May 18, 1983: A side trail, up from the North Carolina side, joins the Appalachian Trail just in time for this colorful display of trees in full bud.

There were good views along this portion of the climb, looking towards Thunderhead and its lower west peak Rockytop, famed in song. The ridge crest was one open grassy field after another.

My 1983 Appalachian Trail Hike in Photos. There are around 750-800 photos here scanned from my 1983 slides. I believe this to be one of the oldest thru-hikes on the Internet to be documented in photos and words to this extent.

Note: I'm finally starting to work on my hiking blog for my aborted August hike. I'll have a link soon. A hard fall on a steep descent cut short my plans for a six-week hike after one great week. This will put off my sequel AT hike until 2027, but there will be new hikes next year.
