Welcome to VA. May the sun be at your back and the rain storms stop at the ridge over yonder while you pass though. Y'all are a blast to follow, thanks for sharing your hike.
Big fan of you guys and try to watch your vids as soon as possible after you post. It’s obvious to me that you DO know what you’re doing out there and bar any unforeseen incidents I have all confidence that I’ll see you guys in a couple of months as you ascend Katahdin! You guys continue to inspire me and keep my dream alive to thru hike the CT this July and the AT next year. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thank you! We really appreciate the kind words and we’re so glad to have you following along. Happy trails on the CT and the AT next year. I hope we can help you somehow as you prepare for your journey.
Love that you stayed at the Dancing Bear! Elizabeth and Pat are great. We are avid Va Creeper cyclists (and hike, too) and stay there all the time. Hope to run into you at trail days. Enjoy following your journey. You two will definitely make it
Bravo to another state border across crossed. You Tube closed caption works great. It can decipher a whisper in the wind. Oddly, sometimes words come out translated as profanity. Funny at times. I applaud your willingness to take on such a formidable challenge. The credit goes to the person who is actually in the arena; who strives valiantly with great enthusiasm and great devotion. In the end, your place will never be with the cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat. Thanks for the update. Wishing you safe passage and good fortune. Happy Trails!
Ignore those others. What you are doing hiking the AT is amazing! I made it to Damascus before fracturing my ankle several years ago. So, keep the faith, stay safe and will continue following you on TH-cam. You are amazing!
Congratulations on reaching Virginia. Glad you were able to get things done and enjoy Damascus. Don't worry about the trolls and their shenanigans. Trust and believe that we've got your back. Keep shining bright. You've got this.
We are big fans of ya’ll! We saw when you pinned the map! We are also from Houma, La! Keep hiking! Our dream is to hike it! We doing sections of it for now!
Congratulations 🎉on arriving in Virginia! You both are hiking your own hike (thats the saying isn’t it?) and from what I see, you’re doing amazing and having a great time doing it! I’ve never hiked like you both are BUT maybe one day❤ Keeo being awesome and looking forward to watching more of your adventures ❤ 🥾
Chuck, I might have hiked faster to keep up if I'd known about this border beer thing. That's not true, i liked my zeros too much! 😊 But seriously, have you done this the whole time??? I'm only really watching now that I'm home and can *only* watch, but damn it that's a great tradition!
Haha, well folks, here he is, the much talked about, much loved River! Yep, I’ve done it the whole time, but like Yard Sale said, I saved the NC/TN beer for the final crossing. It’ll be a minute before I get to do it again. Cheers! 🍻
Lol Papa! This is a family channel! 😂 just kidding. If this heat keeps ratcheting up like it’s been doing I might be hiking naked way before June 20th!! Yeah, that dude was a clown.
Well, you two prove that there is a troll for everyone! Why can't they just join a troll community and only hang out with fellow trolls? I think you two are amazing and fun and funny, and I will be shocked if you 2 don't make it all the way, barring something unforseen. And I'm looking forward to following you. Oh, and welcome to Virginia, my home state!
lol maybe your troll was the same one I had. Said troll told me that I wouldn’t finish because my knee ankle was off and he was a professional hiker and knows these things. My least favorite part of the day is blowing up my air mattress. I think at some point I’ll invest in a little pump as well. Let me know if it’s been worth it!
I have 3 flextail pumps and they are amazing! Takes about a minute to blow up a mattress. I use mine every night because I love the light on it. My kids hang them from their bunks to read. Can blow up a mattress many times before it has to be recharged. If you use the light that uses a lot of battery, but as a pump alone it could probably blow up a mattress 10-15 times.
Aww, there are always trolls out there. You dealt with that perfectly! With both of your positive energies, I’ve no doubt you’ll easily make it all the way.
I was going to ask you if you were going to try and go to Trail Days. I guess you are back tracking to do that. It should be fun. Ignore the stupid comments from other people.
Welcome to VA. May the sun be at your back and the rain storms stop at the ridge over yonder while you pass though. Y'all are a blast to follow, thanks for sharing your hike.
We’ve been getting absolutely drenched the past few days but still loving VA so far haha
Hey Mark! Haha, well, the sun was on our back, now the rain is drenching us. But hey, no pain, no rain, no Maine right?
@@heather__hikes We've been getting lots of forecast for rain in this part of VA but looks like it must be following the nobo hikers south of us.
@@charlesreed9155 lol, y'all need to get off that ridge "over yonder", and you're right, wouldn't be the AT without the rain and pain.
Congrats on making Virginia. Enjoying your videos.
Thank you!
Thanks Linda!
Congratulations on making it to Virginia! I always knew you would!!
Thanks Celena! 💪🏽
Really enjoying your videos and journey. I’ve watched a lot of AT hiker journeys over the last few years and can tell you’re going to make it.
Aw, thank you!
Thank you brother! We really appreciate the follow and the encouragement.

Thank you so much! Enjoy the CT! It’s a dream of mine to do that one as well 🙂

It was a great stay for sure!
Oh now way! The Creeper Trail looked really cool. We might have to come back and do that soon. If you see us at Trail Days, please come say hey!

Thanks Pete. That quote was inscribed on the wall in my last Jiu-Jitsu gym. It’s near and dear to my heart.

Thank you so much for the kind words and much needed encouragement!

Keep shining bright. You've got this.
Thanks Amy! That’s what I told her, don’t worry about the trolls. Just appreciate the supporters like you who’ve been so kind and encouraging!
We are big fans of ya’ll! We saw when you pinned the map! We are also from Houma, La! Keep hiking! Our dream is to hike it! We doing sections of it for now!

He has been doing it the whole time! With the exception of the zig zaggy NC/TN border lol
Haha, well folks, here he is, the much talked about, much loved River! Yep, I’ve done it the whole time, but like Yard Sale said, I saved the NC/TN beer for the final crossing. It’ll be a minute before I get to do it again. Cheers! 🍻
First day of Summer, June 20th, is Hike Naked Day 😁 That guy that chastised you has probably never hiked a mile.
He claimed he was a “double triple crowner” 🤣🤣🤣

Excited to be here! Chuck is from VA as well!
I knew there was something very cool about him! Aren't all us Virginians cool? Need to think about that.

That flextail pump was the best $50 I’ve spent so far! Definitely recommend!

🎉 Congrats on another state down🎉
💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Thanks! Each new milestone really feels like a bigger and bigger achievement.
Just curious, what sound did that tree limb above your tent make??? I was more impressed with that description than your Reba sing-a-long lol.
I don’t have an angelic singing voice that’s for sure 🤣
😂
I was going to ask you if you were going to try and go to Trail Days. I guess you are back tracking to do that. It should be fun. Ignore the stupid comments from other people.
We’re definitely heading back for Trail Days. 😊
Don’t let the internet trolls get to you!!!
