Spur of the moment road trips are fun... especially with my best friend! #spurofthemoment #roadtrip #mybestfriendmywife #blessed #drivingacrossthecountry #somewhereinoklahoma10 years ago today both my wife and I took our first steps as official “backpackers!” Earlier that year we heard about the LeConte Lodge in the Great Smoky Mountains. What intrigued me was that we had to hike up to it, and then the cabins didn’t even have power and water. I knew I had to look into this more... it sounded too awesome not too! It was still quite a while before we ever stepped foot on any of the trails going to the lodge, but on the morning of September 4, 2009 we took our first steps with fully loaded (read: heavy) backpacks on a multi day trip beginning under the popular arch at the Amicalola Falls Visitor Center. That day we hiked 10 miles *up* to Springer Mountain which is where this photo was taken, and our first time stepping on the Appalachian Trail, and where we spent our first night as backpacker’s. Since then we have done much more of the Appalachian Trail, and even a number of other trails. I can’t believe it’s only been 10 years since that day, but it’s a day I am proud of. The beginning of new adventures, and with the woman I love to no end. It’s perfect! #tonewbeginnings #10yearsagotoday #backpacking #hiking #newbies #springermountain #appalachiantrail #withtheloveofmylife #memories #remeniscingAnother successful weekend trip camping in our camper! Happy Labor Day everyone!! #onlyonehashtagbecausemywifeanddauguterarecountingthemI know I’ve been posting a lot of bike pics, but this thing just gets more and more fun... when it’s not kicking my butt anyway, especially after all the upgrades! 🤦🏻♂️🤗🍻 #trek #trekowners #trekmarlin7 #marlin #marlin7 #2020marlin7 #mtb #mountainbike i#ridemtb #emeraldiris #raceface #racefacechesters #gripplers #rockshox #rockshoxrecon #reconrl #maxxis #maxxistires #maxxisminions #dhf #dhr2 #tubeless #gotubeless #magicmilk #blessed #sunnydays #lake #blueskiesHappy National Doggy day! These doggies are our family! #nationaldogday #nationaldogday2019My 2020 Marlin 7 with several upgrades... pedals, grips, mud guard on the front wheel, fork, brakes, rotors and new tires set up tubeless. This bike has been transformed, and I’m loving it! As well, I got a really great deal on the Revelate Viscacha saddle bag and the Sweetroll handlebar bag from the fine folks at @trailsandtreads in Tupelo, MS! I have been messing around and I can get just about my entire gear setup (for around 20F) in just these 2 bags, minus food, water and toiletries. I have a Revelate Gas Can coming for some bike tools and other small items too. Now I just need to figure out a good place to go for a little bikepacking adventure! :) #trek #trekowners #trekmarlin7 #marlin7 #2020marlin7 #marlinbikes #trailsandtreads #revelate #viscacha #sweetroll #bikepacking #maxxis #maxxistires #maxxisminion #dhf #dhr2 #rockshox #rockshoxreconrl #raceface- Follow Stick's Blog on WordPress.com
