FYI. Mr barns is no longer with us. He died 1/8/23 but I his wife ,Cheryl, still following you. I no longer have a hiking partner after 55 yrs but still hike with my dog. We last hiked presidential range and AT in mid 80s. You forget how spectacular it can be and a challenging beautiful hike. Really enjoying you sharing this magnificent granite state with us. Please be extra careful as you get the more challenging terrain ahead of you and high water crossings.
sending you love and happiness cheryl 💗
So very sorry for your loss!
I'm so happy your mom picked you up and that you are taking it easy on the trail. You have nothing to prove to anyone out there. I am hoping you enjoy your time in your home state.
I love how your mom and family supports you!!! Good to know you got your eye checked out.
Poor thing such and emotional past few videos with missing home and your eye! Hang in there, your almost there!!
Thank you adam!! It's a Rollercoaster haha
Your mom is so accommodating. She must be so sweet.
I watched Tommy Lister’s video and loved it when he called you “world famous”. You’re too damn modest to admit how accomplished you are as a hiker so I’m glad another hiker gave you the props you deserve. I hope you’re just wearing your glasses now. I would have to think contacts would be a real PITA on trail. I’m looking forward to that sunrise tomorrow. Don’t disappoint me !!
Smashing Pumpkins FTW! - Glad your eye is ok! 2:44
Glad to hear you got the eye checked and that it's not something more serious, that your mom is spoiling you, and that you're in much better spirits!
Glad you are feeling better and got to spend time with your mom!
Oh my, my knees get so weak watch you climb!!
Love that urgent care closes at 5PM. Good to know that urgent care isn’t need after dinner in the mountains.
I’m so glad your eyes doing better. Nothing like a visit from mom. That tent site looks beautiful.
I like your glasses. We rode that Conway railroad back in the 1980s when we were up there. Also went to Mt. Washington.
I have to hold my breath when the trail seems so steep and gnarly but you've still got your phone in one hand filming as you climb.
love the glasses and pigtails Taylor godbless u and keep on truckin'.
Through hiker needs meds and says..... "I hope it's ultra light" 🤣😂😆 So funny! And I"m happy it is ultra light! ❤ And I'm happy you took the time to take care of yourself.
Gosh, I’m going to have withdrawals when you and OG finish. I hope you’ll make some follow up videos when you return home.
The train was cool to see
I love how happy you are with your Mom!!
Taylor, you did a great job on this video … very nice video techniques
I absolutely love this part of the country. One of my very favorite places to visit. Enjoy and thanks for letting me tag along 🙏
2:36 WHOAA.. Stop the Press .. did you see that blouse Momma Taylor is sporting .. that’s one jazzy design
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA!!! OmfGAWD 👀 😱
And the music playing on the radio. NaMOMsha is 🔥.
Oh yeah, there was a news segment yesterday morning in Maine about the flooding. They had to release a dam and that was part of it, but it should be receding now. There were a ton of road washouts in the foothills of the western Maine mountains. Enough rain already! ✌️
Glad to hear you got your eye checked out 👍. Come on and admit your not in a rush because you really wanted use the water slide 😃. P. S. Mom you rock.👍👍👍🤘
I love that section between Jackson and Pierce with all the boardwalks through the marsh, it's a 'happy place' to be. Enjoy every step!
I've been following you and a few others on the AT for a few weeks now, and thought you were in the middle of the group in terms of finishing. I just did the math and realized you're actually in the front of the pack which is way exciting! You're doing great and your trek is so inspiring! I'm glad you got your eye checked and that you have your mom's support along the way! Can't wait to see you finish!! You're almost there!! 🎉
Mount Webster...a great name for a mountain
I've always wondered why a GoPro wouldn't be better than a hand-help phone.
I feel much better now that you have been seen for your eye.
I hiked the presidentials with my Dad in 1993 the summer before starting college, I’m so excited to relive this section through your videos! Thank you for bringing us all along for your journey.
Good morning Team Taylor
Good morning Team George! 😝
Your eyes look so much better - glad you got them checked out and the prescription seems to be doing its job. Props to your mom for assisting you and happy you got to chat with Chet. Seems lika an all-'round good day. Be well, stay safe.
I love North Conway so much. I plan to retire there. You are such a thru hiker. 🙂 The 1st concern of the prescription was how much it weighed. 🤣 You were right, that was the Conway Scenic Railroad, gorgeous in the fall. Blessings to your Mom, she is so sweet. Rest well Nahamsha. ✌️
❤ I look forward to your daily updates. I know you must be finished by now, so I will enjoy until your last post. You are an inspiration and a rockstar! Go Taylor!!!❤❤❤
Taylor, your mom is the best! ❤
Love your videos and your mum! My son gets sty in his eyes, and it turns out it's from a vitamin A deficiency. Hiker food must be taking its toll. Hope it's all better now, and the rivers have calmed for you.
I used to get styes a lot when I was younger. They are no fun!
Reliving past hikes through you . Originally from Plymouth and started an outing club in highschool. We camped at mispah while the hut boys were having a Halloween party. Also have stayed in the hut while helping my husband and friend get their 4000 footers. Love Conway area.
Glad to hear that all you have is a sty and that you are feeling good.
It is wonderful to see you back in the swing of things. Good luck with the final miles of the trail.
You are amazing!!
If you can carry a small baby shampoo with you, wash your eyelids & lashes with a tiny bit every day. We battled a stye situation with one of our kids. Ultimately fixed with oral antibiotics after the ointment & drops didn’t work. Better than knocking out a kid to treat surgically. Warm compresses are good but that’s tough on the trail…
You do such a great job vlogging while you hike! I enjoy all of your videos and am rooting for you with all of this rainy weather we've been having in NH. Good luck and have fun!
Glad you had your eye checked out. Lots of flooding and river crossings are high. You are almost there. 🌻👣
Gorgeous views!! I bet little visits with your momma give you just the push you need to keep going. You're a trooper girlie, and I'm loving to tag along. Thank you for sharing.
🥰❤️🤗
Glad you got some help for your eye. I know it feels better. The beginning of this hike looked steep. You mashed it! Keep charging!
Keep up the good work T!
Your like the "ENERGIZER BUNNY"...you just keep going and going and going !!!
Quite inspiring...thanks for sharing !

You go Taylor glad your eye is ok
I have the same problem with my eyes. I might recommend that you get a small soft microfiber cloth, like the type for cleaning eyeglasses. Put it in a ziplock bag. Then before you go to bed take it out, wet it down with just clean water and use it to clean around your eyelids. Do the same thing when you wake up in the morning to get all the gunk out of your eyes. That works for me. Alternatively you could use a wet paper towel instead of a microfiber cloth, but you might not want to carry paper towels with you. Whatever you do don't rub your eyes or even touch them with your fingers. When you do that the bacteria from your hands will get into your eyes and cause problems. If you feel the need to rub, get the microfiber cloth out and use it. Clean your eyes, don't rub them. I hope maybe that is helpful.
Glad your eye is getting better. Beautiful views. Safe travels.
I'm such a fan Taylor. Great video !!!
How beautiful!
So happy you are feeling better!
Taylor, you do these hikes so gracefully. My husband and I did Moosilauke 3 weeks ago and I was exhausted for a week. Love your glasses. I had to give up my contacts 2 years ago because no matter what i did, I had issues. Hope you solve your issue.
That’s the same thing I had with my contacts a stye. Glad to see you are feeling better. These scenes are soooo beautiful!!! 🫶🏾
Go Taylor! You’re an inspiration! Love watching your progress w my morning coffee. Can’t wait for the Presidential Ridge. You got this!!
Can’t wait to visit this area. So beautiful!
Just my advice. I studied eye diseases and feel you should get an eye doctor to look at your eye. Maybe it’s nothing serious but just a precaution.
What exactly is a stye though easy to look up
Great videography and editing of this section. Yours is always good, but this was next level with all the tripod shots of you climbing (which I know took extra time) and the shots of you holding the phone while climbing. I get dizzy when I see those one-handed steep climbs! Whew. Your mom is fabulous. And that camping site! Nice.
Oh wow Taylor…I wear daily (disposable ) contacts and had a stye last summer…no joke…took over a week to clear up even with the antibiotic eye ointment…hope yours cleared up quicker!
So glad you're feeling better! Oh my gosh, the Whites look absolutely terrifying to me, lol! So much rock climbing. And that mud! 😳
I am enjoying following your journey. Love all your family support and views are spectacular. Hoping your eye issue improves quickly. Love that you had a great day on trail and good vibes. Happy hiking.❤
Go Taylor Go! Family support is fantastic. Enjoy the last 336 miles +- Nobo footsteps. Your channily is cheering LOUD!!!
I had that eye thing where it was droopy several years ago and was given the cream, I was concerned about what would happen to it once it went in the eye and they said “It will just melt in there”, . Then it was an immediate recovery basically. They didn’t mention the stye part though.
I guess the earliest sunrise on the trail must be on Kathadin around the solstice… as early as 4:50 am with the aurora probably visible before 4! But might have to be above the horizon.
Taylor, Glad you got your eye checked, was prescribed erythromycin ( antibiotic). You are good to go. Happy Trails
Big T! I missed him by a day when I met you in PA. You 2 have been on a collision course since at least PA if not before! Tell him a subscriber says hello!
You have a very interesting new experience today. I watch this share from A to Z, dear friends here.
Thanks for the video- I love the easy breezy feel of your day. You deserve it!
I had an ulcer in my eye that was caused by extended wear contacts. It was extremely painful- eye problems are no fun! Hope yours is just a memory now!
Good morning, Taylor.
Such a joy, seeing you press on after the difficult days a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the two zero days really did the trick. As I watched you last year, New Hampshire and Maine were my favorite days…so glad you are there. You will be finished and back to your store before you know it. In real time, you may actually be there already! Enjoy these last days!
I'm glad that your eye is on the road to recovery. I remember just being told to put neosporin in my eyes back in the day. I have daily contacts nowadays, but I switched to self-darkening prescription glasses for backpacking. However, they're not quite dark enough for CA desert conditions and are not polarized for ocean trips.
😊girl you make it look so easy 😊 woo hoo! So since you got this trail done what’s next? 😊 do you have another trail in mind? 😊keep on keeping on 😊you got this! 😊
Your mom is awesome!
She’s ok
Your Mom is so funny-"only 300 miles to go?"
Good video with lots of good beautiful views, with some bad rocky climb, so let's keep on hiking 😊
I’m glad you are feeling better. It makes me anxious when you’re hiking in those rocky areas. Stay safe.😊
Stys are no joy they really do hurt. I couldn't stand the sun shining in my eye because of it. Hope the medicine works for you. Glad you had a beautiful afternoon to hike up that beautiful mountain. Stellhikes summited mount Katahadin yesterday. Stay safe and stay cool 🙂🙂🙂
*styes
😁😁😁😁😁
"....good for hiking on rocks, which is the whole presidential range..." lol 😅🤣 they say if you can ski (hike) new england, you can ski (hike) anything--just rocks, crust, and blue ice. snow in august. gets under your skin, though, doesnt it? the raw beauty of the place. that hike up wildcat and across the kittens, looking out across the valley to tuckermans, is maybe my favorite place on the planet. glad you're there, glad you're on the mend, enjoying these beautiful days in the mwv. god's country, for sure . 🌄⛰️ soak it all up. you got this, girl! 💗
Glad you got y urgent care..this is some beautiful country you are videoing . Thanks for making it so great
North Conway is nice if you are playing tourist but not if you need to get through town to get somewhere. Now that REI is in North Conway, I now have a reason to go.
Happy Trails
Beautiful country side and great videoing. Thank you
I have always had a love-hate relationship with the Hut system. The small cabins hidden away are cool. But I feel that the AMC Huts are an eyesore. Years ago, I wrote a scathing review of the huts. I never stayed in them, but I did get breakfast at Mitzvah one morning. I had been caught in a terrible storm above tree line so I hunkered down and set up a tent. I had no choice but to stealth camp. Thankfully by morning, all was calm and quiet, I took down the tiny tent as soon as daylight hit. Had a snack and watched the sunrise and hiked to Mitzvah for breakfast. The staff was busy and a bit rude and the people who stayed there were from a company and they were all lawyers talking very loudly about business.
This was in the early 1980s. I was appalled, but grateful for the breakfast. At the time, I wished the hut system was not there. This isn't Europe I thought. This should be wilderness. Oh well,
Today, I am much more flexible in my views. I still feel they are an eyesore, but nevertheless, they serve a service for people who would never get out there.
Do they still carry people's packs down from the top of Mt. Washington for those who have reservations? They did in those days. At least for the group that was coming is as I was leaving the warmth of the hut.
Thanks for your vlog....
Does anyone else feel like these AT posts have taken over our lives?! I just ran out of milk and immediately thought “I’ve got to go resupply!!” Let’s GO!! 🥹
Lol
Good morning Taylor the AT hiker!
You are doing great kid. Keep it up and best wishes.
Love Mt Jackson. The Canadian jays are a blast there
You are in my hometown ❤. Thanks for the great views. ❤MWV
What an awesome post, Nahamsha! You are so, SO happy. Your joy is palpable which was beautiful to witness. We have been so worried about your health & wellbeing. I guess finally being in Maine (I mean in real time, not this vid), having your glasses (I have the same pair), seeing your mom, getting some eye ointment, having a good night's sleep, and then seeing the spectacular landscape are all ingredients for a Happy Hiker! 😁 I think the main reason you are so happy, though, is because it's almost over. The end is near. And you SHOULD be happy because you just hiked 2,000 freaking miles. Please do real time vid for final day on Mt. Katahdin! 🙏 I'll be really bummed if I read about it a week later. Let us share your joy because we took the trip with you! Upward & Onward, Nahamsha! Almost there! 👣🔆⬆️
You’re some awesome….i love seeing you! Be safe up there!!!
When I saw Webster Cliffs in the title, I went into the fetal position. My fiancee and I climbed it in 98 during a thruhike. We did not eat breakfast and got a noon start as well. Although we had hiked a great distance to that point, it turned into a very emotional part of the hike. My fiancee almost collapsed from exhaustion on the board walk. I did manage to get her to the hut by dark and they took us in. We were so grateful. Lessons learned. Eat and start early. Don't underestimate an area you have never climbed. Taylor , I agree that for me Webster is the hardest climb on the AT. The beautiful view was not worth it. Just kidding. There was a sense of accomplishment. I did climb it again a few years later. Seemed just as difficult even with a good breakfast.
I'm also glad you were able to get a diagnosis and treatment for your eye.
I love your action shots of hiking. How many extra miles have you added to your hike retracing steps to retrieve your camera?
Your mom is the absolute best 🫶🏼😭 seems like the sweetest lady
Was your mom playing Smashing Pumpkins???🤜🤛
Great video yet again!
Glasses look great By the way😊
Great day taking care of business with your mom then a rocky climb. Sounds like you have the prescription for healing your eye; hope so. BTW Some of those shots of you climbing were amazing - not sure how you did it all...
Taylor did your tent have cobwebs in it??? Just kiddin.🤣
What app are you using showing the elevation profile. App looks great! You are doing an amazing job. My 13 year old daughter and U are watching your great videos. We live in Virginia and I’m looking to do the Shenandoah this fall.
