Thank you for documenting your travels on the AT and sharing it with the world. I have just fallen in love with hiking after a 30 year leave. I hiked 8 miles of the AT in northern CT over Bear mountain and want to hike the rest next year, 12-15 miles at a time during weekends. If it's anything like the top section, I'm sure to love it. Best of luck in getting to Katadin by the 15th! - Steve from Southington, CT
My wife is on the trail now in Massachusetts and I'm just praying she's home in time for the season opener to enjoy some ball, however i must say Roll TIDE!
Loved the Toad Closeup Shot. So what percentage of the nights do you spend in your tent outside of a motel room, hostel or shelter? I would love to see more of the camping including some of the chores at camp.
War Eagle! Blue Bear here, I've been watching your videos from your start in Georgia to now. Best I've seen. and I've watched a lot of them about hiking the A T. I've section hiked 65 miles on the AT and plan to do more. I've lived in Alabama all my life and a Auburn Alumni, so discovering that you were from Alabama and an Auburn fan, l had to leave a post.
Hi Dixie, I'm enjoying your updates immensely. Also, I've been following your Auburn Tigers lately and I should probably mention that I grew up a Clemson Tigers fan but I drifted away when a favorite player of mine from there joined the Chicago Bears, William "The Refrigerator" Perry. I remember going to their stadium to watch them play and I used to love following their Tiger Paw Trail, but I haven't been able to get situated enough over the past several years to follow football on a more consistent basis. but hopefully I will be able to get myself back to stability soon and start enjoying sporting events again. Anyways, I'm sure you'll be approaching the Hundred Mile Wilderness soon if not already. Be safe and good luck with the crossing and I can't wait to see your updates in regards to that section of the trail. I'm considering taking a stroll through your school's campus one day cause it's referenced in the movie Big Fish. I love film sites and presumed haunted locations.lol It's probably obvious, I'm a Dreamer. So, have a great weekend and looking forward to your next update. God Bless :)
I wonder if those stops (cabins, hiker hotels, whatever) are open to the general public. And if hikers talk to people along the route who just want to be friendly and chat. "Following that dream", vicariously.
That Auburn girl watching the Alabama/Wisconsin game. Can I send you a new Tide tank top?? Just messing. Really happy for you and your journey. I'll give you a War Eagle!
Hi there, A suggestion for formatting your equipment list links. If you put 'target="_blank"' in the tag of each link, it will open them in a new tab/window. That way people can come back to your blog without having to leave the product pages.
Rigga sped on ahead so she actually finished the AT last week. Her blog is in the description of the videos if you want more information. :) ~the editor
War Eagle, Plainsman, Tigers, make up your mind, what are you? Everyone knows the only real Tigers in the SEC are the famous, fabulous LSU Fighting Tigers.
Wow! I'm really enjoying your videos. I hope you realize how truly inspiring you are. I wish you all the best!
I love "silk blazers" those up early to clear all the spider webs!Lol
The Ice Cream Man will be dearly missed and remembered by the hikers for years

War Eagle! current Auburn Senior graduating in December :)
Where do you put your pack when you hitch into a bar?
War Eagle!
I love that you packed a shaker. How many ounces was that? 8D
IT'S GREAT TO BE AN AUBURN TIGER!!!! but...this season....oh boy....sheesh... KEEP GOING WANDERLUST!!!!
Love the videos !!! Keep it up :)
At this point had you ditched your hiking poles? When I hike I use them for a few miles and usually end up packing them away...
That Auburn girl watching the Alabama/Wisconsin game. Can I send you a new Tide tank top?? Just messing. Really happy for you and your journey. I'll give you a War Eagle!
lived at the base of mt cube
War eagle! Also blackberries are so not the same unless they haven't been washed and somebody's riskin a snake bite!
So your sleeping bag came back to you washed? Did you ever wash it while hiking?
The connection with Rebel Yell seems to have grown distant. I guess that happens.
War Eagle !!! Sorry, But I'm a LSU fan ! I always root for Auburn when they play against the Tide !!!

I know that spider webs are made by spiders, but what makes a cobweb?
Did you stop at the sugarhouse for free pancakes and real maple syrup?
Did Rigga stop hiking at some point?
I've wondered the same
FYI: In update 37 we found out that Rigga has made it to Mt Katahdin. Hooray!!!!
Sorry if this a repeat question, but what ever happened to Riga?
Rigga sped on ahead so she actually finished the AT last week. Her blog is in the description of the videos if you want more information. :)

+Vincent Miceli Haha, I reckon we will just have to agree on saying, "GO TIGERS!" and just not specify which ones ;)
Hypno Toad !!
grew up in the whites
Silkblazing
WDE!
You've really matured and will be an awesome mom. You also seem to do a lot of solo hiking. Are you sad? I don't believe you're anti-social.
nobody else can keep up!!
HA!
:-)
+Homemade Wanderlust → FWIW, I like hearing you say, "so purty". Really...《wink》
At about 6:42, "I'm cleaning all the cobwebs..."
Does that make you a "webhead"? Or just a "web browser"?
;~)°
Esteban Kozak → Durn critics...《grin》
