So, on top of overlapping other trail systems, I'm surprised how even the road walks have looked like a green tunnel. Yes, the exposure is coming for sure, but this has certainly made your journey more interesting.
When I started it was before everything had greened up so I’ve been able to fully appreciate the transition. Should be starting to give way to more plains and such before too long I believe
Last time I was on the Mississippi river, there was a beaver that kept smacking the water with its tail all night long. Couldn't get a lick of sleep. I also had a spare blanket hanging out to dry from the previous day. The little bastard chewed two holes in it. Still a good blanket though. I kept using it after the fact 😁
That’s why I keep all my stuff really close to the tent. We have had countless participants get their tracking poles, chewed on by deer and other things because they left them out.
Please, please promise that should you get caught in a sharknato you'll keep the camera rolling. That would be 10 million+ view video for sure. Thanks!
That happens I would have to go full Clickbait. Put taters in the foreground facing away with her sports bra, being blown away by the tornado. Millions of clicks.
While you were under the bridge and taking the shots looking out at the rain did you notice the ripple marks on the slab of stone tin the right center of the shot? Evidence of water currents at the time the rock was deposited millions of years ago. Also, the gentleman you encountered who you thought might be Amish but was driving a tractor might have been Mennonite. they often dress "plainly" but embrace many modern technological advances that the Amish do not.
@@FirstChurchofTheMasochistHikes Mennonites, AFAIK, drive cars. there are other groups of "plain" people and, theologically, anababtists, but the Amish and the Mennonites are the most common and visible.
Also, the guy on the tractor might have been an employee. It is not uncommon for the Amish to hire an "English" (anyone who is non-Amish) to run motorized equipment on their farms.
He had mentioned how they had just relocated so along with all the other signs, I figured he was some sort of Amish adjacent. Like I mentioned I did get a really weird when I mentioned if he had a phone, he could follow my website.
The cabin is so cute. I’m glad you made it there to avoid the storm.
I would bet it was a porcupine chewing on the shelter.
I would say there is a 90% chance you are right.
Well the care taker is watching out for hikers. WHAT A COOL PLACE! Thanks so much Trail angel Tammy.
Day 50. Another great countryside hike. Also nice to see farm fields.
Thanks to both Mike and Tammy for helping you out, although Tammy’s shed looked way more comfortable. What great people!
They were both cool and their own ways but yeah, that little shed was such a nice cozy little stay
Great adventure. Matt! So cool to trail have angels out there willing to help you out! Enjoyed the video! Thanks 👍⛰️🥾
Hey Matt. Glad you had a bridge and a roof when needed.
Really great that you had room when you needed it! Fantastic episode man 👏👏
That hawk sure had a lot to say!!!

I was kayaking in Dallas last weekend and had to use 35 as a shelter 😂 good times
Porcupine would be my guess for chewing
😎✌

youre on the airbnb trail lol
It pays to have a bridge to climb under
New Map!
All the wiggling the trail does through Ohio has meant we’ve really gotten our money out of each one
Mt Horeb? The home of the Mustard Museum! I hope you had the chance to stop!
porcupines chew on that stuff
Hawks keep trying to eat my chickens, so they can go straight to hell

Do they still use the cart and buggy iconography though? I saw that on the barn which is why I thought Amish.
