After finishing my Appalachian Trail thru hike I was experiencing severe lower back pain that on bad days extended throughout my whole body. Turns out I had some major issues including a Sacroiliac problem and two bulging disks. I did two months of physical therapy with an amazing physical therapist, my Sacroiliac problem is now stabilized and my two bulging disks are still healing. Due to my recovery I wasn't able to maintain the amount of hiking/physical activity that I would've liked to. But I still managed to get outside and maintain my sanity, here are some photographs from the handful of outdoor adventures i've had since arriving back home after summiting mama K.
Trey Mountain
Elevation 4,430 ft
Trey Mountain is my favorite mountain in North Georgia.
Blue Hole Falls.
Blood Mountain
Elevation 4,458 ft
Yonah Mountain
Elevation 3.166 ft
Yonah Mountain has a lot to offer. The trail leading to the top offers a moderately challenging hike and is littered with climbing & bouldering making it a great spot for hikers and climbers alike.

We went up Yonah the hard way.

Ciao & Happy Trails!
I am currently selling prints of my photographs on my ETSY shop.
I am trying to make enough money to purchase a water proof camera backpack in order to keep my gear safe for all of my future adventures. Thank you for your support!
