Deam Wilderness (Indiana) Backpacking - May 2024
The second trip of the 2024 season took me back to the Charles Deam Wilderness southeast of Bloomington, Indiana. The original plan for this trip had been to do a hike in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but a number of factors made a return trip to Gatlinburg not feasible. Fortunately, Christian had returned to Indiana to join us on a Florida spring break trip so he was able to join me for the short overnighter in Deam. Also joining for the hike were our two dogs - chocolate lab Bailey, who has been on many hikes previously, and trail 'newby' (and family dog newby) Millie, a rescued 4-month old puppy terrier-black lab mix. (I talk more about Millie's story in the intro to the video a...

    Great to see you are back on the trails. The new pooch is a good addition.

Definitely too old for another dog. Stay healthy and keep hiking with Christian and the dogs.

    I enjoy your videos very much. Was happy to see a new one. My partner of 14 years passed away suddenly 3.5 months ago. I was living with her in her country which was not conducive to walks. One of the reasons was also because she disliked walks and all outdoor activities. So during those years with her i enjoyed your videos very much because it was an outlet for those yearnings to be in the forest. I am now back in my country with her ashes and I have had 2 walks since coming back in early March. There are 3 more upcoming walks. I have no friends after being away for 14 years and am glad I managed to find a hiking meetup for me to forget about the immense pain of losing her at least for a few hours while in the peaceful and embracing forest. Hiking can be addictive and I hope you will continue walking and sharing with us.

    Another great David Gray video! You mentioned that you will be out in Glacier Park in early September. I also drew an early September permit for the North Fork area of the park. When and where will you be doing your trip?

    • @davidgrayin
      @davidgrayin 28 дней назад

      My permit is for the Two Medicine area. At this time it's my 'hope' to get out there - I started a new job in 2023 and still being the 'new guy' it's hard to squeeze in a bunch of vacation days. I have two week-long trips planned in July 2024 plus a spring break trip I took in May is making me a little skittish to take a 4th week of vacation, but it sure is hard to pass up an opportunity to hike in Glacier! You're going to love the North Fork area. Make sure to stop in at Polebridge Mercantile for a huckleberry bear claw.

And if/when I get back there I'll take you up on the offer - I realize you can use all the help you can get in the North Fork especially when you're going solo and trying to sort out all the logistics.

    • @davidgrayin
      @davidgrayin 29 дней назад

      I agree with being careful about Lyme disease, and I'm sorry to hear you contracted it. I've been on enough hikes pulling dozens (hundreds) of ticks off me that you can't help but be nervous and vigilant about it. The worst was a Big South Fork hike we did a few years back where there were a about ten stuck to me when we arrived at the shower at Charit Creek Lodge. After the trip I coincidentally had a doctor's checkup appointment and I asked my doctor about doing a lyme disease blood test - he said 'well, we're not going to go chasing after lyme disease'. It all worked out ok, but unless you've been in the deep woods pulling 25 ticks off at a time you can't quite understand.
