Report

I did the Allegheny trail from Friday April 7, until Friday April 21 solo. My son dropped me off at the Peter's mountain Appalachian trail head so i could intersect with the Allegheny trail. The first night i staid in the WV raptor observatory, night two i slept in a valley about 6 miles north of Moncove State Park. I resupplied at a food lion in White Sulphur springs and camped in laurel run valley for night 3. Night 4 i hiked to Watoga State park. Night 5 I camped at the marlin mt shelter. Night 6 i staid in a motel in Cass, WV. Night 7 i camped at west fork campground in Durbin, WV. I picked up a resupply package day 8 at the Durbin post office and camped at Wildell shelter night 8. Night 9 i camped on the Glady river. night 10 i stayed at the LRC Bed and breakfast, my family met me there for the evening. Day 11 i resupplied at a Shop in Save in Davis WV and staid the night at the Bright morning in Motel. Night 12 i camped at the Close Mountain school house. Night 13 i camped at the Reger family shelter near Rowelsburg WV.  Night 14 i camped at the Friends of Cheat Campground near Albright WV. i finished out the next day at the Mason Dixon line border crossing near the north Allegheny Trail trailhead. I used a sawyer squeeze for my water filter and resupplied at water sources along the way. There was a trail worker that hiked with me for approximately 1 mile before the John's camp shelter. I had a great trip and really enjoyed the adventure. i havent processed my videos yet but i am putting the trip on my youtube channel at Brad in the Buff. I have numerous videos and pictures if any more are needed to corroborate my trip.

 

I have no idea if this is too long or too short or how much information i am supposed to provide so i hope this will suffice. Let me know if other information is necessary! Thank you!
