If Dunks does not choose you as their future commercial spokeswoman then they are missing out!
Let’s hope an independently owned D & D decides to sponsor Taylor. I checked for her and that was the response from corporate.
agree! i think it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine that Taylor even talks about Dunks in her sleep 😂!
In theory she’s kinda doing it for free right now. Why would they want to pay her?
Although being videoed on Appalachian trail eating donuts and still hiking those miles. Their loss.
@@dawnsteisslinger353 true but it is good advertising and could help her out a bit financially with a few gift cards!
So you’re more relaxed without me, got it 😂😂
I miss you!
Yeah Cody, you were too fast for her.
😂
Thank you for introducing us to OG. We have caught up on his videos and love him! Now we get to watch you both. 👏🏻
Your plug for OG certainly got attention in the last video. He’s great to watch - thanks for sending us his way!
What is his channel name again
OG Hikes - Aron Goss
First, even from South Carolina (on a quick vacation) .. what’s wrong with me ? I keep following this kid .. Tool Time Taylor
George I really think I was first!!!! 🤔
@@leedanielson7452 ok .. I’ll give it to you … 😂
@@frolege1 Thanks kid I’ll take it!!!🤣
Taylor I’m enjoying your more laid back attitude this time around…😊
NJ Ny deli experience coming up
I Grew up in Warwick NY and now live in Waynesboro Va. I tell people all the time I can walk home if I want to!
I absolutely adore Warwick. I go to the drive in theater there about 18 times a summer haha. Been doing so since high school.
You gotta love a cattle/geese/deer pasture!
Deer, Geese and Cows O My!
You do know you have to turn around when you finish nobo and go sobo back the start in Georgia. Everyone is going to be lost without the daily video. I will give you $$$ for dunks if you do it. ❤😂
Been watching OG now !! So happy you ran into another NOBO !
Wow, living the dream! What a treasure to take that break and simply enjoy where you are and what you're doing with your life and in that moment. #relaxing
A lot of animals today. Super cool
whhhhooooooaaaa that second snake was giving you MAJOR side-eye haha
A raccoon got into a garage. It went after hubby and his broom. It was funny but like the scene from Christmas Vacation with the squirrel. 😂
I day hiked that section, and stairway to heaven on the other side of the road
The cow looked like it didn't appreciate your laughter 😂
Although I love living in NH and we can't wait for you to hike home Taylor. I am so happy to see you enjoying my original home state. My wife and I would hike in that area multiple times a year. Yes, the Pochuck boardwalk is enjoyed by many including this "Chuck". Thanks for appreciating it and sharing the wildlife and surroundings.
I moved to NH from Sussex County as well, I miss some things back home but NH is a away better place to live 😁
@@jdds1165 Agreed
I live not far from The Stairway to Heaven, Heaven Hill Farm & the Warwick Drive-in. It was so interesting & fun seeing it all from your perspective…both this time and last…. Barrett Road, where the trail comes out, is my go to off the mountain and to do our Grocery Shopping at the ShopRite by the Drive-In…. Been driving that road since it was dirt! Had I’d known your timing I would have been glad to have shuttled you wherever you needed to go 😊…. I’m sure you’re long gone though here by now ….Maybe next time 😉…Happy & Safe hiking
The NJ boardwalk looks cool .. never been there
Good video with lots of good views, some deers and 2 gardens snakes 😮, so let's keep on hiking 😊
I love the New Jersey boardwalk !
Also the other boardwalk in NJ is in Atlantic City!
I’ve enjoyed watching Kara and Nate’s channel that you recommended.
I thought the same thing about the odd mix of animals 😂
Stairway to Heaven section is a great hiking area just 1 hour from midtown Manhattan
My husband and I so enjoy your journey. You are amazing! And thank you for telling us about OG! We love him too
Mid-day coffee and donut breaks are the best. So cool of Dawn to hook you up! Totally remember Heaven Hill Farm. We relaxed there and I remember the big Stairway to Heaven Climb! -Kami
Thanks for sharing your features and the wonderful scenery of NJ and NY states. I am of Ojibway background and I often wondered how they were able to migrate to different hunting grounds from the St Laurance or Great Lakes. It seems that if you follow natural terrain features South, it is possible to get over those Appalachian Mountain ranges.
A good, yet long day. Happy hiking.
Your doing great!!! BEST HIKING CHANNEL EVER!!! PLEASE PLEASE ....HIKE THE CDT!!! YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT AWAY...JUST one day...when your ready!!!
This is where I grew up. I volunteered in parks and refuges throughout this area
Loved the boardwalk. Reminded me of The Heath in Saco, Maine. The boardwalk goes over a 1200 acre peatland preservation. Solid day Taylor! Take care ✌️
Beautiful hike. You are doing so good. Thank you.
That bench you were on, in Walkill River NWR, I put that there 😁 Pochuck boardwalk is because its in the Pochuck valley, you came off Pochuck mountain. glad you enjoyed it but New Hampshire is way better. (less ticks) Heaven Hill is nice
GM, Taylor.
That was an interesting day. Thanks!
Looked like a nice day hiking. Lots of good trail magic. Lots of wildlife and 🐄.. Love the board walk. Safe travels.
Have a great day!! You’re moving right along
High Pt .. see it once and you’re good for another 10-15 years
Happy hiking today
I bet you'd enjoy a Survivor movie, Taylor! 😂
Looked like a great day, thanks for sharing it with us!
Met your mom the other day at the shop! No doubt where you get your awesome energy !!!! Hike on!
the crampton inn
Nice day!
👍
That boardwalk is pretty cool looking!Thanks for the vlog
Liking your adventures ))🇺🇦🙏
Seems like you did have a really great day! Hope there are lots more 😊
I love new Jersey section bears @ boardwalk to walk on sweet
I section hiked Pochuck boardwalk about a month ago, so surprised to luck into an easy section of AT the day before I did an ultra in Sussex County. Love your channel!
Breakfast shot hooked me in, haven’t had mine yet. 😂🤷♂️
Thanks for the great channel!
thanks!!
Long way to Katahdin.
Making great progress 👣🌻
The snake on the boardwalk was like "If I don't move, she can't see me!"
The boardwalk in Vernon Township, followed by Wawayanda Lean-To/Shelter. Good view from the top of the hill, no? 8 states behind you - only 6 more to go. Be well, stay safe.
Looks like you found some garter snakes!
I hope you get 50❤ Ken NC
You’ll have to give us, what you think in summary of each state. That would be interesting.
i want those Goodr sunglasses but cannot find that color! are they in your store? i will buy them if you have that color !! LOL
Yes, the sunglasses are from my shop!
Interested in what the tick situation is like in NJ right now
Ben Affleck and Taylor, “competing” Dunks commercial spokespersons lol
Hitching in NY sucks! It's technically illegal, but also folks just don't pick people up. I was with three other people at the ice cream place you're probably going to get to in the next vlog, and we were trying to hitch to the drive-in from there. All experienced hitchers, one was a girl. We were spread out at different places along the road/parking lot. After an hour we gave up and called a shuttle.
Heard a wood thrush calling in the background when you were filming the racoon sighting. They have a lovely, melodic song. Glad to hear the trail magic continues to flow your way along the trail. Dunkin is a special treat!
The wood thrush is one of my favorite songbirds, I love their happy song. Swainson's thrush have a nice song, too. I hear a lot of those in the mountains of NH.
@@davem4193 yes, the thrushes calls are magical.
I don’t know who was more curious- you or the cows! Beautiful video today. BTW, how is the air quality for you? I know you are several days further along but it does look smoky in the northeast. Keep charging!
Coming up on nearby MNR train station locations. Any chance of a NYC side trip?
How bad were the mosquitoes in that swamp area? Maybe the wind kept them away.
Are you getting many ticks?
Ok, here’s a random question…
I noticed that you use your COROS watch for step count, calories burned, etc.
I have a COROS Pace 2 watch, and on my AT section hike last week I saw that if I’m using trekking poles, the COROS step count is always lower than the step count on my iPhone health app. Sometimes the difference is 10 to 15%.
Have you seen this? (if I’m not using trekking poles, the step count is equal.)
Interesting … I track my steps on all sorts of devices and apps and most are off from each other by 5-7% … not sure what device/app is the most accurate do for now I just use my Apple Watch ⌚️
What brand of watch do you wear for your mileage and steps?
How is it that you can eat packed-out food that hasn't been refrigerated without getting sick? Just curious.
It's just for a few hours
Lighting bugs on trail?
I’m not a fan of raccoons either, they can be quite aggressive! My friends love to tease me about my irrational fear.
I think I would enjoy hiking in NJ.
I wanna pet em
spend time with your husband after this hike....
That's the plan...
First!!!!!😂
Maybe … I need to verify
@@frolege1 😝
11:04 Raccoons are greedy and evil.
oh my god please don't reincarnate me as a dairy cow....
