ViDEO: PART 3 Linville Gorge 2012 with the Hickery Brothers/Stormcrow Edition
Hanging with Stormcrow and family. Sam and Emma are a ton of fun and can hike as hard as Dear Ol' Dad))))))
Off to Sitting Bear and the Devils Cliff Trail. Steep and fun and sunny. "Those with no Shoulders"
We leave the Stormcrew and find Laurel Knob and then off to the Rock Jock Trail for the night. Whippoorwills!!!!!! All night long. No rain or storm this year. One gets what one receives.
Fun to look back on these trips whilst editing and re-live some wonderful moments in life.
All secure in sector seven,
Shug Hickery

Awesome set of videos yet again Shug.
Dont feel too bad about needing the hat an sunscreen though. You kinda get used to it. Got no choice down here unless you wanna be melanoma man.

Part 3 was great! Guess I should get back to work...Ah maybe in a minute, think I'll see about planning a Gorge trip first. :D Thanks for the break time entertainment, and for that Gorge itch that I now need to scratch. :laugh:

Two more episodes - yee haw!
Thanks for more entertainment - each episode raises the bar higher. It is always nice to set back and relive the finer moments of life. Of course, time spent in the outdoors doesn't really count against one's life.

Gingers, bean camp, whipperwillsville...all great stuff Shug. Sitting Bear brought back serious memories for young scouts making that climb up.
Well this vid is what I woke up to, probably nothing better will happen to me the rest of the day :)

shug you're always coming up with inventive camera shots (sometimes fatal-to-the-camera :eek:) I particularly enjoyed the trip it made lens up through the dripping water, and the close-in of the lizard in the rock cracks.
Hiking in 80+ degrees and 90+ humidity is an acquired taste. That's one experience I'm happy to have vicariously.

Part 3 !! ... Whoopee ... Can't wait !

Shug, ty for taking me along w/you. Very few can hold this soon 2b 60 year old's attention for 16 min. 11 sec. thanks again. see ya on the trail.
05-15-2012, 18:56

Did any of you guys watch Dave Canterberry on youtube before Dual Survivor?
I bet the same for Shug....it will remind me of Jonathan Antoine in BGT (which if you haven't seen it too will brighten your day)....so someday we can say we knew him when.
Yes sardines are good for you.

Shug,,part 3 was awesome! Glad the foot is better, enjoyed the nite sounds of the whiporwills and snoring! :lol: Your videos are perfect for showing all the sights of the gorge for when the wife and I get to visit it. Very nice videos and glad your enjoying yourself. Thanks! :D

Thank ye Shug, just thank ye. I would say "awesome", but that overused word just isn't good enough.

I agree Hawk-eye! I think Shug should make a video of just Ginger's frolicking in the woods. Who knew that would be so much fun to watch???

Great Video Again
Yet another great video. It's easy to see how one can get hooked on the Gorge. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to parts 4, 5, 6 ........ :D

**** birds... I don’t see why birds can’t find their own forest to hang out in. Why do they have to be in OUR forest – very inconsiderate! I liked watching you set up your hammock – guru at work. Thanks for thinking of our safety! 54, you’ll still be going strong when you’re 108! A woodpecker would peck all the wood he could, if a woodpecker could peck wood. It was good to have Kent take charge of the camera. Kent “sounded” VERY comfy in his hammy! Thanks for part 3, that place looks great!

Another great video Shug! Perhaps one of your finest to date. Excellent editing.
Loved the bee, bean camp, Sitting Bear camp, the lizard, and you know I've got to like the Ginger camp.
Had to watch it twice.
Five more days and I'm "in". Whoo-Buddy :boggle:
Thanx

Much hotter and my joy would have decreased a bit.

Have to look up Jonathan. I smell sardines all day on the trail. And shrimp spread....fishy combo.

My foot throbbed at days end....but it was manageable. The hammock sure relieved it. Glad you are enjoying the Gorge.
