1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:23,820
Kevin Bae: It is Thursday, May
2, Godfrey and I are back on the

2
00:00:23,820 --> 00:00:28,440
trail. And we're at Kennedy
Creek, the candidate Creek to

3
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:34,200
Big Creek Falls Trail near
DeLanda. It's actually sort of

4
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:41,250
near Salonika, Georgia, supposed
to be an easy hike about two and

5
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:46,650
a half miles long. And it's a
beautiful spring day, it's warm

6
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,020
in the 60s, supposed to get up
into the upper 80s Today in all

7
00:00:52,020 --> 00:00:56,130
these parts of North Georgia,
but hopefully we have a really

8
00:00:56,130 --> 00:01:00,810
nice hike. See what this is all
about. Right off the bat, we've

9
00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:05,430
got problems because the
alltrails app, they've made

10
00:01:05,430 --> 00:01:08,580
changes to it that just really
stink. So I think I might have

11
00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:14,640
to find another trail app. It's
difficult. It doesn't it doesn't

12
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,420
know how to describe it. But it
used to be almost like Turn,

13
00:01:18,450 --> 00:01:22,710
turn by turn navigation like
like in your car. But now it's

14
00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:27,180
very difficult to see exactly
which direction you're moving

15
00:01:27,180 --> 00:01:33,420
in. And it's hard to find
obscure trail heads that are not

16
00:01:33,780 --> 00:01:36,750
marked, you know, where there's
no sign. So you start walking in

17
00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:40,590
a direction and you think you're
going the right way. And then

18
00:01:40,590 --> 00:01:44,100
you go look after a couple of
minutes and no, you're not going

19
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:48,480
the right way. So I started off
just a couple of minutes down

20
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,440
the trail, but I could tell
something was not right. So

21
00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:57,870
we're going to try different
direction. Okay, so it looks

22
00:01:57,870 --> 00:02:05,520
like I have found the trail as
it as it is marked on all on the

23
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,300
all trails app. It's really just
the same road I was driving on.

24
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,760
You know, it's kind of a rough
road here. But I think now I'm

25
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,650
on track. And hopefully the rest
of the trail is much easier to

26
00:02:19,650 --> 00:02:22,830
follow even though this is
marked easy. As you could see

27
00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:30,120
the trail is not difficult here.
We'll see. So early on in the

28
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,950
trail here, I'm across these,
what looks like old grain silos,

29
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:41,790
of course have been graffitied.
There's like a tree fallen off

30
00:02:41,790 --> 00:02:46,920
the hill onto the roof. All
right, Godfrey. Let's keep

31
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:54,840
going. So I just remembered turn
off the noise canceling function

32
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,740
of my wireless microphone. Want
to see if that sounds better I

33
00:02:58,740 --> 00:03:03,630
think on the last hike this sort
of sounded too compressed and

34
00:03:03,630 --> 00:03:07,080
like I was in a tunnel so
hopefully this is just more

35
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,730
natural sounding and catches
more of the birds and whatever

36
00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:14,970
other sounds that are out here

37
00:03:25,290 --> 00:03:37,410
some head polls inside there's
like some divots in the trail

38
00:03:37,410 --> 00:03:44,310
where looks like Jeeps or ATVs
come through here. Make deep

39
00:03:44,310 --> 00:03:50,040
ruts so there's lots of tadpoles
in the water swimming around

40
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:00,780
so this is not a cut trail at
least through this part. It's

41
00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:05,280
just tall grass. You can sort of
see where some cars have driven

42
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:13,950
through here but it's uncut
looks like continues to normal

43
00:04:13,950 --> 00:04:17,100
trail after a small stretch of
grass

44
00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:30,810
so I'm guessing this is Canada
creek goes right alongside the

45
00:04:30,810 --> 00:04:38,760
trail here it's a very small
trail. Almost like a almost like

46
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,870
a wildlife trail. But it's clear
that enough people walk on this

47
00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:46,020
thing to keep it well tread

48
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,380
pick up the sound of the stream
now. Or the creek

49
00:05:00,930 --> 00:05:03,900
Okay, looks like there's a way
to get down there, at least

50
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:09,510
there's sort of a side trail, it
goes off, you've got 123 small

51
00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:11,760
waterfalls, I'm gonna see if I
can get down there at least and

52
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:19,650
get a picture of something. All
right, we made it down it's very

53
00:05:19,650 --> 00:05:22,830
cool. So I got to the movies

54
00:05:51,660 --> 00:05:56,760
another stream crossing, little
bit bigger than the last one,

55
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,770
but still very easy to pass.
Don't even get your feet wet.

56
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:08,100
No. Now you look at this over
here, it's very hard to see

57
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:13,410
where the trail goes. We are off
the designated trail. I'm sort

58
00:06:13,410 --> 00:06:18,360
of moving parallel to it. But we
are off of it. And I can't

59
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:23,460
exactly tell where to go back.
To meet it. I'm on a trail of

60
00:06:23,460 --> 00:06:28,860
some sort. It's very wide, so
must be part of some other some

61
00:06:28,860 --> 00:06:33,630
other trail but I'm gonna walk
up a bit and see if this somehow

62
00:06:33,630 --> 00:06:37,440
takes me to an area where I can
meet up where I'm supposed to be

63
00:06:45,150 --> 00:06:50,940
so either the map is incorrect.
The GPS is incorrect.

64
00:06:53,070 --> 00:06:57,960
Something's incorrect, but I
appear to be backwards supposed

65
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,540
to be I think if you just trust
that you need to follow the

66
00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:12,930
creek candidate Creek at least
to to a certain point. And you

67
00:07:12,930 --> 00:07:19,020
should be okay. Okay, there's
something blocking the trail, a

68
00:07:19,020 --> 00:07:23,730
sign of some sort strung between
two trees, no trespassing

69
00:07:23,730 --> 00:07:26,460
private property. So apparently
I was on private property and

70
00:07:26,460 --> 00:07:33,480
didn't know it. Well, try not to
make that same mistake on the

71
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:40,020
way back I apologize for being
on your property. We continue

72
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:43,650
on. Okay, so it dawned on me
when I was on the other side of

73
00:07:43,650 --> 00:07:50,130
the sign it was actually upside
down, which means that the area

74
00:07:50,130 --> 00:07:55,230
that I want to go to apparently
is private property. And the

75
00:07:55,230 --> 00:08:00,210
area that I was on was fine. So
I'm not sure what to do from

76
00:08:00,210 --> 00:08:03,180
this point, I'm going to check
the trail map and see what I can

77
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:09,690
do. So I went a little bit
further past the private

78
00:08:09,690 --> 00:08:13,770
property sign. But it didn't
seem like it follows the trail

79
00:08:13,770 --> 00:08:19,110
map on all trails. And I
couldn't see any visible sign of

80
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:26,610
where the trail might go to stay
on the designated trail. And I

81
00:08:26,610 --> 00:08:30,810
don't recommend I mean this is
Georgia so private property

82
00:08:30,810 --> 00:08:35,970
rights are pretty strong and
everybody has a firearm. So I

83
00:08:35,970 --> 00:08:39,810
don't recommend going too far
past any private property sign.

84
00:08:40,890 --> 00:08:47,310
So I'm going to backtrack a
little bit and see if maybe I

85
00:08:47,310 --> 00:08:52,560
can't pick up some alternate way
to get to where I want to go see

86
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:53,100
what happens

87
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:06,180
so there's no no way that I see
to get to where I need to go I

88
00:09:06,180 --> 00:09:11,280
need to go this way up there up
this hill but there's no no

89
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,120
discernible trail. There's a
trail going off in this

90
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,290
direction back across the
stream, which is not on the mark

91
00:09:19,290 --> 00:09:23,340
trails. But I'm just gonna go
that way a little bit and see

92
00:09:23,340 --> 00:09:30,330
what we're brings me after we
cross the stream this part of

93
00:09:30,330 --> 00:09:39,030
the trail looks like people ride
dirt bikes, motorcycles. At

94
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:41,850
least that's what the wear
pattern on the trail looks like

95
00:09:41,850 --> 00:09:51,960
to me. So the side trails pretty
uneventful. There's a really

96
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:58,770
small stream that follows it.
But it's it's a nice enough

97
00:09:58,770 --> 00:10:02,070
Trail and the woods deep in the
woods here. But it's clear that

98
00:10:02,070 --> 00:10:08,310
many people come here, at least
not today, because I'm walking

99
00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:15,330
through all the spider webs now.
But I'm mainly just walking this

100
00:10:15,330 --> 00:10:19,590
now for some distance, you know,
because I wanted to get enough

101
00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:20,430
of the trail and

102
00:10:26,910 --> 00:10:31,800
I think I think the map on
alltrails might be totally

103
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,500
incorrect. I remember seeing at
the beginning that this was like

104
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:40,650
a two and a half mile trail. And
I was 1.7 miles in when I hit

105
00:10:40,650 --> 00:10:45,360
that private property sign.
Which means it would have been

106
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,020
over three miles on the way back
and it just dawned on me just

107
00:10:49,020 --> 00:10:53,010
now that that was probably the
end where I was. Meanwhile,

108
00:10:53,010 --> 00:11:00,420
alltrails seems to have it. So
it goes much further. So I think

109
00:11:00,420 --> 00:11:03,630
I'm at the point where I'll
probably just turn around head

110
00:11:03,630 --> 00:11:07,260
back to the car. There's a
second trail I wanted to go to

111
00:11:07,260 --> 00:11:12,510
if I had time, so maybe I'll
check that one out. It's time to

112
00:11:12,510 --> 00:11:17,340
head back, Godfrey Let's go this
way. Come on. Here we go back

113
00:11:30,450 --> 00:11:32,910
so even though this is off the
trail, I'm supposed to be

114
00:11:32,910 --> 00:11:38,970
honest. I mean, it's really an
picturesque forest. It's

115
00:11:38,970 --> 00:11:39,540
beautiful

116
00:11:49,140 --> 00:11:53,010
how are you gonna get around
that? He's, he's at a loss. He's

117
00:11:53,010 --> 00:11:58,200
tired. There's two big trees
falling over the trail. Where to

118
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:08,400
go what to do. Here, Godfrey,
let's go around this way. See

119
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,980
that you just got to use your
noggin.

120
00:12:18,810 --> 00:12:22,650
He actually crawled under that.
And the other going in the other

121
00:12:22,650 --> 00:12:25,260
direction was kind of hard to
watch

122
00:12:30,330 --> 00:12:34,620
we're almost back to where the
original trail is. Pick that up

123
00:12:34,620 --> 00:12:35,790
and start heading back to the
Jeep.

124
00:12:52,260 --> 00:12:55,110
So it seems to me that if the
trail does continue, Godfrey

125
00:12:55,110 --> 00:12:59,760
know, if the trail does
continue, it continues across

126
00:13:00,690 --> 00:13:06,690
the creek. And there's no safe
way to get across this creek. I

127
00:13:06,690 --> 00:13:11,550
could get across, but I'm not
gonna cross with my dog. And

128
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,390
it's the only only thing I can
see. That's possible. Godfrey.

129
00:13:18,390 --> 00:13:28,740
No, no. I tell ya. That's mean,
dummy. And so I'm just gonna

130
00:13:28,740 --> 00:13:31,050
hang out take some pictures and
then we'll get back on the trail

131
00:13:31,050 --> 00:13:37,950
head back. I was hoping maybe I
can continue on somehow. Oh.

132
00:13:40,530 --> 00:13:42,090
Godfrey, the lover of nature

133
00:13:47,550 --> 00:13:54,630
I would really like to know what
goes through his brain was just

134
00:13:54,630 --> 00:14:03,990
a bit crazy. Alright, got three,
let's go. So I say if you choose

135
00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:09,600
to go on this trail, it's not as
easy as it says it says easy.

136
00:14:10,050 --> 00:14:15,510
But there's when you start to
get close to the falls here. At

137
00:14:15,510 --> 00:14:17,640
least this first set of falls. I
didn't make it all the way

138
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,050
according to the map. But
there's a really impressive set

139
00:14:22,050 --> 00:14:26,280
of rolling falls right around
the one and a half mile marker

140
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,930
so but you're really kind of on
the side of a hill walk instead

141
00:14:30,930 --> 00:14:35,610
of a hill. And it's not like a
flat trail. So you could pretty

142
00:14:35,610 --> 00:14:38,940
easily if you lose your footing,
you know tumble pretty far down.

143
00:14:38,940 --> 00:14:43,260
It's about 50 feet down. I mean,
you'd roll down slowly and

144
00:14:43,260 --> 00:14:49,110
probably get stopped by a tree
or some logs but just be

145
00:14:49,110 --> 00:14:52,620
forewarned if you choose this
trail, when you get farther

146
00:14:52,620 --> 00:14:59,670
down. It is not easy. I would
call it moderate. Okay, stop

147
00:14:59,670 --> 00:15:06,600
crying Let's go back in the
truck. Let's go so my dog just

148
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,420
volunteered himself into the
creek. He's trying to find his

149
00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:12,210
way back. Here he comes

150
00:15:18,779 --> 00:15:23,969
the one positive thing is
there's lots of water for my dog

151
00:15:23,969 --> 00:15:29,879
to go to lots of logs for him to
chew on

152
00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:39,600
never wants to small ones

153
00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:51,750
All right, that's enough
destruction of nature. Godfrey.

154
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,310
You know, we got somewhere to
go, right? You're like a kid at

155
00:15:59,310 --> 00:16:09,720
the pool. Come on, Godfrey.
Let's go. Hi, so you do know how

156
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,100
to be obedient sometimes.

157
00:16:23,460 --> 00:16:28,170
So we're coming to the end, or
towards the end. So I thought

158
00:16:28,170 --> 00:16:33,090
I'd take this moment to just
talk about what this is, this is

159
00:16:33,090 --> 00:16:37,290
your listening to the casual
hike. And for more information,

160
00:16:37,290 --> 00:16:42,840
go to the casual hike, that calm
is a value for value podcast.

161
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,750
Therefore, you need a modern
podcast app to participate. And

162
00:16:48,750 --> 00:16:54,720
if you go to my website, there
will be links to many of the new

163
00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:00,720
podcast apps that are valued for
value enabled. And what that

164
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:07,680
means is that there's a wallet
built into the podcast app. And

165
00:17:07,740 --> 00:17:12,330
you load it you load up the
wallet with Satoshis which is a

166
00:17:12,330 --> 00:17:20,850
micro form of Bitcoin. And as
you listen, you set the amount

167
00:17:21,390 --> 00:17:25,140
and as you listen you stream
payments directly to the

168
00:17:25,140 --> 00:17:28,500
podcasts are so I'm not the only
one doing value for value.

169
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:35,550
There's a lot out there. Do you
want more information of value

170
00:17:35,550 --> 00:17:43,080
for value can go to value for
value that income income. I

171
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,720
think there's value for
value.org I have a link to it on

172
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,130
my website, there's a link. I
have a heading like what's value

173
00:17:50,130 --> 00:17:54,570
for value, there's a link there.
I think it's that info value,

174
00:17:54,630 --> 00:18:02,670
the number four value that info
and you set the the amount and

175
00:18:02,670 --> 00:18:05,370
you you stream to the podcast or
whatever, whatever you think

176
00:18:05,370 --> 00:18:08,640
it's worth, if you got something
out of it. There's also

177
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:16,080
something called a boost button
where you send what's called the

178
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:22,050
booster gram. That's like a an
injection of Satoshis. A little

179
00:18:22,050 --> 00:18:27,240
bit a little bit extra. And you
can send a note. Godfrey, come

180
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:32,070
here here just interrupted that
because I had to grab God for

181
00:18:32,070 --> 00:18:34,230
really quick there was an ATV
Arganda motorcycle coming

182
00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:41,370
through. So yeah, it's a value
for value podcast. And you send

183
00:18:41,370 --> 00:18:44,130
what you think it's worth. You
could send to boost with a

184
00:18:44,130 --> 00:18:47,730
message or you can just send me
an email if you feel like

185
00:18:47,730 --> 00:18:56,340
getting contact at mail mi L at
the casual hype.com Now we'll

186
00:18:56,340 --> 00:19:02,010
just finish up the trail and get
back to the Jeep All right,

187
00:19:02,010 --> 00:19:10,890
we're getting back to the Jeep.
I think I've mixed the idea of

188
00:19:10,890 --> 00:19:17,400
taking the other trail. He did
quite a bit of scrambling up and

189
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,770
down to the falls. But we can
always come back because this

190
00:19:22,770 --> 00:19:29,340
other trail is pretty short I
believe. And it's already mid

191
00:19:29,340 --> 00:19:33,930
day, so it's gonna start getting
hot when you get an old dog,

192
00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:39,360
which I never thought I'd call
him old but he's old now. To

193
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,220
take it easy so we can go
another day

194
00:19:46,590 --> 00:19:47,730
so until the next hike
