    When you make it to Maine, you should look up Northern Outdoors, it's right on the AT, and raft the Kennebec, and up by Katahdin, the best rafting on The East Coast, the Penobscot...

    So proud of yall for being spontaneous and taking advantage of the wonders along trail. Most thruhikers won't take a blue Blaze unless it's shelter or water. You have 12 months to complete your thruhiker. Milk it for all it's worth. A once in a lifetime experience. Keep up the awesome!

    The rhythm of your hike really interesting. I love that you take a moment for a side adventure. In all of the videos I have watched, I don't think I have ever seen that white water area shown. Nice.

    So good to see you enjoy some of the sideline treats of the trail. You're making experiences that will live in the attic of memory forever. Never let anyone dissuade you from these extra off-trail jaunts as they are an additional opportunity to let that "inner child" come out from the shackles of the "real world" and discover something at 30 or40 or 50... that you loved at 10.

      @S M Yes. One of the great pleasures on trail for me is to see, particularly in new hikers, how Nature can remove the inhibitions and restraints of society and let one become a child again. That scene always reminds me of Allen's line:
      "Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight,
      Make me a child again just for tonight!"
      I hope Kelly lets that "inner child" out to play as often as she can.

    Great update, would have loved to seen some video of the white water, understand concern over gopro. How is Steph doing? I enjoy canoeing and white water rafting as well. So far, no serious injuries or death but did manage to mangle a canoe (destroyed) and we did lose a friend overboard doing Cat V rapids but we pulled him back in. Enjoying your travels/adventures and fun on the trail!!!

    By the way, dried cherries and dried mango are my favorites... so good!

    Zero Day? Usually means a rest & recovery day. White water rafting most often implies work. Ugh, that 4 letter word again. Advil is a good friend.

    • @kellyhays23
      @kellyhays23  3 роки тому +6

      Dude rafting lasted like 2 hours. It wasn’t even work it was just fun. I took a two hour power nap after and felt like a new person. No need for Advil over here.

    you must have strong legs to be able to run on the trail. Do you sometimes run on the trail while carrying a full pack with food, tent and sleeping bag?

  • @johnjunior6101
    @johnjunior6101 3 роки тому

    I am glad you got to enjoy your day as you stated you needed a break as your body was wrecked. Maybe try not running on trail and let your body heal some more. I am no expert so this is just a suggestion on my part.

    • @kellyhays23
      @kellyhays23  3 роки тому +4

      Thanks! But my body is healed. The surgery is just an excuse at this point. I’m pushing to get stronger everyday. No soft 💩
