    I'm following Grape, and Capt. Jack also decided to keep going and head SOBO too after doing Knifes Edge. If you can, and you want to, then why not? You and Leo are doing fantastic and have family obligations, and that's lovely, too. That water crossing at the end of the video was rough. Glad your both safe. Doing amazing. 😊

    You had me in stitches with the bird recipe 🤣🤣 Are the ponds as cold as the water crossings? Just curious 😆 That last water crossing would have me shaking in my shoes 🥹 I can’t imagine the feelings you are having right now! So bitter sweet to be ending such a beautiful and difficult journey!! I am so excited for you!! I hope the stay at Shaws is really great!!!🥾🏕️🌲😊

    Hi Mike and Leo!
    You'd think the MATC would build some bridges over those rivers, Scary stuff.
    Captain Jack just summitted last week and is doing a NOBO/SOBO/YOYO too. You'll probably meet him in the 100 Acre Woods (lol)
    Be safe!!! God Bless you both!

    The river crossing sure brought back some memories. Years ago, when HikeaNation came through southern Illinois, I was one of the volunteers to help paddle the large canoes used to ferry hikers across the Ohio River. It was on the return trip with just a few of us paddlers that I felt the mighty force of the river. It was a goshawk protecring it's nest that was divebombing hikers.

    I've read that towards the end of the AT, a lot of hikers slow down because they dont want their journey to end. They start to have heavy feelings but also can't wait to summit. It's a strange feeling, Im sure. You guys are doing great. Those river crossings were wild. Leo's funny about the water. He probably just wants a spa day at this point😂
    ❤ to Leo

I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU AND LEO TO REACH KATAHDIN BUT EVEN MORE HAPPY FOR YOU TO BE REUNITED WITH YOUR WIFE. I'VE RECENTLY LOST MY HUSBAND OF 38 YEARS TO HEART FAILURE. SO SO IMPORTANT TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME TOGETHER AS POSSIBLE.

    I'm wondering how much food you plan for Leo to carry for a 4 day? I also wonder if you send resupply boxes that include his food? My dog is a 4 year old springer spaniel and eats 1 cup twice daily. I'm planning to do a section or two next spring with her and trying to plan ahead. Does Leo eat more on trail than at home and how old is he? My dog loves to jump into big muddy spots but by afternoon she seems to be clean. She is a good hiker and I also use a retractable leash as she always wants to say hi to every hiker we meet. You guys are doing a great job and thanks for all the hard work vlogging every day.

    • @ISuckatHiking
      @ISuckatHiking  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We started with 4.5 pounds, and he eats 2 times as well. However, he started eating more so we added 8 moist and meaty packets as well
