Love the music you've added to some of the recent videos. Very inspirational. God Bless You on youre journey. Also loved the message, "this is temporary" so true
I absolutely love watching you both on your journey! ❤❤ I am glad you are having fun! Thank you for sharing those old photos on the walls at the spa! And the music you set to it made it magical! What a wonderful spa day you had! I want to go to Hot Springs now 🥰
Seeing the museum of articles about WWII reminded me that my grandfather, who was an Army officer at the time, liberated on of the many concentration camps. He never talked about what he saw, but it affected him deeply.
So glad that you had a restful, rejuvenating time at the Hot Springs resort. Love your new hat LB! You can put your ponytail through the back opening. Hike on and be safe!
What a great zero day relaxing in your mineral bath. That must have felt so good. Love your hat Little Bear. Its so cute on you. I'm sure you're at Uncle Johnny's by now. Loving your videos every morning. Happy Trails and enjoy all the special days. Winkle
The BRS stove is the most common budget stove used by hikers... its on just about every "budget friendly" list and has survived many miles with many people. We have one. We have not put too many miles on it yet, but hope it lasts! Seems to work.
The decor at the lodge was beautiful. Loved the furniture. The 3D map was so cool. ☕️🥐Glad you quenched your craving LB. Thank you for showing the history MB, I enjoyed the photos. Omg I almost forgot, the privy poster...Crappalachian Trail! 😂 Classic. Well bears, a day well earned. See you back out there 🌲⛺️🌲
I love how y’all are making the most of every day! You will have memories that last a lifetime. This day looked like a break that was needed and well deserved.
Perfect zero! Glad you got to enjoy the hot springs! We look forward to your next blog. We are hiking to Katahdin with you via your vlog. Awesome videos we just love that you show so much of the trail. Thank you for that❤.
🤩 Wow! It looks like you both had the most wonderful Spa Day in Hot Springs! It looks to be a beautiful Town! I can’t stop laughing at LB’s comment at the end😂, “Can you feel the chemicals come into your skin?” 😂 literally 💀 😂 LB has quite the sense of humour! ❤ Hope you enjoy today (I remember you saying that the videos are behind where you are, which is VERY smart for safety reasons) ❤ Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures ❤
Hey Ladies My 12 year old son and I are getting on trail this weekend. We are hoping to run in to some of our favorite 2024 thru hikers. We will be around 19E Saturday - Tuesday, making a stop at Boots Off to do some trail magic breakfast sammies Tuesdays morning. Hope to see yall.
I had so many different statements of complements to write but after viewing your face mask utilization I couldn’t stop laughing. Oh in such a lovely way you two are crazy. God be with you on the trail ahead & as my Mon would say Sweet Dreams ❤😊
Glad ya'll are enjoying Hot Springs. I know you enjoyed your mother/daughter shopping/spa day. You looked like you were having fun. By now, you're on your way or are already at Uncle Johnny's. Ya'll take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Have enjoyed following your AT adventure. I am a section hiker slowly making my way north. BTW, the BRS stove would be a good backup stove. I have used it for the past 3 yrs. It does not heat up as fast, but is very light and so far reliable.
Little Bear reminds me of my granddaughter. Her name is Ava and she is 11. They resemble each other so much it’s spooky. Thanks for sharing your adventure. My Ava and I have watched together. We loved your videos
Hot Springs to Uncle Johnny's is roughly 14 miles per day. Hope you make it ok. You could always get a ride at Sam's Gap or Spivey if you run low on food. Hiker hunger should be kicking in soon. 🙂
🚶♀️🐻👟👟🚶♂️🐻😺👟👟⛺🌞 looks like y'all had a great zero girl spa day Hot springs is a very nice place I love going there next time I'm there I'm going to look for your sticker enjoy your time love and light to you both and goodnight Ellie 🐈😺
Little Bear, maybe you can put your ponytail through the hole in the back of the hat? That may work. I absolutely love your videos and your journey is AMAZING!! ❤
So glad you two had a day off from the trail and filled it with relaxation. Mama Bear you stated that your son, Logan as playing the guitar riff in your videos. It sounds very interesting. Not sure if he or you know that every Thursday evening at Squid Lips, there is a ‘Thursday Night Jam’ session there. A bunch of us ( up to 15 players) older people 😂 get together and play rock n roll and blues. I’m sure your son, Logan, would be allowed to play a few songs of his or just sit in and jam with the old folks 😊. Ellen ONieal heads it up now. She has a group of her own name, Phoenix. My cousin, John use to but he recently retired from it and handed over to her. Also, I’m not sure what styles he likes with regards to music but maybe he’d like to listen to my favorite artist, Todd Rundgren. Here’s a recent review video of one his older albums. ua-cam.com/video/8BBZ8FWJtns/v-deo.htmlsi=xOFnv1CRk40di0yW. Forgive me if I’ve offended you or others with my comment here. Music is an expression of our emotions. 👍🐱🧸🐻⛰️🥾🎶
What a variety of interesting things to see and do in Hot Springs! Love that you had a full day of pampering yourselves. Look forward to seeing you hit the trail again tomorrow. G'nite Elle.
When you get to harpers ferry in the next couple months I would recommend THE TOW"S INN. Just up the hill from the AT office and in the middle of the historic area.
You two are hilarious!! As a man I totally don’t understand the purpose of the masks but I love that you put them on in the video. Really interesting day and you obviously had a lot of fun. Love and hugs. R
So fun to see y'all in Hot Springs....my birthday trip for the last couple years has been an Iron Horse stay and a soak. MB you have to go back with your husband! Keep rocking it ladies!
Now this was a first. A facial mask on the AT. Glad you guys got a day off. I can tell you guys enjoyed it very much. I have the BSR stove and I love it. I have used it exclusively for the last 5 years or so. It’s a great little stove. I also love my Hoka Bondi 8’s, they are the best shoes I have ever used. Got probably 5-600 miles on them. Don’t but the Hoka Bondi 10’s they are not nearly as good.
I’m with Little Bear no way I’d carry that coffee out unless I can ditch that cup somewhere before climbing up that big hill. Then again I’m not a coffee drinker lol!
How fascinating that in 2300 German prisoners of war were sent to Hot Springs in WWI. I never heard of this history before. It sounds like they were treated well. Here is something I read: Unable to return the men home while war was raging, the government leased the luxurious Mountain Park Hotel in Hot Springs to house them. Each of the hotel’s 200 steam-heated, electric-lighted bedrooms accommodated between three and five German officers, while rows of barracks and accessory buildings were constructed on the resort’s grounds and golf course to house crew members. When not farmed out for harvesting lumber or road building projects, homesick internees inside the barbed wire-enclosed camp created a Bavarian village-including houses, a church and even a carousel-using driftwood from the French Broad River, tin cans and other materials. They also crafted furniture, grew gardens and played sports. A German brass band provided concerts for the townspeople every Sunday afternoon. After living in the camp for 17 months, many internees developed close friendships with local families. Some returned to visit after the war ended.
Good morning Mama Bear and Little Bear! Good day to both of you! You're doing very well! Be and Stay in Good Spirits Alway's if at all possible! You've done that and enjoy the trail! Thank you both for sharing your adventure!!
🌺💜💗💜🌺💜💗💜🌺💜💗💜🌺💜💗💜🌺 LITTLE BEARS HAIR IS STARTING TO LIGHTEN UP WHILE YOU ARE ON TRAIL OR INTERACTING WITH TREKKERS CAN YOU DISCUSS SHOES/CLOTHES CHOICES THEY HAVE MADE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT THAN THE ONES YOU HAVE MADE???
It baffles me that Americans give their kids coffee I barely let my 11yo have a sip of mine 😅 I wonder if it's like a cultural thing? Beautiful little town looks like you guys really enjoyed yourselves ❤ the stone with the wolf on was very cool!! Also love it when you guys show your resupply x
Can't wait to see Little Bear rocking that new hat on trail!!! Perfect choice :)
Those face masks 😂👍🏼
You Two are Awesome!

Naturally Little Bear should wear the hat. It's got wild flowers on it. 😁

You guys are doing so well! Enjoy the journey. For some reason, I wanted to listen to “Metal Health” by Quiet Riot at the very end of the video…

I love hot springs and also that Sierra Ferrell song that was playing in the background. I live in the area.
Good video, with the walk around the hostel and town, lots of good foods, so let's keep on hiking 😊
Another awesome video!

Mineral bath would feel great on sore muscles. Nice little town, I see a road trip in my future. Enjoy the facial, lol

Oh I need to go and see Hot Springs ASAP! What a beautiful town! Mommy Daughter Spa Day🙌🙌🙌🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕

It was great!!
We did the hot springs bath a few years ago. It was so good
Hope your hike is going well.
It is! Thank you! 🙏🏼
I enjoy hot springs and we did the baths to. .
I’m with Little Bear no way I’d carry that coffee out unless I can ditch that cup somewhere before climbing up that big hill. Then again I’m not a coffee drinker lol!
😂
Marmot rain gear is cool gear. You’ll like it. I own one. Will sweat in it but sheds water well Thru full day of rain
It’s a nice jacket! No complaints. I’m glad I gave it a try.

Thanks for sharing! 😊
Is LB a dancer? I thought I saw some moves in this video 😊
She has taken a few years of ballet. She’s also a wrestler and Jiu Jitsu practitioner. 😊
What price beauty, eh? Guessing Sephora feels more luxurious! My daughter loves them, we don’t have one in Franklin. lol
Wouldn't it be great to have one of those Hot Springs tubs about every 200 miles on the trail?
Oh yes! That would be amazing! 🤩
Great videos. What guide book or app do you ladies use (thru hikers companion, AT data book , AT guide, etc…)?
FarOut
Thanks! 😊
What a way to pamper yourselves...😊❤ Enjoy your time
Good morning Mama Bear and Little Bear! Good day to both of you! You're doing very well! Be and Stay in Good Spirits Alway's if at all possible! You've done that and enjoy the trail! Thank you both for sharing your adventure!!
Laughing so hard. The face masks were classic.
🌺💜💗💜🌺💜💗💜🌺💜💗💜🌺💜💗💜🌺
LITTLE BEARS HAIR IS STARTING TO LIGHTEN UP
WHILE YOU ARE ON TRAIL OR INTERACTING WITH
TREKKERS CAN YOU DISCUSS SHOES/CLOTHES
CHOICES THEY HAVE MADE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN
DIFFERENT THAN THE ONES YOU HAVE MADE???
Hi! That might be an interesting topic….not sure if it’s a topic of fond memories though. 😂😊
Best line from LB: Canbyou feel the chemicals going into your skin?
😂😂😂
It baffles me that Americans give their kids coffee I barely let my 11yo have a sip of mine 😅 I wonder if it's like a cultural thing? Beautiful little town looks like you guys really enjoyed yourselves ❤ the stone with the wolf on was very cool!!
Also love it when you guys show your resupply x
She doesn’t drink coffee regularly, only once in a while. 😊 We had a great time. Thanks! 🙏🏼
Way to take care of yourselves ladies!
Face mask 😂😂😂
