    This video gave me my cry count 3 Maddie from watching your AT adventure! Two of your other videos made me cry, but that's quite alright! I'm disabled and some of the views you captured brought me so much peace and joy. I felt there with you, so thank you for making these videos! Lots of love from Colorado!❤

    Thanks Maddie for including us on your journey.
    You might not see it now, but when your 55 ( my age ) and maybe seeing your own kids do things- you’ll realize what a profound impact that doing something so incredibly hard - has on the future of your life.
    Most things you take on - will never be as hard as what you’ve just been through- I’m serious.
    So take a moment to congratulate yourself and realize-you’ve shaped the entire foundation of your life to come. Nice job. You’re a tough soul!!!

You became my favorite ❤️ and I feel like I’m loosing a friend that I have shared experiences with ; I know I just watched & you did all the experiencing. Ha, ha. You are quite special and I hope to see some After the AT Thru Hike vlogs and if you continue to vlog adventures I’m sure I will be watching. Again, Congratulations and thank you you dear wonderful person. ❤ God Bless you & keep you safe. 😊

    Ranger. I finally just finished your trail journey. I’ve been following you since the beginning. I got hooked when I saw you with your dad. I have hiked a bunch of the AT with my daughter. She is in her 50s and I’m in my 70s. She will always be my little girl. This summer I will finish NC and VT and that will be enough for me. I will have section hiked from Springer to the NH border. I’m just a bit to mature now for the last 2 states and that’s definitely ok. Thank you so much for all the enjoyment and entertainment. You are really good at this. And you are an especially delightful young woman. I loved it all. Maybe especially the 25 cries. Like they say, life is much clearer through tears. More honest for sure. I look forward to your next adventure. All the Best to you and Smoke. Lovely couple you are. All-In. (That’s my trail name)

    • @BeerinBeautifulPlaces
      @BeerinBeautifulPlaces  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi All-In! It’s wonderful to hear about your daughter and your section hikes! Thank you for sharing a little of your life with me, and for following along with this big adventure in mine! I’m really glad you enjoy my video!!
      All the best to you,
      Ranger

    Many, many congratulations for making it all the way 🎉 It's been so much fun to follow along and I must admit I'm going to miss your weekly updates from the trail. I'm so glad you met Smoke too as it must've made the end experience so much more enjoyable to share it with someone. Having a spectacular view from the summit of the last (?) mountain top was pretty special.
    Congratulations again Maddie! It's been an incredible journey!

    Well, it's time to celebrate your achievement, and get some much-needed rest and relaxation!

    It's great you made it. I found myself worrying about you, if you were freezing. I think when you get home you need to schedule a physical and a chiropractor appointment. That's alot of time carrying a pack. God bless you Maddie. Thanks for your entertaining us.

    I would wager that you will be back on the AT someday and will even likely spend a night or two on the trail. I have never thru-hiked the AT but over my many years have camped on the AT several times. I see you 20 years from now sitting around the campfire somewhere on the AT with your kids and family telling them about the good old days in 2023 when you hiked the whole trail!

You've brought so many people together and shown us so much beauty in these odd times we're in. You've inspired thousands of people to do better and be out in nature.
