For the first time in over 50 years, new passages were discovered at Natural Bridge Caverns. Pristine passages with huge formations and amazing colors. A must see!
Follow my step-by-step guide to convert your existing vertical system into another. You can even to do it at the base of a climb just before you ascend.
Follow my progress in real time as I hike the Appalachian Trail (AT), Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), and Continental Divide Trail (CDT). I am attempting the Calendar Year Triple Crown where I hike all three trails from January to December in the same year.
You can even message me directly from the map, and I will receive it on the trail!
Lee White made a historic climb of Dome Pit in Natural Bridge Caverns and discovered the first new passage in Natural Bridge in over 50 years. We documented that climb with drones flying in the cave as he climbed, in-cave video interviews, and great photos of that expedition and of the amazing passage and colorful formations found beyond.
My customized vertical system that allows easy switching among Frog, Rope Walker, Mitchell, and Texas systems, complete with diagrams and detailed assembly and sizing instructions.
Geary Schindel wanted the Bexar Grotto‘s HydroGeo committee to secretly give him $5,000. When we refused, he falsely accused us of misappropriation of funds, fraud, and laundering money. He then used those false accusations to threaten us with attorneys.
I refused to be intimidated. Instead, I compiled the facts and exposed Geary Schindel’s treachery and lies.
Thank You, Chad and Joy!
Just a quick thank you to Chad and Joy for their great trail magic.
Shoutout to Lauderdale County High School
Shoutout to Patrick Freeman and over 100 students at Lauderdale County High School who are following my progress on the Appalachian Trail.
Highest Point on the Appalachian Trail
I made it to Fontana Dam, the gateway to the Smokies. They’re gorgeous. Amazing views from Clingmans Dome, the highest point on the Appalachian Trail. Then my socks froze solid.
Leading the Pack
Apparently I am leading the pack for north bound (NOBO) thru-hikers on the Appalachian Trail. Not sure how because I’m super slow.
First Snow on the Trail
Huge storm hit while I was the Appalachian Trail. Fortunately, I was able to get off trail, then enjoy the fresh snow-covered trails afterwards.
Done with Georgia!
Done with Georgia and into North Carolina. Here’s an update on my injuries and adventures in the first two weeks on the Appalachian Trail.
