They say what you're doing on New Years Day you'll be doing the rest of the year--well let's hope so.
Wisenber, Spamburgler,Roche and lots of others have Great Smoky Mtn NP in their backyard. We have the Cherokee Nat. Forest....about time to sample some of the trails there other than the 150 miles of the AT that cross it.
We did a quick overnighter on the Rattlesnake Ridge Trail from Rock Creek Park:
Hi there MedicineMan,
Thanks for the new year shout out, and yes, you’re a bit late, but that’s ok! Yesterday (which is your today), I was thinking of you and your planned big trip back to Alaska. I hope you get to go, it will be super duper fantastic! Have you got yourself a new camera? Your video looks and sounds different. I love them there backpacks! Thanks for the video, I was just sitting here watching a few videos and yours appeared, hot off the video editing press – good timing.
Great video MM. Excellent music selection. Thanks for taking us along.
MedicineMan, another fine video. Good to see you and Poof are out there enjoying it even if the conditions aren't ideal. Looking forward to following your adventures in the New Year. Jim Bob, Cooter, Daryl, Daryl, and other brother Daryl--isn't that a law firm? Thanks for the report.
Mighty nice as always ... thanks for sharing and a very Happy New Year!
Glad I had my hot cup of coffee while watching this one! Thanks and Happy New Year to you and Poof!
MM,
Thanks for sharing your trip. The only bad thing about watching your videos is that they keep adding to my to-do list.

Great way to start 2013! Thanks for sharing...

That cold rain can sure be a challenge....but ya'll were up for it.
I always love seeing the rhodo in your videos.
Happiest of Year of the New.

Looks a great, if not cold, time. Mud hole water, mmmmm.
Thanks for taking us along. :cool:
Thanks everybody! Cold hands--the fingers hurt--probably nothing like they'd hurt in Minnesota.
Catavarie, yeah that water source--we could have planned better, we've got in this bad habit of going until we just dont want to move and then call it home for the night.
A lot of us really are lucky to have such just minutes away, shame not to explore it.
Hawk-Eye--I was on Round Bald last week looking away at your Big Ditch, glad you got out this for the New Year.
Thanks Emcee--see you in March, as a reminder early March is still WINTER up here :)
Will see you too LesRust, keep working on that time off!
Running Feather--I think your backyard is the Pisgah? Another fine place to explore.
Your welcome B2R--do you guys do New Years over there?
Happy new year. Great video as always MedicineMan. I am looking forward to seeing you, Poof, and everyone else in March.

I always enjoy your videos and never get tired of the in-depth examination of your gear.
another nice video MM, lots of places up in East Tn to go hiking instead of the Smokies
Yep, fire works and all. But is was raining with quite a strong wind so not much fun out there....Quote:

Hey MM; Great to see you out in your backyard. I think that road was for zombie access. So nice to see Rhodo's in that part of the country. We don't have them here but i planted some in my front yard many years ago. Didn't see Poof till she waved her hands,,,very stealth. Thankyou for the shout out and a very happy new year to you and Poof. What a great way to spend it and hope the coming year brings lots more,,maybe a little dryer.

Happy New Year to you too. Thanks for the shout out.
I laughed quite a bit at the Darryl brothers.
I love my Dr. Zooz Ti grill, but I notice, and your video shows this too, that if the grill is left over open flames without anything on it, it "blues" and almost seems to go limp. Is there an issue with this or is this to be expected?
"Water Music", and running streams...nice.
Now I have to pee.:p
Another fine video MM. You and Poof will be charter members of the CNF 600. And backpacking in 38 degrees and rain is nasty but a great way to start the New Year.
what a great new years tradition. great video.
Your videos are always great ! Happy New Year to you and Poof..
You know you guys keep egging me on to more vids....if you ignore him he might quit HA!
Mr.Tat, I'll pass on the hello to Poofadora.
Looks like a great way to start the new year!! And I agree - cold rain = yuck!
Glad your New Years was so fun, MM! Looks like you and Poof had a grand ol' time. Love me some hiking and camping in the rain, even when it's cold.
Thanks for sharing that wonderful portion of the world with the rest of us!
