Trust me when I say, I am not judging you on the Dew! As a side bar; both you and Dixie have inspired me to thru hike. Although it will be a few years from now, I've started planning and gathering gear. Thank you for continuing to have us tag along with you.
If you are a thru hiker the worst part of running into a section hiker, like myself, on the trail is we tend to be a little more boisterous at camp, lol! Some of the benefits; I always have extra food to share, especially dessert, have a fire every night to share, and I’ve even packed out trash to help lighten their load! Keep L-I-V-I-N’n
The singing was so awesome! And for some reason I love hearing your footsteps in the woods 😁
My favorite of your videos yet, having just hiked this section myself. Everyone says the views from Mcafee and Tinker are great but they are even better than I expected. Loved the shot of the ridge line from Mcafee to Tinker.
i have 2 years left in the army (british) that will be 24 years service and this is what i am treating myself to when i get out. me, my best mate and 6 months on the trail. BRING IT ON!!!!!
Ps: Congrats to hiker Walmart for hitting 5000 miles! 👍👍
10:16 The bird is a male Eastern Towhee
So glad that you were blessed with a good weather day for macafee knob and tinker cliffs. The rain in the sunset shots only made it more special! The singing was a touching ending to an awesome day! Thanks so much Kelly!
Your showing other hikers with short interviews adds a lot to your splendid videos.
Cool video Kelly! Neet little chit chat with Walmart. Congrats to him. Thanks Kelly for sharing. It is enjoyable.
LOVED this video Kelly!!! I think this is my favorite so far!!! You are a blessing!
Love how you could see the rain in your video of tinker cliffs!! It was absolutely stunning, the sunset and the rain!!
Absolutely awesome Kelly. My favorite video! Thank you again for sharing your journey. Happy trails✌🏼
Sometimes I wonder just how many talents you have. Editing is one for sure. The music you selected for the sunset scene was perfect. Each complimented the other to bring out the best of both. I like that you use music sparingly, but when you do...wow; it's always a perfect fit.
Then there's the interview with Walmart. Interviewing is also something else you're good at. Plus, since you have won the respect of everyone, people will be more likely to let you interview them. Hope you'll do more of that in the future...would love to hear more from Walmart, Grace and Stephanie about how they got into hiking, their connection to nature and how the experience is changing them.
Such incredible scenery! And looks like you had some great weather. 😀
So glad you stuck it out through the rain and gave us that sunset to share with you. Absolutely gorgeous. Even with the big drops. And yes, that will be you one day. Singing to the young ones at camp. That was such a good moment. One for the memory bank for sure. Keep pushing 9L.
That was just awesome….the sunset, the singing….makes me happy!
Wow, that was absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful ending to a beautiful day! Hold these precious memories close to your heart! 🥾 🌅🎶🤣
That was the coolest singing and I love that song! Thank you for getting them to sing. I love your hiking and your videos. Go girl!
Loved the view, and awesome version of Country Roads!!! 🎶🎶 so much fun!!
Great call in slowing down to soak it all in...thank you for sharing your journey. "Inspiration, Move me brightly"
In your videos, any time of the year is great!
You are the trail Queen 👑 congratulations on adding three more crowns to your head 💜
LOVE the raindrops that looked like diamonds falling from the sky and that song was perfect at the end 💜💜💜
Pretty sure this most beatiful video yet !!! Thanks for sharing it. Made my day a better day !
Loved the song at the end and the beautiful views!!! What a lovely day!!
Special day. Breathe in those moments and hold them close. Thx for sharing.
It’s funny how often I see that bird (or it’s cousin) in other through hikers videos at McAfee Knob. The sunset at Tinker Cliffs was pretty. The rain looked like glitter. Maybe it was Mother Nature’s way of congratulating you on finishing the triple 👑! And being serenaded to sleep with ‘Country Roads’, priceless! See you tomorrow! Great video and music today, as always.
Gorgeous Kelly!!! Thank you 😊
Beautiful Scenery and great ending!
So nice to see the world sometimes through someone else’s eyes.... really makes you want to get out of your bubble no matter how nice it is...
I tented at that blue blaze during a winter foggy storm. Heard my MSR stove top off the stone to down below. But it got better, hooked up with Mischief the next morning for the rest of the trip. Thanks for the memories!
Best video yet..
Enjoyed the group singing
Hi Nine Lives! Another great video and day on the trail in VA! Sure wish I was out there hiking. The pretty bird is an Eastern Towhee. Love my birds! 😁 Happy Hiking!
Thanks for the sunset!!! And the singing!!
well done! well done! From Tinker cliffs to the end......awesomeness! good stuff!
Fire in the sky...a remarkable sunset!
Country Roads 1971 John Denver. Came out in April, was a gold record by July was a platinum record by August. If you weren't there you could have no idea what a monster hit the song was. It became John Denver's most requested song. Brought tears to my eyes when you guys sang it.
I didn't listen to John Denver (not into C&W music at the time) but I remember this song. Big, big hit. Made it to the Top 40's.
@@djg5950 It was number two on the Billboard charts all summer 71.
Colorado Rocky Mountain High
Gorgeous sunset on my namesake cliffs. Made me smile ☺. Thanks. Great day! Tinker.👍
The sunset piece was Wonderful. ThankYou!
Best vid yet!! Great job pushing through to see Nature's show! You seem really motivated now. "Seek and ye shall find" the wonders she has to offer!
love that section of the trail, hike it about 3 times a year
#jealous
Amazing journey
Tkx Kelly, beautifull sights....
What a way to end a day❤️
Beautiful Sunset
what a great day....amazing sunset
Marvellous lunch break vid. Thanks pal 🖖
What a great day and fab singing
That’s an Eastern Towhee ❤️
13:01 That view gave me goosebumps too
The end of the video gave me goosebumps.
Tenacity and a bit of grace! What if your story can help someone else? WELL...it does! Keep on truckin...we love it.
Nice work on sunset. Fun afternoon and evening.
It was a pleasure to spend the evening with you!
Born and raised VA girl here and hope you’re enjoying our beautiful state (besides this crazy heat wave)!! I went to college in SW VA, hiked it several times, and still don’t know how to pronounce McAffee’s Knob 😂 So you’re in good company!! Country roads is a classic here…. best of luck on the rest of your journey and time in VA
What a beautiful soul you are Kelly! aka”Nine Lives” Enjoying your vlogs. 🙂
Dang that was awesome!
Gotta set on the edge of the cliff. 😆
Hiker Comradery sounds like the hiker life to me 😍❤
I hiked the 4 miles to mcafee knob last September on a motorcycle trip. That’s what go me
Interested in the AT and watching your through hike. Familiar trail..really enjoyed it and considering hike more AT in the future. I Enjoy your videos. Good luck and take care..
Mcafee Knob is probably the best fb profile pic destination on the AT. Lol
Wow…tinker cliffs. Speechless dude
There's only one thing missing from these trail hikes. The feeling that you might be the first person ever to be tread that earth or see that view.. (Doesn't apply to UA-cam subscribers!).
Omigosh My feet were tingling when you went to the edge of McAfee! Eek! 😂😂
Morning Kelly! I know you post ASAP but let me say what we are all thinking, we missed your videos! This one was just what I needed too. Beautiful beyond words. Sorry about the off trail nonsense putting a damper on your journey. I hope this day brought you some balance. Having too much food is a blessing and a curse, maybe you can share the love? I am sure there are some hikers that need a miracle. I just love this section of trail so much. There is something about it that is just other worldly. Huge thanks to all the trail angels! Your love is felt ❤️ Haha tastes like “sugar” lol I think one soda could actually kill me. I don’t miss sugar at all, especially when there are so many other natural sweeteners out there. So cool to have brands reach out and do what they can to make things right. Big Agnes will always have my respect for the solid they did for me. Support the companies that support hikers and trails people! What a simply perfect edit of an epically perfect moment. IBTAT said some of the most profound words I have ever heard in one of his last videos, and I feel they totally fit this moment:
“If you need much more than that to get you excited about being alive I can’t f’ing help you.”
Being privileged enough to witness anyone realize their dreams, especially someone that has dealt with such adversity in getting there, gets me so excited about being alive I can hardly stand it. Couple that with seeing nearly all the beauty the universe can muster in a single moment and I am sorry, but that kind of power, that amount of love for life can move mountains (or crush miles)! Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well. #giveashit
-Grateful
BEAUTIFUL SUNSET. GLAD IT WAS A GOOD DAY. KEEP GOING. LOVE YOU GUYS. JOANNA CALIFORNIA
Great ending of a lovely day
Good video with lots of great views, a rabbit 🐇, so let's keep on hiking 🚶♀️😀
Singing at the end was priceless…
Love your videos. Now you have a fan from Finland!
Plus me the expatriate, left in '58, born in 49 in Helsinki.
Someone should start a go fund me or some kind of fundraiser for her hospital bill for her surgery! If I knew how I would do it...
If in Waynesboro Thursday, there is concert by the river 6 to 8pm.
Go Kelly!
So glad to see this video I for one have missed you. Thanks for taking us along on your Journey. My 21 year old granddaughter does a lot of hiking here in WV. I have been sending her your video’s and she loves them. Her and I was to do a 10 mile backpack camping trip in Dolly sods here in WV this summer but I hurt my foot Easter weekend and it’s not doing well. That happens when your 66. 😂 Happy Hiking 🥾 🏕
Probably a good thing (not really that you got hurt). I saw that the Dolly Sod Wilderness was super over crowded this year due to relaxed Covid rules. All trails the same. Hopefully, you can heal over the next year and next year it won't be so crowded (hiking) ?
@@djg5950 My granddaughter has hiked it twice this year already. We don’t let the virus stop us. We hope to make it in August.
@@vickifg13 Are restrictions still in place in WV ? Mask requirements and restrictions have been lifted in NH (mid-June).
@@djg5950 no you do not have to wear a mask in WV. 😍😍
@@vickifg13 Things are starting to look normal finally ! Been too long.
Roosters at 4am. Welcome to Catawba. 😆
Thanks for posting. Great shots of the cliffs and music. Imo most beautiful place in the country. And you can say it however you want. Nobody cares and everyone says it different.
Most birds start chirping about an hour before sunrise while it's still dark out. Some birds like Whip-Poor-Wills will call all night. They shut up when the sun starts to rise.
I wouldn’t hang my legs off the edge either. Beautiful Sunset.
Kelly. What's the instrumental song that kicks off at 12:45? Perfect choice. Beautiful and uplifting. You have good taste in music.
Beautiful day. Waiting to see you live. Be well and stay safe.
Did she do it ? Fast moving, severe thunderstorm rolled through where I live yesterday and we lost power for 5 hours. Read from 4:45 pm until 11 pm. No internet, phone service, or AC until after 10:45 pm. I was 85* inside until the power went back on.
@@djg5950 She did it live but the connection was terrible. On and off every 15 seconds.
The trail friendships you made out there really have to boost your confidence and motivation! They seem like awesome people! Great video thanks for sharing! 🤙
The song at the end of the video is nice.
Those hospital bills are negotiable FYI. Call and make them an offer with what you can afford.
I thought Obamacare fixed all that
aww man i love mountain dew
Ya gotta love Country Roads. WV boy here.
Rooster crow's! It's called Sparrows fart in the UK but Rooster roostering work too.🐓🐓
The bird is I think an Eastern Towhee (probably spelled wrong) a kind of sparrow.
Renamed Eastern Towhee (correct spelling). Used to be called a Rufous Sided Towhee.
Beautiful views! Great to see you soaking it all up! You should do a gofundme or a livestream to help raise money for your hospital bill. I would donate! It would be our way to do trail magic when we don’t live anywhere near the AT!
Kelly, please put that Tinker Cliffs music in every video! With a sunset or otherwise..
Thanks, I listened to it several times.
Funny story about that bird. Back before the 1980's it was called a Rufous Sided Towhee. I used to walk in the woods and meadows and study the wildlife (birds and insects) and search for new flowers when I was growing up. One day I kept hearing this rustling in the underbrush and noticed a bird "kicking" the leaves. Looked it up in the bird book and found out it was a Towhee. They renamed it an Eastern Towhee. Later on Charles Shultz made a cartoon of Snoopy kicking the leaves and when asked what he was doing he said that he was pretending to be a Towhee. Apparently they kick the leaves looking for worms and insects.
Awesome seeing you trek thru my neck of the woods! Cool little Towhee bird too. Keep on Truckin’!!!
Eastern towhee bird ,
Hey this is david , I met u at that restaurant, it was fun to meet a tuber that I have been following , always wanted to do that ,the area where u are is my favorite, love the va tripple crown loop , catch u later on future videos , be safe , oh sorry I missed the live stream, wanted to , maybe next time
1/3 of the way there!
Amazing views and what a beautiful ending to a beautiful day. An amazing sunset and beautiful singing with friends.
The story you are telling through these vlogs is so interesting. How do you do that? Best regards. Peace.
5:30 That is exactly the look on my face when I drink soda. And the reason I don't drink it (will do rootbeer occasionally if really thirsty). I don't like the carbonation nor the taste. After the first swallow I burp.
Birds a tohee .... I talk to my dog and I literally blurted out to her " Kelly posted " you were at the edge of that outcrop ? Yikes ! You are intrepid ... I laughed out loud about the mountain dew .... I'm 64 so I remember when it came out.... Take care ...happy trails ....
Eastern Towhee ...is the specific name of the bird ...
The views on today's video are awesome!!
Take me home, country roooaads, to the place, I beloonnng ( had to join in with yall )
Rock on Walmart
Keep on trucking
The bird is a Rufus Sided Towhee.
Broke foot in Georgia, here again, this one made me cry! Happy tears, along with a few that were melancholy, I REALLY want to get back out there!
