June 15, 1983, 43 years ago today: It was very hot again. The air was even more sodden as the sun drew up the moisture left behind by last night’s thundershowers. Fortunately, the trail has improved quite a bit since Garden Mountain.

Most of the hike followed the long, low, level crest of Brushy Mountain through woods on a well-graded trail. It was uneventful.

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.

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.
