Just visited your blog and my heart goes out to you Dixie. I'm so sorry for your loss. Vet costs have skyrocketed in the last 5 years. I know this all too well. I will be donating to help you out a bit.
It’s really weird watching this after seeing your PCT and CDT videos, I can’t believe how sociable the AT is!! I wish we had something like this here but hiking in Europe is pretty different
I am so late to the party here, but had to comment on something. I was never a hiker, but had aspirations of doing so when I was young. I did however, build part of that trail you hiked. I worked the entire season on the Mid-Atlantic Trail Crew in 1990. I completely understand the friendships that come from that camaraderie and why Rigga wanted to meet your family. When crew was over I went to Chesapeake Bay and went sailing with a crew volunteer couple, staying with them for a week. Then up to Chicago for another visit with someone else there, before heading home to St Louis. It is indeed a life-changing experience.
I'm so glad your feeling much better. This is my 1st post. I just started watching, a friend turned me on to this and I love it!! Thank everyone who makes these videos possible. Dixie you ROCK!!!
Country's Barbecue -- probably my favorite place to eat during the during the 10 years or so that I lived in Auburn (I got 3 degrees there). I went to high school in Smiths Station. I'm enjoying the videos. I'd love to thru hike, but the best I can do for now is a section during May this year, considering the job, wife, and kids. I should have done it a long time ago.
Damn Dixie!! Your vids are like crack..I CAN'T stop watching..just the right length to be packed with first hand info and and entertainment..thanks for taking the time to do them.
Haha. Wow. I have been watching these videos to get a feel for what could be expected with a thru hike...and then realized you were at the same Country's Barbecue I grew up eating chef salads from. Same age from the same city. Sad note, that Country's BBQ closed.
I've watched all your hikes:AT/PCT/CDT and Camino and now I'm watching them again. I think this particular episode exemplifies why you are so popular, your videos are so heartfelt and warm. Good luck in all your future endeavors, and please, if you insist on hiking the Florida trail, do so in a group, preferably an armed group. The two-legged animals in the forests of Florida can be brutal.
Very cool. Loving your videos. Look after your digestive system and feet! - Hope you are enjoying the Hike. Y'all stay safe - keep us updated. Warm regards. DisabledPrepper
During the video a quick pan of the supper table (9:01) shows what I may believe is a clothes iron. I also thought it is possible but from what I have learned about Auburn fans it may not be. Each year, the Auburn football team plays with the fellas from Alabama in a game called the Iron Bowl. The War-eagle/Tigers take this very seriously. Is it possible that Auburn fans have a iron-shaped bowl that holds - I don't know - salsa? And I just never saw one before?
Id love to hike the AT! I'd love to hike my bucket list of places lol. But, I haven't quite figured out how you afford to take off for a few months at a time from the grind of a job. Being on the trail for that long obviously costs. How do you manage?
Has there been talk or has anyone tried a small pack in front of your body ? Like maybe 20% or 30% of total pack weight . Perhaps hiking could be a bit easier more balanced and not hunched over
Boodieman72 That confused me as well. So do you fly/drive home and then fly/drive back to the spot where you left off? Granted that hiking 2100+ miles under any circumstances is quite impressive.

Absolutely love your videos, so genuine and so much heart. You’re the best!! After binge watching for a week I’m already planning my first hike, ever.

This is an awesome series! You make me want to go thru hike the AT. Thanks for sharing!
ahhh makes me so happy to see someone from AL doing this!!! I am planning on hiking part of the AT next summer!

WOW Dixie how big is your family , I think that is great .

You know the "TOOTH" brush originated from Alabama? If it came from any where else it would have been called a"TEETH" brush!!!!!!!!!! 😂
I love your aunt!
Got interested in your AT hike, found out you live practically next door! I'm in Smiths Station, went to AU and lived there for several years.
I do have a question Dixie, Ticks how bad have they been and how do you deal with them?

It’s an iron. They’re getting all dressed up, they ironed some shirts.

Sorry to hear about Sugar.
Jess, what was your total pack weight most of the time? Very fun vids!
Did u start the AT hike alone or did you have a friend from the start?
Nice vid. Cool to watch hiking vids but nice to see a non-hiking side of the person as well. Now I want BBQ!
Is that Country's Barbecue in Auburn?
Yes!
Cool. I have dined there many times. War Eagle! By the way, enjoyed your vids and love that southern accent.
Styx Fan War Eagle! Thank you so much for watching!
Country's BBQ started in Columbus! Not a mile from my house! Sweet potato souffle every Friday night and chocolate chess pie!
John T. Doheny III LPC MAC We live in Columbus too! I got 10 videos in before figuring out from another one of her videos that she's from Opelika! Lol
Watching this 8 years later and I think rebel yell had a crush on Dixie
Perfect family! Jared Taylor approves :)
Kudos to Mom and Dad fopr producing and raisng such beautiful children....lol
+cchgn Thanks!
Forgotten how young Dakota looks and how Kevin's beard hadn't developed yet.
Hi, how many siblings do you have?
👍👍🐕
haha I died when her brother said "I'll stab you"
Where are the old people like me?
you are so cool
Jessica did you go to Bama?
Nope--Auburn! War Eagle :)
Rebel held back.... then u left him.
I thought you did a thru hike, didn't know you went home part way though.
Boodieman72 it's still considered a thru hike as long as you hike the whole trail in a year
Boodieman72 That confused me as well. So do you fly/drive home and then fly/drive back to the spot where you left off?
Granted that hiking 2100+ miles under any circumstances is quite impressive.
@Frank Alpha Phi Omega!
Wow !!! Look at all those super hot 'bama girls !!!
