Thanks again for watching the videos and commenting! The wildflowers on this trail were so beautiful. I really feel they were a highlight of this trip. 🌻🪻🌺
You are a tremendous inspiration man. Just really don't know how else to put it, you inspire me to get out there, go farther, and be better... And i thank you for that sincerely...
Thanks again Walter for watching and your support! You definitely inspire me also with your beautiful videos. I can really learn a thing or two from your editing skills! My laptop is having issues and I had to edit this last video on my I phone. I’m not the most tech savvy and I lost a lot of footage for the last two videos which really bummed me out.
Thanks so much for tagging along with me! I appreciate you watching the videos and commenting! I hope the videos made you feel like you were out hiking the Colorado Trail too.
Thanks John for watching! I enjoyed hiking with you on this trip! I know you suffered an injury out there and I sincerely hope you get back on your feet soon!
Super nice of you for watching the videos and I greatly appreciate the comment too! Best of luck on your thru hike! Are you going to share your journey on a social media platform and if so, let me know!
Such great views all the way up. But what’s up with that narrow awkward walking path? That’d be a rough hike if it was too long like that. Such great scenery everywhere. I love the campsite. It was such a beautiful wilderness area. 👍
@@melanie3400 Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment! My trail name is Pennsylvania Jeff (Penn-J). I got it when I did a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail way back in 2009. (I didn’t do the You Tube thing back then) My fellow travelers thought Pennsylvania Jeff was too many syllables so they shortened it to Penn-J. I was open to a new trail name on this CT thru hike but it didn’t happen. Thanks again for leaving a comment, it means a lot. 🙏
Loved your videos. I am starting trail in a couple of weeks, and though I am a couple of decades older, I found your pace and decisions to stop when you were tired very reassuring. Unlike the younger crowd doing 20+ miles per day, I am in the 10-15 mile class. I am not sure I can eat as many mashed potatoes as you did :) but am curious about how much weight you lost on the trail and how many days is took you to finish. Best of luck on your future hiking trips.
Thanks a lot for watching! I hope it helps you with your Colorado Trail adventure. I used to bang out 20's when I was younger but at 47 years old I'm not letting my stupid ego get me injured. I'm right there with you in the 10 to 15 mile class. I love to hike for so many reasons and banging out more miles than my body can safely handle isn't on of them. Hiking 20 or 30 miles every day is impressive but to quote Teddy Roosevelt "Comparison is the thief of joy" I lost about 15 lbs, I got sunburnt more than I expected, and yes I got tired of mashed potatoes...lol Don't recall how long it took me to finish...5-6 weeks. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos! It means a lot! Best of luck on the CT! Definitely stop and smell the flowers (figuratively and literally) No need to rush it, it's just too beautiful ⛰🌄🗻🏔
@@fivehorizons5295 Thank you! Definitely working on "smelling the roses" I am on no timeline since retirement and need to act accordingly! Hard to get used to after hikes on a work based timeline. Six weeks is what I expect, as I want to have a few zero days in those mountain towns. Thanks for the reply
Enjoyed the videos, thank you for letting us tag along. Those wild flowers were so pretty. The views were great.

I was just looking for this final episode this morning. Thanks for documenting your journey. Really enjoyed tagging along with you via video.

@@fivehorizons5295 yes I do. Hope it is half as well done as yours

Thanks Craig for watching the video and leaving a comment! Yeah, I think one of the most exciting parts of the whole trip were the wilderness areas.
Thanks Jeff, love your videos and this series was beautiful. Most important question: did YOU get a trail name?! :)
