Even in the pouring rain you took the time to film wild flowers, little animals and other critters. Also walked 14 miles! 😊You two ROCK! 👍. Good night bears 🙏🥾🇺🇸👍🏕️🧗♀️Stay safe & hike on!
Do you remember the story in the OT of Moses when Aaron and Hur held his arms up because he was so tired? Well, think of all of us holding you two up in our prayers. You, Jesus, and all of us behind you have this!!
Definitely a hard day. Can't imagine being out in the open during that bad weather. So glad you're both ok and that Elle was there to give cuddles. Happy you got free shuttle service and made a new hiking buddy. Impressed that at the end of a hard day, LB still remembered fondly the variety of animals she'd seen. Y'all have such good attitudes, you're an inspiration. ♥️♥️♥️
MB, I think LB's real character builder was when you mentioned spam and jam. The look on her face was priceless. "I tried folks. But she just couldn't help herself."😂
I wish I could actually hug you because you are doing so incredibly well in spite of the tough days. Over 3500 people are watching and sending loving thoughts to you. Snuggling up in your tent can be the best part of the day. Love and (virtual) hugs to you both. R. ❤❤
Ya’ll are doing great! This verse came to mind while watching. “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.” (Psalm 3:3)
Another awesome video! Wow, 14 miles; 650 miles in; over 9,000 subscribers; and God kept you safe in the storm. Thank you for posting. May God continue to keep and bless you both!
I have been following you two precious since your day one, with that on my mind and heart that I’ll be doing it some day soon. I pray for your safety and an amazing rest of the way. You are the best inspiration you say it like it is.
I’m so proud of you two…. At my age, what I wouldn’t give for Lil Bear’s wonderment. It’s all the beauty, wildness, amazement, flora and fauna… just watching your videos helps me proceed with a better attitude.. lol..Thank you both. While, in adulthood, we can get barred down in illness and other stuff… MAN…a shot of that wonderment could heal this world. Geez.. sorry about that… woke up feeling melancholy.. God bless and keep you and yours’ at home! Poles safely down!!✌️🙂❤️🙏🏼
I am SO enjoying your journey! 🌻I miss the trail, and your videos help me to reminisce. You both are awesome human beings! It's been neat to watch Little Bear become more and more confident in her surroundings and comfortable talking on the camera! You are a great Mama Bear to not only Little Bear but your whole family, they are very fortunate to have you! Even though some days are harder than others, they are all worth it. Keep enjoying every step! 🦋 The eastern Red Eft (red-spotted) Newts really come out when it rains, its fun to past the time by counting how many in a day you see! You will be surprised! 🦎
I can't believe it has already been 69 days. For more than two months I have been following your progress and watching you story is part of my routine now. I really appreciate your positive outlook on your journey. Thank you for sharing with us all!
I'm sorry but when you were talking about how miserable your day was Little Bear looked like she wanted to burst out in laughter. lol. When you said the day was quite miserable and she said it wasn't that bad was the start of the laughter for me. Kids will always bring you up when you're down.
Such a contrast from walking beside the highways to walking in the deep woods. The woods and their treasures (even the rain) are so soothing in the videos. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Hike On and be safe!!
MB wasn't letting go of Ellie yet. You looked really comfortable all cuddled up to Ellie and LB. Congratulations, LB & MB. You persevered through a tough and scary day. Walking through the open area in a thunderstorm seemed too scary for me. Found myself praying for you as I watched, even though I knew it was in the past. Your filming made it very real to me. Ya'll are doing great. You show the trail and your experience as it really is. Good job. Take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Not a health food exactly, but FRITOS--160 calories per oz., 10 grams of fat, 2 grams of protien, 170 milligrams of sodium. A real calorie wallop . Pre-crunch to save room in pack. I scarf them all day and add to everything. Even Raman. Just something to consider. High calorie, low weight. Thanks Mike Clelland!
Good morning! 😊 I am so grateful you made it to your campsite safely! I was nervous just watching when you were walking up on that open mountain and you said there was 4 hours of rain, lightening and thunder 😬 I was definitely praying for you both!! ❤❤ Ellie knew Mamma needed comforting after all that. I am sure her main concern (as always) is Little Bears safety! I can't imagine the relief you must have felt getting to camp! You both are amazing! ❤❤
Thunderstorms are my kryptonite. I greatly admire your strength and perseverance pushing through that. 💪 You holding the eft was beyond cute MB. 😊 18:32
The purple flower at 12:28 (after dames rocket) is spiderwort. MB your facial expressions today said it all…tough tough day, but you persevered! You and LB are accomplishing great things every day that most don’t do in a lifetime! I continue to pray for your safety…enjoy your journey!
You guys are so strong hiking through that storm! I probably would have run straight to that shelter as soon as I saw those storm clouds! I’m a wimp🤣🤣🤣
VERY NICE VIEWS!! LOTS OF RAIN. SALAMANDER. TRAIL FRIEND SMILEY. RABBIT, DEER, AND TOADS. CHEESE FISH AND MOSQUITO'S. JUST REMEMBER UMBRELLAS ARE LIGHTENING RODS IN OPEN FIELDS. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!😊
You had some nice views. You see beautiful views that a lot of us will never see. Thanks for letting us go a long. Hope you get some good rest. Safe travels.
Those little wild strawberries literally taste like nothing. No flavor at all. I tried them as a kid and it was a huge disappointment. So yeah, pretty good decision to leave them alone 😂. Love the little red efts. They are so cute! Happy trekking! 🥾
What a day! It's difficult hiking in that! But then the little red salamander things come out (salamander or newt? 🤔) and they're so cute! 🥰 Glad you got to campe and were able to getbset up and have your dinner without rain. And you met a new friend! 😁
Even the stormy days bring sunshine and rainbows.. you're knocking off those Virginia miles. You'll be at Harper's Ferry before you know it! Keep smiling Bears..you are both a huge inspiration. Keep getting those calories in and hydrate, hydrate! 👍
Glad you made it to camp and was dry! Those thunderstorms in open areas or above tree line are scary 😱 by the way those orange lizards 🦎 are eastern orange newts and the are salamanders! They also happen to be poisonous, so if you pick the up make sure to wash hands! The toxins only work if ingested or you have a cut! Just for info! I love salamanders 🦎 I picked them up too! 😊 hope tomorrow is a good day 🙏🏼
19:27 Little Bear’s look when Mama Bear said she was gonna put fig jam on top of spam and mashed potatoes. 😂😂😂 She’s thinking, “That’s it. The heat and humidity have gotten to her. She’s finally lost it.”
My very first backpacking adventure was on that ridge. 2001... One foot in Vuh Ginia the other in West Vuh Ginia with a beautiful view of the Cumberland gap...I learned early that the richness of life is found in adventure. Adventure calls on all the faculties of mind and spirit. It develops self-reliance and independence. Life then teems with excitement. But man is not ready for adventure unless he is rid of fear. For fear confines him and limits his scope. He stays tethered by strings of doubt and indecision and has only a small and narrow world to explore. - WILLIAM O. DOUGLAS, Of Men and Mountains, 1950
I just recently started watching. But if you aren't already doing this then you should consider adding mayonnaise packets to meals. Easy lightweight calories. Also it would be easy to keep such a positive attitude if I new more people with little bears positivity. You're a great team. Virginia can be a rough state to make it through. But i know y'all got this. Happy trails.
@@wildflowersadventures no problem. Virginia, West Virginia and western Maryland are my family's go to spots for camping. We go 2 or 3 times a year. Y'all have some amazing trails coming up. Lots of great views with a lot of historical stuff in the area. Can't wait to go back in the fall. Happy trails.
MB and LB. I love watching your teamwork and respect for each other. I hiked the PCT several years ago at the age of 56. I’m cheering you ladies on! Mama Bear, special props to you. I’ve never had to carry extra weight for another hiker and it must be really difficult at times. Mom’s rock! Happy trails to you both❤.~ Pothole😂
Don’t know if I would have been hiking on top of a mountain in a field with a thunderstorm while holding an umbrella, but that’s just the PaPa coming out of me.
A bummer day but that’s trail life and you both embraced it! At the end you both looked tired and we’re glad that you both are safe and comfortable. Love ❤and light🌅 to you both! 🐱🧸🐻🥾⛰️👍
My favorite flowers! Such beauty in the wildlife. That rain sounded like hail. Glad you had the umbrellas. A few I follow sent umbrellas home but I think I’d have kept mine.
Hey Mama and Little Bear! Just wanted y’all to know that I will be preaching this morning at the campground at Oconee State Park. I was watching your Foothills Trail hikes this morning. Oconee State Park is about 8 miles from my home. I would absolutely love to meet you and your family one of these days!!
Newts come out more after the rain. Read somewhere to always wash hands after touching them. Prayer you have an easier day this one seem like your toughest day mama bear.
You bears are amazing! Little bear has the heart of a thru hiker, grateful, cheerful, rolls with the punches. Good job Mama bear on raising a girl with fine character. I could see her having her own channel as she triple crowns some day (maybe you will join her Mama bear 😊)
Today’s video certainly did look like a challenging day. Glad you finally made it to camp safe and sound. Did you ever find out what that testing area was for? Safe hiking ❤❤❤
When I was a kid my mom told us kids the wild strawberries were for snakes. So.... guess what we stayed away from them, because we were all terrified of snakes. When I see the wild strawberries now I just laugh out loud. Mama bear - I know you're trying, but I have noticed from when you first started until now you have lost weight. I hope that you get those calories in and put the weight back on. Mama Bear I think you have a pretty face and I love your hair and MB you look so cute with Ellie. To my favorite person - Little Bear you are a sweet soul and I enjoy watching you and the many cute faces that you do on camera. See you on day 70.
Hi Bears, enjoy watching your AT journey and hearing your daily reflections (highlight & character building moments). Question: have insects, ticks, mice or bears ever been an issue during your hike? If so, what plan have you put in place to manage each of them?
I would love to give you suggestions in food but i lost about 50 lbs on my hike so... lol my 2 favorite lunches were uncrustables and sandwiches. Sandwich thins, bagel thins, or bagels for bread, salami or peperoni, cheese, mayo packets, sometimes carried out spinach to add, once carried a tub of cream cheese. I had a "chip bag" large ziplock where i just added something to it. Fritos, cheetos and veggie straws held up well. I found it good for my soul to eat "real" fresh food at lunch. I liked mini muffins for breakfast. Bulky but light. Also had breakfast essentials in the morning with coffee. That is the onky thing i had every day and didnt get sick of! Try adding olive oil, mayo or butter also.
If you want to greatly reduce the chances of ticks get some perfume and basically take a bath in it I don't know what it is in the perfume or colone for men or what it does to them but they hate it
That must have been scary hiking in the lightning and thunderstorm, but you guys persevered and did it! That red eft lizard was so cute! It seems like after it rains, they come out? Prayers for a continued safe journey! 🙏
Shame to walk in the rain for three hours. Some days no views and you just walk. Luke you say tomorrow is a new day. I did look at the video where your off trail. I want to catch back up ❤
I love watching you guys. It is part of my routine now to watch you and you live vicariously through your trip on the Appalachian Trail. My husband has done over half of the Appalachian Trail. I have done parts of that with him. I think he still would like to finish, but I am good to watch you guys do it now. I still love hiking. I just don’t like staying out there at night.have you encountered any bears along your way?
Also, thank you so much for being a Christian witness as you are walking the trail. It is so inspiring. Little bear is amazing with her attitude. We should all be that lucky to have children like her. You have done a great job as a parent and it is obvious.
The flower you saw is called dames rocket. Many people think it’s flox . Flox has five petals while dames has only four. Unfortunately mustard garlic is taking over. Very sad
I haven’t heard you talk about your food containers lately. Are you using bear canisters and are you leaving them away from your tent at night. Stick the Eagle (another You Tuber), came across a large bear directly on the trail recently. He was either in New York or Connecticut.
You know, i think you have been remarkably restrained in your use of the M word (miserable). Every summer as temps close in on 90 and beyond, i think of the thru hikers and wonder how you all do it. It's bad enough mowing lawn in that heat! And then to be all wet so much of the time. I applaud you both on generally keeping pleasant attitudes when there are so many things you could complain about.
I believe from what I have read about thru-hiking is that women gain more muscle and men lose it, hopefully your weight loss will stabilize soon and you will feel stronger.
I don’t know why you’re so mean and feel the need to be rude to us, but I genuinely pray that life treats you well today. I wish good things, joy, and happiness for you. Love and light to you today and always. 🙏🏼💙
Go Mama Bear & Little Bear Go!

The red eft stage of the Eastern Newt is a bit like the pre-teen stage in humans. "Eft" is one of those classic crossword puzzle three letter words.
Love that even when it’s a rough day you are able to find joy in your adventure.
Such a contrast from walking beside the highways to walking in the deep woods. The woods and their treasures (even the rain) are so soothing in the videos. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.

You guys are doing great!!! One foot in front of the other.
You both are amazing! Hang in there! Hoping for sunshine and flowers for your next few days! 🌹🌸💐🌺🌷🌻☀️🌞🌞

That’s awesome! What a beautiful place to have church. Praying your message is God guided and well received. 🙏🏼💙
That's cool. I was just there hiking (and munching on wild blueberries) on Friday.
Good morning
Good morning ☀️
Newts come out more after the rain. Read somewhere to always wash hands after touching them. Prayer you have an easier day this one seem like your toughest day mama bear.
Every day is hard…but this one was pretty tough for sure. Each day is new and we take them all in stride.😊
Bless you both well done on putting best foot forward all day in the horrid weather .
Good morning from Massachusetts. That rain sounds very heavy. You both are doing so well . Have a Strawberry of a day!
It was! Buckets coming down from the sky!
You know mama bear had a hard day when she steals Ellie From Little Bear
That “lizard” is a Red Eft, found throughout the Appalachian mountain range. Keep hikin’
Sending hugs and prayers! ❤
Scary umbrellas and thunderstorms plus power lines. Happy you are safe.🦋❤️
You bears are amazing! Little bear has the heart of a thru hiker, grateful, cheerful, rolls with the punches. Good job Mama bear on raising a girl with fine character.
I could see her having her own channel as she triple crowns some day (maybe you will join her Mama bear 😊)
Today’s video certainly did look like a challenging day. Glad you finally made it to camp safe and sound. Did you ever find out what that testing area was for? Safe hiking ❤❤❤
Sorry you had an extra tough day. Hopefully those will be few and far between. God is with you. Prayers for you throughout this journey 🙏🏻
Can't believe you're already at day 69. So crazy how fast time has gone by
You two are amazing huge inspiration
the purple flowers at 11:56 are called spider wort....

Hi Bears, enjoy watching your AT journey and hearing your daily reflections (highlight & character building moments). Question: have insects, ticks, mice or bears ever been an issue during your hike? If so, what plan have you put in place to manage each of them?
I think you both are super awesome and I love your channel!!! Awesome!!
I'm sure for Mama Bear hiking in that rain without tree cover was stressful enough without adding in the extra weight of food and water.
It was a tough day. But we take the good with the not so good days. 😊
Tough day, but you did well and made it to camp!
I would love to give you suggestions in food but i lost about 50 lbs on my hike so... lol my 2 favorite lunches were uncrustables and sandwiches. Sandwich thins, bagel thins, or bagels for bread, salami or peperoni, cheese, mayo packets, sometimes carried out spinach to add, once carried a tub of cream cheese. I had a "chip bag" large ziplock where i just added something to it. Fritos, cheetos and veggie straws held up well. I found it good for my soul to eat "real" fresh food at lunch. I liked mini muffins for breakfast. Bulky but light. Also had breakfast essentials in the morning with coffee. That is the onky thing i had every day and didnt get sick of! Try adding olive oil, mayo or butter also.
Good video with some good views, in a lot of bad rains, so let's keep on hiking 😊
If you want to greatly reduce the chances of ticks get some perfume and basically take a bath in it I don't know what it is in the perfume or colone for men or what it does to them but they hate it
The little newt looked so comfy in your nice warm hand. ❤
As the spring rains water the earth, so let us press on to know the Lord (see Hosea 6:3).
Thunderstorms just freak me out - you guys are fearless. Stay safe please.

Stick the Eagle (another You Tuber), came across a large bear directly on the trail recently. He was either in New York or Connecticut.
One thing every one knows if your going to hike the AT you are going to have lots of rain and thunder storms.
You know, i think you have been remarkably restrained in your use of the M word (miserable). Every summer as temps close in on 90 and beyond, i think of the thru hikers and wonder how you all do it. It's bad enough mowing lawn in that heat! And then to be all wet so much of the time. I applaud you both on generally keeping pleasant attitudes when there are so many things you could complain about.
When you went through Tennessee, did you see any Feral people?
Hi there! No, we didn’t.
What is little bear wearing on her feet? The shoes look extra wide? Thks
When you treat with permethrin, is your tent included in the treatment. Just wondered about the inside.
We do often treat the outside of the tent.

Mom needs to eat more she’s losing so much weight
Thanks. I know. I’m trying my best.
I believe from what I have read about thru-hiking is that women gain more muscle and men lose it, hopefully your weight loss will stabilize soon and you will feel stronger.
Walk alot , eat crappy food, deal with weather and bugs and possible prey because thats a Smart thing to do with an 12 yr old. Mental checkup needed
That took a lot of your energy and time to write this comment. Thanks! 😃
@@wildflowersadventures not as much energy as hiking for no good reason
I don’t know why you’re so mean and feel the need to be rude to us, but I genuinely pray that life treats you well today. I wish good things, joy, and happiness for you. Love and light to you today and always. 🙏🏼💙
@@wildflowersadventures not mean, it's Truth, no need to be fake for Fame
@@wildflowersadventures you're pretending to enjoy this, but you're miserable and I hope you learned your lesson
