    I haven't been to West Virginia since 1987, and I rode in a car for 13 hours from Georgia to get there. You have hiked a 13 hour car ride.

    “Excuse me sir…. Thank you sir….. Have a good day sir…..” 😂 That cracked me up. Getting close to the Mason Dixon. Keep “rocking” it. lol

    You have a very nice singing voice ... By the way (;writing July 31 ) Conn , mass , NH , VT , Maine had two weeks of very heavy rain and the trails up here are Soaked , and it's the worst mosquito season I've seen ... hopefully things will dry out by the time you are up here . As always , lord bless.... I literally blurted out to my hound dog , Casey , ....Kelly posted again ....happy trails ....

    I'm sure your well into Pennsylvania by now, they Nick named it rocksylvania because it has every type of rock. Little ones big ones pointed ones, round ones the elevation is relatively flat except for the gaps that are down and right back up but the rocks can be annoying because of the consistent change in environment looking forward to watching your journey, i have never followed anyones though hikes in the past because i love the surprise in seeing something new, you have inspired me to finish my journey. I have only been on trial once since my l.a.s.h. (long ass section hike)in 2015 I skipped about 300 miles in Virginia due to heat and lack of water and late start and 100 miles in Vermont. (I just bought a bus ticket to springer 2 days in advance and packed a bag in 2015 but had a little backpacking experience and winged it with no plan) You have inspired me to dust off the gear and finish my journey and I thank you for that -ny breakfast-

    OMG! this was recommended to me and I thought I recognized the girl in the picture so I clicked and holy cow! My buddy and I were doing a section hike, hog camp gap to reeds gap, and we all sat around that campfire next to spy rock. Glad to see you're thru hike is going well. I hoped those banana chips and peanuts I gave you on top of three ridges served you. well atleast until you got to the DB brewery. You got my subscription. Happy trails!

    I believe that was a flock of female turkeys. They typically hang out in all male or female flocks. I saw a gang of em once like that backpacking in KY. Thanks for sharing all the beauty of the trail, even Mr. Snake. 😂🐍

    Change out shoes before they deteriorate. You will save yourself a lot of pain by not pushing your shoes. I like ponchos over rain gear. A good poncho can also be used as a tarp or extend the entrance of your tent. Learn how to create a hot poncho incase you get cold. Have fun. Good Luck, Rick

My head net is one of the main things that has kept me sane, I hope you were able to find one. Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind.

      I like Magan's videos but I don't think she will be on UA-cam really soon. She likes to make those "happy thoughts" videos. but right now she is dealing with her second serious injury. She admitted before that it's hard to be happy when dealing with injury. Also this is about the time she will be getting off the trail to go and attend her friend's wedding. So she might not be hiking too much more right now. But she was making hiking videos before the AT, so I guess she will be making them after the AT. At least I hope she will.
