john and i took off from camp just before 0700, again following the connector trail to the azt
this time we went south to the intersection with fred haught trail and returned the same way
a little more elevation gain on this part
hiked the fred haught part of the trail with @tibber two years ago, so that makes four times i've done the entire blue ridge azt section
nice hiking on pine needle covered single track in ponderosa forest
convenient going from rock crossing campground

Hike #3 of our Rock Crossing camping trip. Today we took the connecter to the AZT and hiked south to the Fred Haught trail intersection. A little more interesting and strenuous than the northern part of segment #27. Another fine day in the pines. Thanks Kelly! :)

john and i left camp around 0715, taking the little campground trail to the blue ridge azt trail
we went north to the end of the segment near highway 87 and returned the same way
the only real elevation change was just south of blue ridge campground so easy hiking
nice morning and good to be in the pines
thanks, john

Hike #2 of our Rock Crossing camping trip. We hiked from camp north on the AZT to the end of segment #27 and back. There is a AZT signed connecter trail from the campground, stretching 1/3 mile to the AZT.
Nice day. Fun hike. Thanks Kelly! :)
