    Hey Kelly, Awesome, the suspense leading up to the discovery of the water was palpable. Hope you guys enjoy some nice sunsets out there. Oh, I just realized, congrats on eclipsing 70k subscribers. Can't wait for Steamboat Springs, you have some beautiful sights in store for you.

    ... Collapse for 48 hrs+ ,, load up on calories and back on the march .... I can't even imagine ... When long stretches are known ahead ,, why not load up soft bladders ,,,, even when expected , water stashes are hit by lots of travelers ,, and the country is flooded by people everywhere ... Huge respect and thank you to Jim Taylor for help in need to others 👍,, Hope you are ready for Colorado weather ,, snow already falling in higher locations ,, that means CDT ..... Stay Safe ...

    Looks like a Prairie rattlesnake, one of the more chill species you'll find. Thanks for showing it to us and not killing it.. they just want to live their lives without bringing static to anyone. Also, want to mention that I'm really liking the addition of music that you're incorporating into the videos.

    Hi Kelly, glad you and the crew are back on trail. Question for you: is it cool to leave empty containers in trail magic coolers? The first cooler you guys came to was full of trash. Seems like the hiker that drank it should have gotten rid of the trash? Hope you continue to have fun. P.S. the rattlesnake would have scared the $h!t out of me.
