Kentucky Road Trip! Sheltowee Trace Gathering, Camp Wildcat Monument, 49er Diner, Miguels Pizza!

My buddy the Colonel and I took an epic road trip to Kentucky to attend the Gathering. Along the way we visited several memorable sections along the Trace, stayed in a log cabin and even got to enjoy some famous Miguel's pizza!

The Gathering is a year end celebration to recognize everyone who has thru-hiked the Sheltowee Trace in that given year. This year's Gathering also included the class of 2020 due to them not meeting last year during covid. I was given 20 minutes to speak about my recent FKT (fastest known time) during the event. We enjoyed some great food and fellowship with over 200 attendees at this year's Gathering.

The Cononel and I took this opportunity to make this a fun overnight trip video. We stayed at Fireglow Forest Riverside Cabins right alongside the beautiful Rockcastle River near Livingston Kentucky. We also vistied Camp Wildcat Battle Monument, the 49er Diner, one of my FKT campsites, Heidelberg City Park to look for my lost bag of Ibuprofen and finished it all off with some world famous Miguel's Pizza at Natural Bridge State Park.

The Gathering part of the video starts at minute 10:35 and ends at 33:25.
