River to River Trail | Thru-Hike | Day 2

This is a documentary of my first solo thru-hike attempt of the River to River Trail through Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois. On day two, I start at Buzzards Point near Garden of the Gods and hike through Herod, IL, One Horse Gap, and make camp north of Benham Hill. Get the Avenza app and download the R2R trail bundle. The overlook at 1:22 is Rocky Top not Eagle Point. Below are my gear and food lists. I also listed some resources for the trail and hikers I follow.
