September 29, 2024 - Sandy Ridge Trail

Picture of the Day 

    This blog chronicles the hikes I've completed in the Lee 333 Challenge. I named the challenge 333 because in my first calculation of the total mileage it added up to 333 miles. However, since then I discovered it is not that simple. I've found many trails not on the maps or in guidebooks as well as numerous abandoned logging roads. I haven't set a challenge deadline because I can't dedicate myself 100% to it. However, if the SNAP 500 (or SHEN 500) can be done in one year, I don't see any reason why a dedicated enthusiast couldn't complete the Lee 333 in under a year also. 

Today's Hike:
Distance: 3.88
Duration: 3:22
Ascent: 620ft
PATC Difficulty: 69

Lee 333 Progress Summary:
Trails: 71 of 191
Trail Miles: 210.58 of 441.33 miles (230.75 miles to go)
Hiked Miles: 332.97 miles
Total Ascent: 73516 feet
