy. Good job.

203
00:24:52,770 --> 00:25:00,120
Really cool rock outcropping.
Coming up I

204
00:25:08,369 --> 00:25:09,689
go off trail a little bit

205
00:25:21,329 --> 00:25:24,509
can't really see it in camera
though

206
00:25:37,980 --> 00:25:43,590
so we're gonna check it up here
through the leaves hopefully not

207
00:25:43,590 --> 00:25:44,850
falling break my neck

208
00:26:00,780 --> 00:26:02,700
you're anything that makes it
slippery or leaves

209
00:26:34,859 --> 00:26:38,759
if you've been following along
with me at all you know that

210
00:26:38,759 --> 00:26:49,169
that's my dog and pony show here
to watch out because it will

211
00:26:49,169 --> 00:26:53,339
lead us right through slippery

212
00:27:06,089 --> 00:27:09,179
few hands on coming my

213
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:18,780
way right don't kill myself

214
00:27:44,820 --> 00:27:46,980
right let's head back up to the
trail

215
00:28:01,020 --> 00:28:09,570
so after doing some some of the
real hiking on the trail and

216
00:28:09,570 --> 00:28:12,750
trying to traverse all the
leaves to get to that rock

217
00:28:12,750 --> 00:28:18,120
outcropping. Things are finally
warming up for me that's a

218
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:25,650
positive you can tell when you
get to the huffing and puffing

219
00:28:25,650 --> 00:28:29,250
stage that you're exerting a
little bit of effort

220
00:28:35,460 --> 00:28:47,460
I believe what they call this is
the zone two or I forget what

221
00:28:47,460 --> 00:28:50,520
they call like a zone two or
something like that when you're

222
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:56,490
talking about weight loss and
fitness you want a heart rate

223
00:28:57,990 --> 00:29:05,880
and an exercise exertion level
where you can carry out a

224
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:11,250
conversation but just not super
comfortably you know you're

225
00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:17,370
winded a little bit this RAM on
these hikes

226
00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:30,360
this wet

227
00:29:44,310 --> 00:29:48,180
extra deep breath is because I
try to not breathe so Hi

228
00:29:48,180 --> 00:29:53,220
everyone I think video the
microphone on the phone just

229
00:29:53,220 --> 00:30:01,140
makes it so loud. So I try to
regulate my Rest better I'll

230
00:30:01,140 --> 00:30:08,250
take some video doesn't sound so
bad and then I get a deep breath

231
00:30:08,250 --> 00:30:09,210
when I turn it off

232
00:30:21,690 --> 00:30:35,160
got free good boy good boy got
it out of the park somebody's

233
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,150
dog poop and I'm thinking people
are just leaving it behind

234
00:30:39,990 --> 00:30:48,510
because there's so much horse
poop on the trail which is not

235
00:30:48,510 --> 00:30:54,750
delightful you don't want to
step in any of it but the horse

236
00:30:54,750 --> 00:31:02,250
poop is much easier to see the
so big All right, come on up to

237
00:31:02,250 --> 00:31:13,200
another side okay, we would take
a left or right if we wanted to

238
00:31:21,420 --> 00:31:27,840
take the pear orchard loop, the
fruity branch loop or the

239
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:36,960
Leighton cemetery loop it's also
for mountain biking and horses I

240
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:42,450
should have checked these things
before I went on the trail but I

241
00:31:42,450 --> 00:31:44,880
kind of chose this one spur of
the moment

242
00:31:49,980 --> 00:31:56,730
just looking for a place to hike
this is back to like Forest

243
00:31:56,730 --> 00:31:57,510
Service road

244
00:32:05,250 --> 00:32:08,790
because I haven't been hiking in
a while neither was Godfrey he's

245
00:32:08,790 --> 00:32:13,020
getting old now he turned nine
so I'm trying to find trails

246
00:32:13,020 --> 00:32:19,260
that aren't that hard and have a
little bit of distance because

247
00:32:19,260 --> 00:32:23,310
otherwise if it's too hard right
off the bat then he gets sore

248
00:32:23,310 --> 00:32:31,710
like an old man but if I you
know if I can go hiking you know

249
00:32:31,710 --> 00:32:34,110
like something like this which
is an easier hike

250
00:32:39,570 --> 00:32:45,390
than the next one I want to take
it's not so bad which I'd like

251
00:32:45,390 --> 00:32:49,200
to do this one that's almost two
hours away from my house called

252
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:57,120
the Three Forks trail about six
and a half miles or so long and

253
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:04,350
I think it's either in near the
North Carolina border this one

254
00:33:04,350 --> 00:33:09,690
here is 5.4 miles it says it's
moderate but so far it's been

255
00:33:09,690 --> 00:33:13,110
pretty easy unless something's
gonna get more difficult in a

256
00:33:13,110 --> 00:33:13,380
bit

257
00:33:21,540 --> 00:33:25,800
All right, we got another sign
telling us to go to the right

258
00:33:35,190 --> 00:33:42,300
but that doesn't look like
that's where it goes on on the

259
00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:42,870
app

260
00:33:51,869 --> 00:33:53,849
so I'm guessing it looks like
here

261
00:34:01,740 --> 00:34:06,750
that the sign might be wrong
because people have handwritten

262
00:34:07,740 --> 00:34:12,000
on the arrows that the
Leatherwood Creek Trail actually

263
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,540
go straight not not to the right

264
00:34:27,180 --> 00:34:33,450
so we will follow the advice of
other hikers and just keep

265
00:34:33,450 --> 00:34:34,260
heading straight

266
00:34:48,390 --> 00:34:52,050
Alright, so the Forest Service
road ends after a bit and we

267
00:34:52,050 --> 00:34:53,850
head back into normal trail

268
00:35:02,220 --> 00:35:05,310
The good news is the trail isn't
as muddy as I initially thought

269
00:35:05,310 --> 00:35:09,120
it was going to be because when
we first hit the actual real

270
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:15,540
trail because of the rain
yesterday was a little muddy up

271
00:35:15,540 --> 00:35:19,950
here it's not bad a lot of
leaves so it's a little

272
00:35:19,950 --> 00:35:23,130
difficult to see the trail but
it's well worn enough

273
00:35:32,730 --> 00:35:35,340
I have a feeling if I make a
YouTube video for this it's

274
00:35:35,340 --> 00:35:39,180
going to be short not a heck of
a lot to see here it's a nice

275
00:35:39,180 --> 00:35:43,470
walk in the woods don't get me
wrong there aren't any creek

276
00:35:43,470 --> 00:35:50,760
crossings really at least not
yet. No waterfalls just a walk

277
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:57,060
in the woods in a pine forest
the pine needles are thick

278
00:36:07,890 --> 00:36:08,520
he got free

279
00:36:15,630 --> 00:36:18,720
boy good boy

280
00:36:25,860 --> 00:36:38,730
gonna take a pic we just a steal
your disaster all right let's go

281
00:36:38,730 --> 00:36:47,040
let's go anybody else have a dad
that just never wants to stop

282
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,470
I had to have the ladders before
but never they never had this

283
00:36:55,470 --> 00:36:57,300
kind of energy this late in life

284
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,120
he pays for it in the end
though. He's like an old athlete

285
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,680
that just doesn't know his
limitations

286
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:22,680
you should see his you can see
him when he fetches so crazy

287
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:29,730
amount of energy sprinting like
crazy. Let's go Godfrey. He has

288
00:37:29,730 --> 00:37:32,100
an Instagram or some of the
stuff where I post some of this

289
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:38,880
stuff. It's called how his
instagram handle is gluteus

290
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:44,250
maximus. I also have a website
that he never update for him.

291
00:37:44,550 --> 00:37:49,920
Gluteus maximus.com. You can
find there's a link to his

292
00:37:50,070 --> 00:37:55,170
Instagram. On my website, my
personal website I should put a

293
00:37:55,170 --> 00:38:02,070
link on the casual hate.com my
personal website which you may

294
00:38:02,070 --> 00:38:05,760
or may not want to read because
God just my snide remarks.

295
00:38:05,850 --> 00:38:13,650
Godfrey here. Here. I don't know
what he saw. Good boy. Good job.

296
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:19,950
Good job. Whatever it is, you
saw you can go after it. So um,

297
00:38:21,690 --> 00:38:28,770
my personal website is Kevin
bay.com. My last name is spelled

298
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:39,090
B as in boy E and there's a link
to Godfreys website under my

299
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:47,460
about menu or Godfreys
Instagram. You want to check

300
00:38:47,460 --> 00:38:50,880
that out. Don't bother reading
the rest of the blog. It's where

301
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:57,210
I just post thoughts snide
comments, sarcastic stuff,

302
00:38:57,270 --> 00:39:05,100
political crap. Stuff that
nobody wants to hear but me. But

303
00:39:05,460 --> 00:39:09,030
I'm gonna put a I shouldn't even
mention it. I just put a link up

304
00:39:09,030 --> 00:39:16,050
on the casual hate.com Well, you
can skip all over all the

305
00:39:16,050 --> 00:39:16,620
garbage

306
00:39:23,220 --> 00:39:28,950
while I'm mentioning other
websites, other projects. I have

307
00:39:28,980 --> 00:39:34,500
a what's called the value for
value music podcast. It's called

308
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:40,530
satin sounds.com. It's called
sets and sounds. There is a

309
00:39:40,530 --> 00:39:46,080
sense in sounds.com where you
can get to all the posts I'm

310
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:52,500
going to be doing episode number
30. Next Monday, I tried to do I

311
00:39:52,500 --> 00:40:01,200
try to stream it live every
Monday 2pm Eastern And then it

312
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:06,150
gets posted. About half an hour
hour after I'm done recording

313
00:40:06,150 --> 00:40:13,710
and what it is. It's music from
independent artists that aren't

314
00:40:13,740 --> 00:40:18,450
on a label, a recording label,
or at least the songs are

315
00:40:18,450 --> 00:40:24,420
available off the recording
label if they have one. And if

316
00:40:24,420 --> 00:40:31,680
using a modern podcast app, not
Apple podcasts and that YouTube

317
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:41,220
music, not Spotify. But podcast
app like pod friend, pod verse,

318
00:40:42,180 --> 00:40:49,410
fountain, true fans. And then
you there's each each of those

319
00:40:49,410 --> 00:40:52,770
apps have a wallet that you
loaded with Bitcoin. And as you

320
00:40:52,770 --> 00:40:57,750
listen, you are streaming
payments directly to the

321
00:40:57,750 --> 00:41:01,890
musicians to the artist. As you
listen to the song, and then

322
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:07,740
whenever the song changes, the
wallet changes. So let's say

323
00:41:09,330 --> 00:41:12,480
you're sending, I don't know, 50
sets a minute to listen to

324
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:18,840
music, which isn't much, it's
just pennies. And then the song

325
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,770
switches, while those 50 sets
per minute now go to the next

326
00:41:22,950 --> 00:41:29,100
artist. And what's cool is I
talked about earlier on this on

327
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:31,950
this episode of this hike is
that if you're using a modern

328
00:41:31,950 --> 00:41:35,490
podcast app, there's something
called chapter images. So when

329
00:41:35,490 --> 00:41:39,900
the songs change, the album art
changes. So you can see that in

330
00:41:39,900 --> 00:41:45,510
your car if you're using CarPlay
or Android Auto. It's really

331
00:41:45,570 --> 00:41:52,050
pretty cool. So that same
feature that works for this

332
00:41:52,050 --> 00:41:59,010
podcast where you'll see images
from the hike instead of images

333
00:41:59,010 --> 00:42:02,730
from the IQ c album art from for

that you'd like to go on. You

340
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:48,480
can send you can stream SATs
while you listen to this. You

341
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,450
can send what's called a booster
gram with a message that's just

342
00:42:51,450 --> 00:42:56,610
an extra boost of more of more
SATs with a note. You can do it

343
00:42:56,610 --> 00:43:03,690
anonymously you can put your
name in it doesn't matter. Also,

344
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,050
as I'm finishing up my promo
while I remember because I

345
00:43:07,050 --> 00:43:10,440
always forget to do these
things. Um, if you go to the

346
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:15,150
casual hate.com There's a Donate
link there should be a donate

347
00:43:15,150 --> 00:43:17,610
link in your podcast that too
but maybe not all of them show

348
00:43:17,610 --> 00:43:24,210
it that takes you to a PayPal
link where you can send a few

349
00:43:24,210 --> 00:43:27,390
dollars if there's anything that
you enjoyed here and nothing

350
00:43:27,390 --> 00:43:33,960
bad. And back to the hike.
Godfrey is on leash right now

351
00:43:36,150 --> 00:43:46,020
because he saw something and he
wanted to take off but he's

352
00:43:46,020 --> 00:43:53,430
doing very well today with
recall and came right back when

353
00:43:53,430 --> 00:43:57,450
I call them but we're pretty far
from that area so I'm gonna let

354
00:43:57,450 --> 00:44:00,900
him back out let's go

355
00:44:19,740 --> 00:44:22,290
so we've already walked three
miles it really doesn't feel

356
00:44:22,290 --> 00:44:29,790
like it. I was just looking at
the map. It really doesn't feel

357
00:44:29,790 --> 00:44:35,820
like three miles is one of the
easier trails. I've been

358
00:45:20,700 --> 00:45:25,440
know the temperature is like
perfect there's like a little

359
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:30,030
bit of sun coming through the
haze but because they're like

360
00:45:30,030 --> 00:45:35,160
high clouds it's really you know
it's like filth

361
00:46:00,180 --> 00:46:02,820
sorry for all the sniffles later
I'm gonna try to catch it all to

362
00:46:02,820 --> 00:46:05,970
edit it out but it's not that I
have a cold I've mentioned this

363
00:46:05,970 --> 00:46:13,560
before on previous hikes that I
have a deviated septum my nose

364
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:21,510
doesn't quite drain right so
there are times when my nose

365
00:46:21,510 --> 00:46:24,000
just runs uncontrollably nothing
I can do about it

366
00:46:32,100 --> 00:46:38,130
since we haven't crossed any
streams either Godfrey is going

367
00:46:38,130 --> 00:46:45,150
to need water at the end of the
hike because he hasn't been able

368
00:46:45,150 --> 00:46:55,440
to get a drink anywhere but it's
a cool day I'm not that thirsty

369
00:46:55,440 --> 00:47:02,100
I'm sure he's not that thirsty
but I did I bring water for him

370
00:47:03,270 --> 00:47:07,560
that's part of what makes my
pack heavy I've got like four

371
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,990
liters of water in there too for
him to for me

372
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,990
like some other I wonder if
that's the drill we're going on

373
00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:27,300
but there's like a trail down
there I'm I'm so at least below

374
00:47:27,300 --> 00:47:29,700
where I'm at I see some kind of
side trail maybe

375
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,640
does not appear to be where
we're going

376
00:48:00,150 --> 00:48:04,260
God don't eat that let's go
let's go

377
00:48:26,130 --> 00:48:30,330
I wish I knew what these plants
were that have thorns on them. I

378
00:48:30,330 --> 00:48:34,980
have them just outside my
backyard in the wooded area. But

379
00:48:35,010 --> 00:48:36,810
all these plants are new to me
still

380
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,890
and I don't know what it's
called. But they just have these

381
00:48:46,890 --> 00:48:54,510
long wispy branches that stick
out and they got thorns and they

382
00:48:54,510 --> 00:49:07,740
just catch you everywhere
Godfrey here Good boy. Good job.

383
00:49:08,310 --> 00:49:10,410
Good job. Good job. Let's go

384
00:49:15,510 --> 00:49:25,290
Ouch. Almost twisted an ankle.
They're almost there was a root

385
00:49:25,290 --> 00:49:27,180
sticking out and I just hit it
wrong

386
00:49:40,710 --> 00:49:48,300
you can tell Spring is coming.
You can hear the birds now. I

387
00:49:48,300 --> 00:49:52,590
think the last time I recorded a
hike. It was dead silent. There

388
00:49:52,590 --> 00:49:57,060
was nothing. Everybody was out
to hibernating for the winter.

389
00:50:06,750 --> 00:50:13,020
Now that I'm paying for fifth
then with this hike in hindsight

390
00:50:14,580 --> 00:50:18,180
while it's not the most
entertaining hike for me because

391
00:50:19,260 --> 00:50:22,980
this really is an easy level to
me that moderate even though the

392
00:50:22,980 --> 00:50:28,350
current was rated moderate if I
did that breathing heavy and

393
00:50:28,380 --> 00:50:30,840
almost the entire time it
doesn't feel mattered to me but

394
00:50:31,770 --> 00:50:41,160
so it's good for Godfrey because
the distance is long you know, a

395
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:46,350
little less than six miles 5.7 I
think I think it said it won't

396
00:50:46,350 --> 00:50:50,790
be super strenuous for him. So
that way when I want to go on

397
00:50:50,790 --> 00:50:55,620
the other hike, he's better
prepared to spend a little while

398
00:51:04,860 --> 00:51:09,990
that one I think has some better
elevations. This one we did some

399
00:51:09,990 --> 00:51:14,520
early on and then kind of up to
the top and then you're just

400
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:20,820
kind of flatland or sort of
going down now so it's not all

401
00:51:20,820 --> 00:51:30,210
that not that strenuous. It's a
nice walk in the woods I can see

402
00:51:30,210 --> 00:51:33,600
in the summertime where this is
good for horseback riding and

403
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:38,580
stuff because this will be
covered with the canopy of trees

404
00:51:39,300 --> 00:51:40,290
with all the leaves

405
00:51:50,790 --> 00:51:55,590
wish I was better prepared for
this photo. It's like I'm in the

406
00:51:55,590 --> 00:52:01,110
middle of the pine forest. And
the dog was just in the right

407
00:52:01,110 --> 00:52:02,160
place at the right time

408
00:52:10,140 --> 00:52:15,840
is there a reason you're crying?
Oh, Godfrey let's go

409
00:52:21,720 --> 00:52:29,640
Godfrey Wait let's even get a
picture of stage photo. Godfrey

410
00:52:29,670 --> 00:52:38,100
Godfrey. Stop Stop. Stop. Over
this way. Come over over here.

411
00:52:38,130 --> 00:52:41,340
This way this way. This way,
Godfrey here. Okay, wait, sit

412
00:52:43,140 --> 00:52:51,960
Okay, wait, stay right there
don't move just stay stay put

413
00:52:52,650 --> 00:52:58,140
Nope No Nope, nope. Nope nope.
Sit stay wait

414
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:12,030
know he's impatient and I can't
get the shot right you guys sit?

415
00:53:12,510 --> 00:53:20,580
Nope. Sit sit good boy. Wait
want you to wait

416
00:53:27,660 --> 00:53:34,980
no, I staging photos with dogs
is horrible. Godfrey comer. We

417
00:53:37,020 --> 00:53:48,090
can't wait. Stay right there
don't move Wait wait

418
00:53:53,130 --> 00:54:00,090
wait wait, wait. Okay. Okay, sit
wait don't scratch yourself.

419
00:54:00,300 --> 00:54:06,540
You're gonna get mud everywhere.
Wait nope nope. Godfrey sit I

420
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:17,070
come on here. Okay, sit wait. I
promise I'll get it this time. I

421
00:54:17,070 --> 00:54:19,170
promise stay there wait

422
00:54:24,330 --> 00:54:30,270
I didn't work anyway. Had
enough. Move on with my life

423
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:39,390
pretty big clearing here. Maybe
we're getting back to the Forest

424
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:45,270
Service road looks like it looks
like people camp here as well.

425
00:54:51,210 --> 00:54:56,520
Let's go. temperature dropped,
got out of the woods and the

426
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:00,090
temperature dropped me by five
degrees. It

427
00:55:08,519 --> 00:55:17,009
makes it refreshing if you ever
get out hiking, if you're

428
00:55:17,009 --> 00:55:21,479
watching or listening to this
and yeah, I yammer on a lot

429
00:55:21,779 --> 00:55:25,979
while doing this but there's a
lot of the hike where it's just

430
00:55:25,979 --> 00:55:33,599
the sound of my feet just
sounded my feet sound some birds

431
00:55:33,689 --> 00:55:43,469
the wind the dog you know you're
really just taking that next

432
00:55:43,769 --> 00:55:48,569
step you're not thinking about
anything you're just taking that

433
00:55:48,569 --> 00:55:49,169
next step

434
00:55:57,720 --> 00:56:05,730
and that's what I find kind of
cathartic therapeutic it's a

435
00:56:05,730 --> 00:56:08,910
little tiny bit of a stream down
there but not much of anything

436
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:20,220
road off to the right road
closed not Black Gate

437
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:40,380
we're not going that way anyway.
When it was up that way

438
00:56:48,900 --> 00:56:52,140
the Forest Service road is going
up it's the first incline we've

439
00:56:52,140 --> 00:56:54,600
seen in a while

440
00:57:05,070 --> 00:57:09,210
these are no more difficult than
the inclines in my subdivision

441
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:18,510
like I'm coming back to where to
where almost where we started

442
00:57:23,100 --> 00:57:29,190
maybe not there's another sign
there but that's not where our

443
00:57:29,190 --> 00:57:30,000
trail goes

444
00:57:36,330 --> 00:57:36,900
I think

445
00:57:42,060 --> 00:57:44,850
there's a trail that goes off to
the left but that's not ours.

446
00:57:45,210 --> 00:57:50,520
Ours continues straight I don't
know what that other one is.

447
00:57:52,260 --> 00:57:55,830
It's not marked anywhere

448
00:58:05,820 --> 00:58:07,260
to mark number six

449
00:58:14,190 --> 00:58:22,710
oh, it's a cemetery where we go
check that out. Let's go check

450
00:58:22,710 --> 00:58:24,690
it out to see what we find.

451
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,690
Wonder how far the cemetery is
off the trail

452
00:59:05,700 --> 00:59:09,870
Okay, he's got a notification
from the alltrails app telling

453
00:59:09,870 --> 00:59:11,880
me I'm off the trail. The

454
00:59:18,660 --> 00:59:24,600
Elias Farah bru died nearby
while on a visit to the area was

455
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,000
buried in the cemetery with a
very prominent stone over his

456
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,840
grave. Since that stone was the
only stone in the cemetery with

457
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:35,490
a name on it. The cemetery was
named Fairview Cemetery. We then

458
00:59:35,490 --> 00:59:37,350
have research into local history
I might have been able to

459
00:59:37,350 --> 00:59:40,980
identify everyone who's buried
here but I like leaving the

460
00:59:40,980 --> 00:59:44,100
history here in the woods with
the moss and the dragonflies and

461
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:49,020
the rain and the deer know it
even if we don't. Charles Kuralt

462
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:11,250
I'm guessing there are rocks or
like rock outcroppings I'm

463
01:00:11,250 --> 01:00:19,740
guessing these are headstones
and you actually have like a

464
01:00:20,070 --> 01:00:20,730
crypt

465
01:00:33,180 --> 01:00:35,910
inside look like people have
tried to remove that

466
01:00:44,430 --> 01:00:51,090
here's another one somebody
buried died in 1902 mucholder

467
01:00:51,090 --> 01:00:52,320
brown Brady

468
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,840
and then there's the grave

469
01:01:09,660 --> 01:01:12,180
then there's another grave right
next to it

470
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,960
James Dean Brady also died in
1902

471
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:51,090
and there are wooden markers
here and other stone markers for

472
01:01:51,090 --> 01:01:51,930
other grave sites

473
01:02:15,450 --> 01:02:18,780
this guy pre crying because this
is a graveyard and he consents

474
01:02:18,780 --> 01:02:33,480
the dead or is his brain kind of
dead along with everybody who's

475
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,720
buried here unmarked gravestones

476
01:02:54,570 --> 01:02:56,700
that was not that far off the
path

477
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:24,510
so that that at least was one
interesting thing off and

478
01:03:24,510 --> 01:03:34,320
otherwise you know kind of
middle of the road trail Godfrey

479
01:03:36,900 --> 01:03:45,060
he's not paying attention to
neat little cemetery. If

480
01:03:45,060 --> 01:03:48,180
cemeteries can be neat piece of
history

481
01:03:54,720 --> 01:04:03,060
people buried there for over 100
years back out to the Forest

482
01:04:03,060 --> 01:04:12,630
Service road. The fear Abreu
cemetery come visit open all

483
01:04:12,630 --> 01:04:13,110
year

484
01:04:21,180 --> 01:04:34,080
Godfrey found the stream but for
once, he's not going in it I

485
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:37,170
take that back. He's

486
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:43,890
You it wouldn't be much of a
hike if he didn't find a stream

487
01:05:43,890 --> 01:05:44,490
to market

488
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:24,300
I'm sure that water is really
good coming out of that drain

489
01:06:24,300 --> 01:06:30,300
pipe let's go glute let's go

490
01:06:39,420 --> 01:06:45,660
I don't know why he barks at
streams, streams waterfalls back

491
01:06:45,660 --> 01:06:49,410
in Chicago and we didn't go
hiking anywhere there wasn't

492
01:06:49,410 --> 01:06:56,040
anywhere to go but there was a
giant dog park really big dog

493
01:06:56,040 --> 01:07:03,240
park like three mile long maybe
half a mile wide and it had a

494
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:07,710
pond so he would go swimming in
that pond Yeah, throw a ball in

495
01:07:07,710 --> 01:07:11,760
there he swim after it. Come
back we never really barked at

496
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:20,220
the at the pond or the lake it's
only after coming here we go

497
01:07:20,220 --> 01:07:25,980
hiking. We've been to several
waterfalls now. And almost every

498
01:07:26,100 --> 01:07:31,500
hike has a stream or creek
crossing or whatever. And he

499
01:07:31,500 --> 01:07:38,130
tries to pull rocks out of it
grabs big logs barks at it. I

500
01:07:38,130 --> 01:07:46,080
don't know why. It's bizarre
behavior that's what makes him a

501
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:55,290
glute. Okay we're still in the
Forest Service road. Going back

502
01:07:55,290 --> 01:07:58,710
uphill. We're not back to where
we started just yet. But we're

503
01:07:58,710 --> 01:07:59,700
getting close I think

504
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:09,210
most of the time, I don't like
going uphill at the end of the

505
01:08:09,210 --> 01:08:15,240
hike but in this case the
additional workout is welcomed

506
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,450
and when I say up a little bit
of a hill it is just a little

507
01:08:21,450 --> 01:08:22,020
bit of a hill

508
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:32,610
it's not like some of the other
inclines where you hear me

509
01:08:32,610 --> 01:08:39,870
complaining and when I complain
I just complain doesn't mean I

510
01:08:39,870 --> 01:08:40,410
don't like it

511
01:08:46,620 --> 01:08:55,830
I like the challenges especially
getting older as I am as

512
01:08:55,830 --> 01:09:04,680
everybody is everybody does he
like to be able to do the things

513
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:09,030
that you did yesterday. Even if
it's a little bit more difficult

514
01:09:09,030 --> 01:09:13,470
than before you still like to be
able to accomplish it

515
01:09:23,250 --> 01:09:27,270
I don't know if that slows the
aging process. Somehow I doubt

516
01:09:27,270 --> 01:09:32,460
it. But it makes you feel like
you did something and you got

517
01:09:32,460 --> 01:09:41,340
that going for you. Okay, now I
see a sign. And that sign I'm

518
01:09:41,340 --> 01:09:48,210
sure is where we started the
Forest Service road where we

519
01:09:48,210 --> 01:09:56,490
started and that's just a short
walk back to the Jeep

520
01:10:14,670 --> 01:10:17,160
So we're coming back up to the
sign

521
01:10:28,350 --> 01:10:32,370
and we're heading back to the
trailhead where the car is

522
01:10:37,650 --> 01:10:52,770
right Godfrey let's go good boy
good boy boy go

523
01:11:11,700 --> 01:11:16,080
gonna give you water at the end
of this hike you don't have to

524
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:24,150
drink this disgusting puddle of
water not that far

525
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:44,370
what is this when you see a big
knot on a tree that's like a

526
01:11:44,370 --> 01:11:47,730
hornet's nest or something what
is this

527
01:11:58,230 --> 01:11:59,100
I wish I knew

528
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:09,720
looks like a nest of something
something obviously interrupted

529
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:15,210
the growth of the tree to create
that not I should have titled

530
01:12:15,210 --> 01:12:17,850
this podcast guy from the city
walks in the woods and knows

531
01:12:17,850 --> 01:12:18,270
nothing

532
01:12:24,660 --> 01:12:33,360
Godfrey here Good boy. Good boy

533
01:12:40,350 --> 01:12:48,660
got free no get out of there
always eating dumb things nope,

534
01:12:48,690 --> 01:12:58,470
nope. Godfrey. No not there
there's a stream that goes

535
01:12:58,500 --> 01:13:05,460
underneath the road. So he can
see it from up here and that's

536
01:13:05,460 --> 01:13:10,800
where he wants to go but we're
too close to the end and you're

537
01:13:12,210 --> 01:13:13,440
pretty much dried off

538
01:13:19,470 --> 01:13:22,710
starting to breathe heavy again
because we're another gradual

539
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:31,170
incline that leads back to the
car nothing big just something

540
01:13:31,170 --> 01:13:32,340
to get the heart rate up a
little bit

541
01:13:39,420 --> 01:13:44,130
I can see the barrier from here
at Black scars from coming down

542
01:13:44,130 --> 01:13:48,060
the road which really means
we're at the end

543
01:13:57,990 --> 01:14:02,460
you can hear the road because
the parking area is right off

544
01:14:02,460 --> 01:14:07,800
the road. Not deep into the
mountains like a lot of the

545
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:22,590
trails that go on here got free.
Wait. Here Good boy. You got to

546
01:14:22,590 --> 01:14:26,070
stick close by because of the
road. Wait, wait. Good boy.

547
01:14:26,580 --> 01:14:36,930
Wait. Wait. Godfrey Godfrey.
Wait, he's not used to walking

548
01:14:36,930 --> 01:14:40,920
slow. Wait. Nope.

549
01:14:47,400 --> 01:15:00,120
Good boy. Good boy. So we made
it back. It was a good walk. A

550
01:15:01,440 --> 01:15:10,350
very easy hike. Let's see what
the app says on the stats. Oh my

551
01:15:10,350 --> 01:15:21,120
god free stay calm. Two hours.
Eight minutes 6.02 Miles average

552
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:26,580
speed of three miles per hour
653 foot elevation gain

553
01:15:32,670 --> 01:15:41,400
now it's time to close the
podcast, water my dog and hit

554
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:45,300
back to civilization. Thanks for
listening. Catch you next time
