Starting the Pinhoti Trail tomorrow. Going self supported with no expectations https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=1e0465ce4e8f97afc2&hoursPast=0&showAll=yes
Started today at 7:28 am alabama time. Having issues with the spot but getting some tracking to go through at https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=1e0475ce4e93b4d29a&p=Pinhoti&hoursPast=0&showAll=yes
i will be recording a track each day on my watch which seems like the most reliable tracking method.
I’m trying to go after the self supported record starting in two days, in a potentially ill advised but nevertheless fun jaunt. Tracking here: https://us0-share.inreach.garmin.com/whereswillie
also updates on my Instagram @wamoth.
Congrats Willie! That was truly amazing! I had plans to go after this one self supported next November but after the massive miles you put up I think I will look elsewhere!
Congrats to Willie Thacker! Looks like he did it! New unsupported FKT. 6 days, 16 hours (pending verification).

Starting Thursday, April 30th, 2020 I will be attempting to set a new supported FKT for the Pinhoti. I will begin at Flagg and proceed to the Northern Terminus at the BMT. My wife, Mallory Yawn, and my in-laws, Todd and Jamie Henderson will be providing support during my effort.
Live tracking will be provided at the link provided below. I will also use my watch to record a .gpx track. Upon successful completion, I will provide the gpx track for verification.

I was able to set a new Support FKT in 5 days 13 hrs 21 minutes. Im compiling everything and will sumbit data (gpx, photos, report) very shortly for official verification. In the meantime, heres a link to the activity in Strava.
