Harper's Ferry is possibly one of the most beautiful small towns I've ever seen.
My old stomping grounds... lived in Harpers Ferry and the surrounding area for 30 years. You should have taken the short hike to the high point on the MD side of Harpers Ferry. Fantastic view of the Shenandoah and Potomac merging. Along with the railroad bridge crossing. I've been up there many many times. Great video series... wish I'd done the entire AT in my younger days.
HOLY smokes! When you're crossing the bridge at the beginning over the shallow river (about 1:35), I got wicked deja vu - I dreamt about that place before! No, I've never been there, no, I've never hiked. The furthest east in the States I've been is Baton Rouge. Anyway, I had to share - my mind was blown - LOL. I'm still enjoying your videos. Thank you!
HAHA!!! The guy you passed on the foot bridge was State Delegate Neil Parrot. He has knocked on my door before. The guy is relentless with his signs and posters. Here I am watching a youtube video and he's popping up! He's everywhere like a virus. lol
I was wondering who that strange man was on the bridge just standing there.
Very Cool! As a Marylander, I have hiked the Maryland section many times! Your videos are great! Not that you care, but the man you met on the I-70 bridge is Neil Parrott he is a State Delegate. Too bad it was so foggy up on Annapolis Rock! If it wasn't that is a great place to see how that area is just surrounded my PA and WV mountains! Thanks for the videos!
Hi Will.
I'm section-hiking the trail and just made it to Harper's Ferry from Front Royal.
My next section (Spring, 2020) is Harper's Ferry to Duncannon, PA.
Then, Duncannon to Delaware River and New Jersey (Fall, 2020).
Your videos are a great way for me to get an idea as to what I have ahead of me.
Thanks for your great work!
God Bless...
UPDATE on 06-26-2020
Due to surgery and the closure of so many shelters and campgrounds, I have moved those hikes to 2021.
Hey, Ken! I’m planning on hiking the New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut sections over the next several weekends, and then a section from Harpers Ferry to the Delaware Water Gap, probably sometime in September!
@@GuadalupePicasso Hi. Thanks for sharing. I hope you have a very blessed and safe trip. Before going, make sure that the campgrounds are open. There's still a lot of closures in PA and MD. Look forward to hearing about your trip! God Bless...
Ken Brenner thanks for the heads up, and best of luck with healing from your surgery! I’m just about to say my night prayers here, and I will pray specifically for your recovery, and for your thruhike next year!
So far I can tell, I’m all good for the AT sections in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. I haven’t yet looked to see what restrictions there may be in Maryland and Pennsylvania when I hit those sections (God willing) later this year! If I’m lucky, by then (I’m thinking of starting Memorial Day weekend, since having that Monday off from work would allow me to save one of my vacation days).
As a random aside, if you’re on Instagram, feel free to follow me: cocamojoe
I hike regularly as is, and post a fair amount on there about my hikes!
@@GuadalupePicasso Thank you Brother, God Bless!!
Man, that looks awesome. Maryland and West VA are beautiful states. I've got to do the AT before I get too old.
Do it!!!!!!
Will, when you were in Harpers Ferry, you were less than five miles from where I used to live, in northern part of Lovettsville, VA. Man, I feel ya when you talked about how rocky the trail terrain is...I'm totally pumped about your videos...thank you so much.
I hiked my first mile of the AT this past weekend (in Sky Meadows State Park, Fauquier County Virginia), and the bug has officially bitten me! I will likely be doing the AT as a section-hiker, starting with the WV and MD sections in March 2020!
Red Beard, your videos are awesome. I've watched several of your journeys, and hope to trek those same trails soon. Your videos are inspiring dude.. thanks and stay safe.
Here in Western MD is a truly beautiful place!!!
Thanx a lot Will for sharing your adventure with us. Can't wait for the next vid. Take care.
Thanks my friend, will be working on PA for the next few days. PA was one of my favorite states so much amazing trail Magic!
Love all your vids. Thanks for taking the time to share! This is definitely on my to do list, thanks again for all the knowledge!
Totally enjoying the great info on long distance hiking. Two things if you could address for being out on the trail even if it's 2 vid's. Hygiene, anything from washing your body and cook kit to popping along the trail. Living without family mainly your wife both from you side and hers living without you. That could be anything from staying in contact to visits along the trail. Family is very important to me and being without my wife is a big deal. Thanks!
Cheers Will, another great video. I'm going to be trying out my zpack duplex for the first time tomorrow night :) looking forward to seeing the rest of your travels!
Thank for taking the time to make these! Hoping to head out in spring of 2016.
My pleasure. Good luck and happy hiking!
Thanks for the views of Maryland, I will be waiting on the next video.
PA to come soon.
I gotta be the only person watching this like a soap opera! Hahaha, I cant help but wonder what happened to Snorlax and Toast.
Ha! Toast got off trail at Georgia/North Carolina border to let his knee heal. He got back on trail about a month later and hiked with his girlfriend to about mis way through Virginia. Snorlax and I split ways in Shenandoah NP and he finished a few weeks after me!
you can see Snorlax videos if you search for Prizedmouse.
Kellett, if you look to your right, in the chair next to ya, you'll see me glued to the screen, too! LOL
+Will “Red Beard” Wood Watched all of these and caught up on your PCT so far. Didn't know Snorlax had a channel though...so looks like I have more videos to watch. :) He seemed like a good travel partner.
Will ate them...
I am planning on thru-hiking the AT this March. Watching your videos gets me super excited for the trip!
Awesome to hear man, guys like you are the reason I did these videos. I was looking for videos like these a year ago when I was preparing for my thru hike. Good luck with all your preparations! When you starting?
Will Wood March 1st is the plan. Going to spend the next two months planning the trip and getting ready, so I'll definitely need to check out your gear reviews. I'm bringing my GoPro so I'm looking to make some helpful videos of my own.
+Dan Striebich How did it go?
It was completely different than I expected, but ended up really liking it. Made it about 500 miles before I had to go home due to a family emergency.
When i lived in Harper's Ferry we used to run down that long street all the time, amazing amazing amazing place to run
Great videos RB, I followed you most of the time on your hike under my other name.
Glad you enjoyed my videos. It was a great trip for sure!
Those were some beautiful places you traveled through. I hope to explore the Appalachians some day.
Do it!
I really enjoy all your videos Will. Thanks for sharing! :-) They inspire me to get out on the AT soon!
Thanks, really glad you have enjoyed them so far, no get out there and hike :)
Dude, I'm so ready to move to Harpers Ferry.....that looked a cool ass town. What was your brother in law saying about life in Harpers Ferry?
High rock and Black rock are equal or better than Annapolis rock. Gathland was pretty cool too. I'm surprised you didn't visit them. And i think it is somewhat misleading to to say most of MD is flat and smooth. A good portion of the nothern half is steep hills with rock. It's not 2 mile climbs but we saw some people struggle for sure.
Cool. I used to hike a lot in scouts an did a 50-60 miler in a week once. Rogue River trail
What a journey man, very cool
I think you might have started this blogging the AT or damn sure close to it . Hope you’re doing well RB
Maryland has some SERIOUS ROCKS on its trail. I don't know why Red Beard is showing a small section of groomed trail.
Mike Ober easiest state on the AT no doubt. The end does get a bit rocky but not too bad when compared to the others. 👍🏼
Wow, while it’d be a lot of miles, it’d be tempting to push for a full 40 mile day in Maryland!
Hope you have a very blessed time!
Ken Brenner me and a friend did a 28.7 mile dayhike in the Catskills Mtns just last week. The terrain was so absolutely brutal, that Backpacker Magazine once ranked this trail, The Devils Path, as there #3 most difficult dayhike in all of the US. Our elevation gains for the entire day were easily at if not over 9,000’.
While 40 miles would be difficult on even the flattest terrain, I would feel fairly confident about doing it, since the terrain there is relatively flat and smooth (I believe that the 40-ish miles in Maryland only go over one mountain, South Mountain?).
In fact, more intrepid hikers will hike in Virginia, near the West Virginia border, and hike into and through West Virginia, then hiking all of Maryland, and then camping just across the Pennsylvania border. I forget the name for this, but the challenge is that one hikes around 45 or 46 miles, and also hikes in four different states in one day!
Just so we’re clear, this isn’t something that I’ll be trying to do.
@@GuadalupePicasso Hi. Impressed with your Devils Path hike. I'm sure you will be successful on the Maryland hike.
I've heard of the challenge also: Four-State Challenge. See this article: www.backpacker.com/trips/appalachian-trail-four-state-challenge-pa-va
At 67, I've had to downscale my mileage expectations! 🤠
Ken Brenner I’ve met enough long-distance hikers in their mid-70s to have total faith in you!!!!
@@GuadalupePicasso Thank you so much for the encouragement!
God Bless...
sooooo awesome!!!!! beautiful!!!!
You used a Sony(?) on your AT hike? What are you using these days?
was there in june for A few days the walk cross Maryland
hey Redbeard what's up man?
really cool how long did it take you to complete it
Man I real want to hike the A.T. only thing stoping me is I need to get in better physical condition and fear of snakes.
And awesome videos
Raghav Kapoor I got a fear of rattlers myself but I'm trying to get over that so I can try a few days hike in Maryland and pa!
I was in Bermuda during the America Cup
Oh, and I just told my wifey poo that I am planning to do what you did, and she just looked at me like I had three, no wait...maybe four.. heads! LOL But really, wood and stone are calling me back, so I have to start my planning, my good man!
Nice tent, but expensive.
what happened to snorelax
Snorlax come back!🙏
Watch his channel PrizedMouse
+Will “Red Beard” Wood OK thanks for replying
