    Forget the snakes, its the ticks in that tall grass!

      Its actually both but you are correct that ticks get more people. In 2017, my wife and 7 others in our community(NE CT) died from tick diseases. Nothing in the news about it. Please keep warning people. I also recommend Permethrin for clothes and gear. I treat every 3 to 4 weeks. Picaridin just doesn't seem to work. Good Luck, Rick

    I think you're funny and I appreciate that. I also appreciate that you don't make the trail look easy. I follow a few different hikers and so many of them make it look so easy to knock out 20 plus mile days, day after day. I know darned well it would not be easy for me, so that's something I appreciate about you!

    It takes a mile or more before a runner gets warmed up just like it takes you 1 1/2 miles before you warm up. If you've ever ran a 5k you'll notice runners warm up 15 minutes before the start. You're doing great!

    You know, some rewards are just worth the extra pain. I’d say good food is one of those rewards. And seeing that tall grass gives me the hibbie-jibbies and just makes me phantom itch. 😂 Keep pushing through Hiker Hays.

    Hey so I just discovered your channel and I am so glad I did! I just love your personality and energy ❤️💕🌸. I love that you have faith, you’re self aware, you seem like such a loving light, you’re grounded and seem centered and like you have joy and peace and it’s so nice to see and get to experience your journey thru hiking with you! It’s so refreshing to see another girl that’s unique and interesting and just yourself! I’m also a Tom boy and I’m quirky, so I love when I find a sister in that! Haha. I’d love to thru hike but can’t due to some health stuff but I get to live vicariously through you haha. God bless you and have fun out there peanut! :).

    Hey Kelly! Just want to let you know that I am watching you since I can't do the AT, but am doing the Rhiensteig here in Germany and am 34 miles out from being done. Not exactly the mileage you are doing, but tough in all the same. I want to say that I love watching the videos and have been watching you religiously and I appreciate what you are doing! Especially after your surgery! You get it Girl! Will comment again this coming weekend after I get done with my 200 miler. Please stay safe!

    My wife and I are enjoying your videos. In 2019 I did a section hike from Four Pines Hostel to the alpaca farm. I had stayed at Bear Garden Hostel as well. I did short days because of heel blisters. I also took several neros and zeroes to treat the issue, so I stayed at a hotel in Bland, Weary Feet Hostel, Woods Hole, and Angel's Rest. It was late October and I spent nearly every night alone, in contrast to this year's Amicalola to Hot Springs, when I spent exactly zero days on trail camping alone. The AT is SLAMMED with hikers more than I have seen in over 30 years of section hikes! God bless you for sharing your journey and your faith! 🙏👍☺

    @greenleyacresfarm4916 3 роки тому

    I have been doing math for the last few days trying to plan my thru hike for next year. I couldn't resist doing yours since you were saying, "Only 1/4 of the way after all that work" So, you have gone 348 miles at that sign. Not counting what you did today> and at 34 days you are averaging 10.242 a day. At this rate you will complete the hike, including the 200 you missed around a week before Christmas. 180 days left. And that is ONLY if you clock in that 10.242 daily without any Zeros. I was sort of shocked for you to see that realization. But if you aren't in any hurry and can still complete it within the year of your start date to be counted as a thru hike by the ATC. If you don't care about what they say you can always come back next summer to complete. Or 15.37 miles per day no zeros and get done mid October. I am going to attempt 4 months to be done but doubt it...that IS my goal though. I just don't want to be so focused on getting it done I miss the journey.

    Morning Kelly! Congrats on 25% done!!! All I could think about when you took a bite of the pepper was the opening to the original Iron Chef! Man I am old… You will most likely carry the same or a little more weight with a no cook diet. That has been my experience over the last 2 years of doing it. But you save so much time not cooking and cleaning it is totally worth it. I hope you left an offering for the forest fairies! What a beautiful section of trail today, made better by the greatest band in all the land! Have you listened to any good shows you could share with everyone? Slack pack 26.2 miles and eat a cake? Challenge accepted!! What a fun day. I hope you do keep the trail name, it is very fitting :) Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well.

      Actually, fawns are left alone for hours by the mom. Usually the fawn stays curled up and resting while mom is out getting a bite to eat. They have an instinct not to move so this one must have been disturbed. Hopefully mama will return for her baby by evening.
