Lovely scenery and critters today! I used to enjoy hiking and camping but I'm old enough now that I'm content just to watch others do it, lol. Thanks for your channel!
Mr.and Mrs.Masochist, whoa take time for a zero day soon...this trail truly is not like any other. Beautiful butterfly 🦋,butterfly bush, turtles and shades of gradient water, scenic campsites and that WOW flannel nightwear sleeping suit- bag.You are so Mod !
The top-of-foot swelling and mild-moderate pain that improved was probably a stress fracture of the metatarsal (foot bone). Usually want to decrease activity to let them heal, but the foot is a pretty adaptive area. Hope it got better.
Glad for a taters Tuesday and awesome wildlife. But I think wild man Matt needs overdue break, hope you get one tomorrow as planned. Hike on to San Francisco.
Don’t worry about the baby bird. It’s parents were following it around and feeding it. That’s how it works. That’s why you don’t try and “save” them…just leave them alone and their parents will make sure they’re fine. I promise.
We haven’t been doing that much since we’re generally drinking less these days. If I’m going to splurge and have wine I’d much rather be doing our favorite Apothic Red :)

Thanks for sharing these beautiful creatures--especially the butterflies--and lovely scenery!

I don’t think Jen knows what a great narrator she is ❤
The mud must have added a lot of extra effort to the hike but you guys are doing great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. ✌🏻👊🏼
Here's a Steven Wright joke just for you guys:
"Everywhere is within walking distance...if you have the time."
Day 76. Mud hike. Jen has great smile!

The camera lingering on those big vortex river rocks was much appreciated. A kind of stillness at the center of the rush to Colorado.

Always look forward to “Taters Tuesday” 🎉
It would add a little weight but I always think you need a lint roller to grab those little ticks ! Matt looks a cranky time for a zero day 🙂
Great Taters Tuesday!! I've been watching long enough to know Matt probably needs a zero.
Matt Passes out:
Taters: "Okay... Perhaps it's time for a zero"

A baby bird at that stage is called a fledgling.
@@rkatufus yeah, I know.
Team Jen!
Mud, yes, but frogs and turtles too! Yin and yang, etc. Good day and tomorrow, cleanup! Hike on! Tortoise
Taters: Frogs! Mushrooms! Clean water!
Maso: One giant mud bog filled with spiders
Selsun blue shampoo can sometimes help for that rash
Horses really make a muddy mess of the trail. 😎✌
Hey Y'all. And Matt, cuddle properly man!
uhh i like the new end card. but now i'm back to column 2 - dang it. :D
I actually commented to Jen that that was going to be a thing people would notice and she did not believe me :)
@@FirstChurchofTheMasochistHikes always happy to help proving a point ✌️
You guys referenced Garfunkel and Oates! And Matt has referenced Warren Zevon a couple of times. You are definitely my people.
Great video, I watch the Hiking with Shawn UA-cam channel he has videos of most of the great spots in southern Illinois.
are you two doing "Hiker wine" on this trip??? Whenever I buy wine it's Bandit in a box
for friends now.

Does Jenn’s giggle affect your daily mileage and does it draw the Ticks in?😅
whats the over under on ticks that have succesfully fed on you and lived to tell the story. 3.5?
Crawfish
Crawfish, crayfish, crawdads, mudbugs, they have many names!
@@ayyy5372 But with that pronunciation you know that she never ate one
@@michaelknepler857 she's a vegetarian, so most likely not. I personally love them, suck the heads and all!
We start Taters Tuesday with Jen looking like PaRappa the Rapper
😂😂😂 so how many times did Taters lose her shoes 😂😂😂
Just so you know, that’s not mud you are walking through. I call it shud. A combination of horse s&@t and mud
Perhaps the birds didn't die... Maybe they were just hot and gave up all their feathers... Ever think of that?
Silly Comment! (Just holding up tradition)
we were all thinkin it. Someone had to say it.
