    So thrilled the shoes work! Hope some of the cooling cloths met your approval. If not, I’ll send you darker ones lol! Keep going and when a new pair of shoes is needed, I’ll get them and send to you. And o, I’ll buy you an ice cream too! And it was amazing to see your smile and chuckle at the end of this video! I can see in your face that your mental load is lightening!!Nature, fortitude and integrity do that - Thanks for inspiring me! ✌🏻

You inspire me to fight thru all my demons and find a reason to carry on daily as well. We all suffer from depression/anxiety/sickness we never speak of, and seeing you smile and continue gives me strength beyond belief. Trust in the journey and it will take you to places you’ve never imagined. God bless and safe travels brother!

Rob, there is so much material (history, scenery) to savour/film/experience in each place, that is all content, that's the gold. Not sure if you have a deadline to get to FL but as a viewer I say take your time. And I really enjoy your stories of the people you meet and the places you stay. Glad you are beginning to enjoy the journey and shake off the cobwebs. God bless.

    Loved seeing a little bit of West Virginia....my home state! 😊
    Can't wait to see you go through Virginia.
    Moved to Virginia with my family when I was 13, from West Virginia, and lived there until 2017, ( many years later) after my Mom passed away, and I had to move to Illinois to be near my son.
    Ugh. I don't like Illinois, at least not where I live, and it just isn't home to me.
    Wish I could go back to either Virginia or West Virginia, but no immediate family is left there now, as they were all called home over the years, and my health is not that good at my age....but maybe someday I can return to one or the other state to live out my last days, as either is where my heart always is.
    You're showing us some beautiful scenery, and so many of us are rooting for you, and following you on your journey, and sending prayers every day and night. 😊🙏

    Thanks for sharing! I'm thoroughly enjoying your journey! I'm a Marylander and hoped to see a bit of Maryland haha! I LOVE Harper's Ferry and spent many days there growing up on the Maryland side of the river only a half hour away.
    Good luck to you the rest of the way!!
