In Maine most is off the major highways but there is some route 1 areas and it’s nerve racking.

Very cool indeed. Don't take for granted our greenways, trails, parks, etc in the Triangle. They're wonderful resources which even "outsiders" appreciate.

4 billion? Really...

She is seriously underweight. but i guess that is the point in distance running. yikes…😮

1, 2 & 3 ❤

What would you recommend for maps for the road parts ? Thanks for sharing the videos

Ein langer Weg von Wolfsburg nach Hamburg und die USA. Du bist eine beeindruckende Person. Und dann diese Erfahrung...zusammen mit Murf. Zwei coole Typen on the road😂🎉

I live closer towards the Richmond, colonial heights, Petersburg section of the Fall trail and I can not WAIT until it is all connected. I have to drive 30 min to enjoy the richmond section because it all highway between me and the longer more open more beautiful parts of the trails. I would love to start at Petersburg and be able to stay on my bike or hike all the way to richmond to enjoy a meal and come back in the same day. Let alone bike as far as I can and be able to stay overnight somewhere bike friendly! Take a shower stretch and bike back home! wow!

Margaret is the best

Regina is awesome. Great video!

Thank you Brent…. After watching a number of videos on the safety aspect of the East Coast Greenway trail, I have decided to pick up an Amtrak train in Jacksonville to Alexandria, VA. Then continue on - my destination being Bar Harbor, Me. I will be taking a ferry from there to Nova Scotia.

Its not helping, some sections are taking up to a decade to complete.

Awesome journey!

Beautifully done. Inspirational

Awesome video! Congrats to Grace, Matt, Nemo and Foxy. So amazing to hear about the great work of ECGA to build this network!

I was blessed to meet Matt, Grace, Nemo, Foxy and Grace's parents on Key Haven, Florida, just before there final reach to the Southernmost Point. They are incredible and I'll continue to follow as long as their adventures continue

I watched your progress daily! Loved every minute! This video is wonderful!❤❤❤

I have followed Matt and Grace from the very beginning of their first journey. Tiktok was where I found them. Being an avid hiker that advocates, I salute them on all that they are doing to draw awareness to a charity of choice. Beautiful video. Keep going 🥾🥾

I started following you on this journey about a week into it. I would check on your IG daily to see your progress. I loved the interactions you had with us when you did some Q & A sessions. If I wasn't as old as I am, I would love to have walked a great distance like you did. It was sad to see Timmy go but he was really getting to be. pain. I loved watching the trail from Monkey's point of view and enjoyed seeing Nemo's glare when you told her to sit in the cart when he had the foot issue. I travel the east coast often and in the past two months I drove from NJ to Miami. It was fun to see the same things you pointed out on your walks. (The very narrow 17S highways between Myrtle Beach SC and Charleston SC. The bridges with construction leaving you no where to safely walk. Miami, where there the ECG seems to simply disappear and the area after where alligators lurk!. Are you able to have someone create/edit your IG posts into one long video? They were very entertaining. Looking forward to watching you gut the bus-hopefully some day we will meet.

What a great video! So awed by Matt and Grace. Such an inspiration to so many!❤️

Wonderful journey, love the dogs and the little Yorkie captain's platform!

Wow this is incredible! 💜🙏🏻✨Congratulations 🎉

Nice. I hope to see more artwork installed along the greenway as it is being completed.

Can't tell you how excited I am about that bridge over the Patuxent River. I've biked straight up Route 1 from D.C. to Baltimore a couple of times because there wasn't really an obvious better way to go, and it was... not super fun.

Wasn't the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway Trail (VA) also designated in 2023?

Great update on the trail in Philly - thanks Daniel! Would to attend the swing bridge ribbon cutting when ready

I love that the East Coast Greenway and Adventure Cycling are partnering on projects. Strong work!

I think selling a mobile app version would make it more accessible as well as generate some revenue.

I want to do the East Coast Greenway one day!

🎉🎉

Thank you for working on this project. I know it will be spectacular when it's all done.

Awesome 🎉

Good review, good communication skills.

I truly hope to see you on the greenway. Maybe a maine to florida trip hit me up🤑

I do not ride without my tunes . I ride and dance the whole time. ❤😂

any plans for highway 17 through myrtle beach to past charleston? It can get kind of sketch on 17 especially in charleston

This trail reminds me of the Appalachian Trail. We need the ECG to become a part of the Federal system and then maybe we can actually see something get done on it. In its current state I tell people to avoid it at all cost. Just not worth risking your life on. Good luck with it.

When my 15 year old son and I rode from FL to NY in 2013 we abandoned the ECG and passed through Conway, SC on the way west to Route 301 north. From 301 we cut over to the Jamestown Scotland Ferry to get into Williamsburg, VA. I used 301 back in 1986 and it was still a good way to go north all those years later. I'd use it again... With in excess of 8,600 miles of self supported touring and 80K+ of cycling behind me I know when it's not worth the risk... Route 301 is safer as the bulk of the N/S traffic is on I-95 and you miss the beach traffic and Route 17 construction and poor shoulder. We also happened to get dead ended trying to leave FL and go to Kingsland, GA. DOT closed the St. Mary's River turn bridge for repairs without notifying ECG or Adventure Cycling Association so no detour info was available from either. I notified ECG and happened to meet the owner of the bicycle shop in St. Mary's... he stopped when he saw us on the side of 17 looking at maps. He worked with ECG as a volunteer and wasn't aware of the closure either... He offered to come get us the next day and bring us around I-95 but we decided to go west to the next bridge near Folkston... my son wanted to see a wild alligator at the Okefenokee wildlife refuge! We went back east to see places like Brunswick, Savannah, and Charleston. If I knew then what I learned later we would have gone over to 301 after Charleston to get away from the beach traffic. God's speed in closing the gaps in the off-road route!

As a resident of the ECG and an avid WarmShowers host, I can’t even begin to tell you the horror stories my guests have shared about the GA/SC segments. I’m glad to hear they are at least attempting to make changes necessary, but it is frustrating when things move at the speed of government. Keep fighting the good fight. It’s worth it.

As much as I want to the ECG to succeed, I think it is HIGHLY irresponsible of you to promote passage on the so-called "high stress" sections of the route without mentioning the tragic death of Kristopher Cotton, who was struck and killed on the South Carolina route. Yes, we all want a greenway from Maine to Florida, but South Carolina as a whole is simply not ready for prime time. Until South Carolina is fixed, there really is no point of biking/walking this route, that is, unless you are current on your life insurance policy.

Yo, you uploaded splendid footage! talk to you soon~✨

Thank you for all the great work that the staff and volunteers of the ECG do to bring the greenway to completion.

My property runs right along the trail in Columbia Maine and yes the trails are beat up from the four wheelers, it was like riding on beach sand on my bicycle this past summer

Believe it or not I'm on that trail right now in Wilmington South Carolina. I took the fairy over this way earlier today. _____Thanks for all you do, it made my trip enjoyable. I've been on the road 20 days on a bicycle, hotel 🏨 jumping.

Your channel is a shining example of what can be accomplished with passion and hard work, thank you for being an inspiration.

Sorry about your neck injury my friend, I am currently on the East Coast Greenway right now. Been hotel hopping for over 20 days.

Congress is sending billions overseas. How much does the Greenway need to be completed?

Great video, but I think you're underselling the benefits of being in nature vs. in traffic... studies show improved mood, memory, focus, creativity; reduction in mental illness, improved self-esteem, decreased blood pressure, improved social skills, better immune system; not to mention treatment for PTSD, asthma, diabetes, and even cancer.

there you go! thank god!

Great video, hope that progress can continue on this very worthwhile effort!
