    Tree falling - happened to me in the Adirondacks. Giant tree in front of us cracked like thunder and came crashing down - didn't hit the trail but scared the bleep out of us for a minute or two. Mountain weather? Nuthin' you can do about it, except endure it and push through. Looking forward to the Hundred Mile Wilderness video, as well as Katahdin. Be well, stay safe.

    Wow. That looked sketchy! Nice job traversing the terrain in that weather! Watching you helps me know that there will be scary times, but I can do it, too. I just hope I’m able to balance the risk vs reward ratio well.

    Can't believe the weather up on those mountains! Sucks for you two for having to hike in it. Sucks for all of us that there were no views to be seen due to the clouds. Thankful for you two for braving the elements and bringing us along to watch in your videos!! Stay safe out there.

    Stella & Lefty both of you are doing incredibly well considering the weather conditions and a tree falling right after you walked past it, then comment like it is no big deal made me gasp. They are called widow makers for good reason. Both of you are proving yourselves to be seasoned hikers knowing when to layer up. I've seen more people try to do the same thing wearing shorts and a T shirt than I care to remember. Great Job!

    That was amazing video Leffe took of you walking on that 4,000 footer ridge in the wind and freezing rain. Respect to the stamina, persistence and focus it must have required to get through that ridge section. Good you have a warm place to stay for a few nights during this challenging section.

    I am sorry that your Bigelow day was overcast. The views up there are gorgeous. Also, did you see any Canada Jays? They will land in your hand if you put food in it. They probably stalked you waiting for a landing pad. They are very active in the cols up there.

  • @popeyehikestheappalachiant2699

    For me, the Bigelows was my hardest day on trail. Took so long, to get to the top, then having to keep going to find a place to tent. You made it look easy. To be young again. 😁
