    I started watching Stella at episode 67…I’ve been watching the sparks fly and chemistry between Stella ❤and Leffee… now I gotta go back and see how they met from the beginning. Maybe I’m just imagining a love story but I’m a hopeless romantic ❤or just hopeless 😂
    I’m not into hiking at all.. her page just popped up with day 67 and I thought 💭 what is she up too?

    CONGRATULATIONS STELLA AND LEFFES🎊🎈🎉💃🍻💕As I sit here with my coffee crying my eyes out, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking us on your incredibly awesome journey!!! It has been my dream for as long as I can remember , to through hike the AT. My responsibilities have never allowed me the opportunity so far. But I am going to try my best to get in shape physically and fiscally to try it when I can retire. I really look forward to your content that you are planning to do. I am a 61 year old critical care RN and I love the mountains and the beach🥰 As always, you are in my prayers!! Thank you so much💗💗💗💗

    Three cheers for the two of you - huzzah! Bravo! You mention reflecting and processing the memories of the trail - the goods, the bads and all the stuff in between. You will never stop reminding yourself of what took place. The thru-hike was a watershed experience and a rite of passage that will linger with you for all your days - New Hampshire and Maine will more than likely be the stand-outs, because of their difficulties, but also because of their unique beauty. Now there is the time and opportunity to decompress, re-charge and re-enter the world, as you knew it, prior to your journey. Be well, stay safe. Wli Bamkanni...

The ups and downs. You've been an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your journey and your life. What have you learned the most about yourself? To the top, to the top you go. Your excitement was contagious. My heart strings were touched and my emotions welled up for you. ❤. I'm so glad you had decent weather so you could enjoy your time on top of the world. EEK, Looked very treacherous going down. 😮. Keep trekking. 😊

    Congratulations!❤❤❤! Thank you for sharing your incredible journey as I was captivated from episode 1 to the end here at episode 122. As I’ve mentioned earlier in previous comments, your documenting of the trail with an eye towards the beauty of the natural surroundings has inspired many of us to go outside and imagine possibilities, connect with nature, and use that experience to cultivate our own creative impulses just as you have done with your journaling. Now that the journey has come to an end, I’ll have to come to terms with the fact that there will be no more Stella Hikes vlogs to look forward to but am eager to see what comes next! (Please consider the Sawtooths in Idaho or Canadian Rockies starting in Banff down to vermillion passage). All episodes were spectacular but I’ll be re-visiting my favorite four for inspiration and motivation: Sunset at the Roan Highlands, snowy, serene landscapes in the Grayson Highlands, and incredible sunrise near Ivey Creek overlook off of skyline drive VA, and our course, Summiting Katahdin🎉🎉🎉.

Pay attention to your health and nutrition that has had to suffer . I’m sure everyone in looking forward to advice and gear information. After trail adjustments and perspective are full of information that everyone of us that have been following your journey are excited for. Congrats again now go get your self a hound dog ! You deserve one. They help keep centered ,grounded , with loyalty and love. Remember you were chosen.
