the group collectively decided to push through the rest of the trail Saturday… with one very important goal in mind: COOKOUTTTT (a day early ;)

TOOOOK ON PISGAHH this weekend!! 🏕️ LOTS of miles, lots of climbing, & somehow the vibes stayed high through all of it (with Waffle House in mind)…

the first night was spent camping up on the ridgeline under some seriously clear & starry skies 🌔 then made it to our second campsite along the trail, where some very well-earned sleep was had :)

safe to say EVERYONE ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED the mileage & kept the vibes highhh 🙌 we can’t wait to keep getting outside together!!
