Day 126: Finding Our Own Way / CDT Thru-hike 2024

- I intend to hike the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) in 2024 and will vlog my experience. Follow me under "Old Man and the CDT."
I am Mike Current, 61-years-old, and retired military. I served for over 30 years in the US Army.
After retirement, I opened two small businesses. But after a few years, I sold both businesses because they were taking time away from pursuing personal goals, like hiking and sailing.
I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in 2020 and Appalachian Trail (AT) in 2022. I vlogged (video journaled) my experiences under "Old Man and the PCT" and "Old Man and the AT", respectively.
I sailed around the Chesapeake Bay in my Tayana 37 sailboat over the summer of 2023 and vlogged the experience under the UA-cam channel "Old Man and the Sea."
I do not monetize my videos in any manner. However, if you would like to contribute to helping veterans thru-hike as a form of therapy for PTSD, please consider donating to Warrior Expeditions at warriorexpedit...
Cute Douglas Squirrell. Great scenery minus the hailstorm!
Great ending to a rainy and hail filled day!
🦋❤️
Enjoy your town day.
Nice!
Those cabin houses!!!
Hi ya !
The town time forgot was neat ! The old pickup toooo !
Sushi 🍣 tooo
You stay safe warm and dry ! See ya tomorrow 😊
Very cool walk today, yeah. Loved the town time forgot. The woods were great today, too. Looked like a good walk. Your camera work makes me feel like I walking along with you. Thx.
Love the old town. Looks like a movie set.
That town was so cool! Even the vehicles were vintage! Knee Deep's umbrella for the win!
Interesting day on the CDT. Energizer's Animal Kingdom series continues with a great squirrel scene. Hikers take an alternate to the closed alternate and pass through an alternate reality of what looks like a living ghost town. And the day ends in Helena, Montana, the last place you would think to find an all-you-can-eat sushi place (it's a good thing it was on Energizer's CDT cheat sheet). As you got your money's worth from that restaurant, your viewers get their time's worth from watching your great videos.😉
The town that time forgot….Loved seeing the Datsun pickup. Great video Energizer!
Good morning, Mike. All the alternates to the alternate could get confusing. Glad you had a great navigator in the tramily who got you through safely. A little rain isn't bad, but the hail can hurt. Ya'll are doing great. You're making steady progress toward Canada. Great views. Always interesting to see what you're hiking through or along. Take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Hi Mike. If you are going to have a storm, glad it was at night so you had cover. Glad you show so much of the land. I see more scenery in your videos then I see in other UA-cam videos that are 3 times longer then yours. You do a great job with the camera. The planning that goes on with this trip is amazing with all the alternates. With all the closures, is that too on Far Out or is there other Apps you can follow. Like to see those towns that time forgot. Sorry you got bad weather in the end, but at least your in a dry spot with Laundry/Shower. Be Strong, Be Safe, and thanks for taking us on this Journey.
My first car was that old Datsun pickup! Fun times in high school!
Those tree rattlers are pretty dangerous 😂
What a mess of alternatives
