Video #002: William B. Umstead Park, Sycamore Trail in Raleigh North Carolina Last summer, on a hot/humid day, we hiked a modified double loop on William B. Umstead State park ( 16 miles ) that I was NOT prepared. I suffered with terrible cramps and dehydration. So bad so, that I lost nearly 20 lbs of water weight in under 8 hours. My hands and feet were numb and tingling. After soaking in a ba...

    Don I tore that area up on my bike as a kid, before the lake had a loop. Once rode the loop sixty times one day because, well, why not. At 1:05- that's my second favorite water spot- it's usually somewhat cold. The best one- 35.829870, -78.734917

      Yeah. its my goto backyard hike. It's the only one I can leave my house to go do really. Planning to do a full "virtual hike" with no breaks or commentary. it will take a lot of hikes to make that happen. :)

    Great video! I'm sorry you had traumatic experience and glad you're okay! Valuable lessons definitely learned. Love the water spots, could sit there for hours! Yep, the snakes have awakened!

    There is an external aircraft fuel tank embedded just off the trail heading uphill at the end.

    You went the correct direction! Those zigzags are less than fun at the very end. Nice video!

    • @DonYourBackpack
      @DonYourBackpack Рік тому

      Yeah. I have been the other way before. Only problem is I like the water being available towards the end. But, its not long enough of a hike to worry much about it really.
