Itinerary:

 Crazy Chocolate

Join me as I continue my trek down the Talladega National Forest on the Pinhoti Trail. This trail is in the Central timezone, but all times listed are in the EASTERN timezone.


Choccolocco Creek... What can it mean except CRAZY CHOCOLATE? You have to be crazy to not like chocolate!

This section of the Pinhoti doesn't have any big climbs, but we will be along the creek and go next to a lake and move quickly through this section of the Talladega National Forest. We will be crossing the creek at least three times and I expect to be able to rock hop and tree walk across, but I would recommend water shoes just in case.

This is a great section of typical Talladega trekking, a greatest hit hike if there ever was one.

This is a long D5 hike and we will be averaging around 3 mph on this trek, recent D5 experience is required to join the fun.
