Saturday, March 09th: Tower AT 100 mile marker! Congratulations! Little milestones on the way to your future. Chica and Sunsets. Good luck! Happy Trails! Ross08
Awesome beautiful vlogging hiking and scenery, you got this, piece of cake, enjoy and love all the special moments, all the very best health and happiness.
Congratulations on passing the 100 mile stone! I'm thinking it'd be right chilly camping in that fire tower but you're right it would be a great place to catch the sunrise!
Congratulations on a big day. It’s an uplift to watch your video and experience how encouraging and happy you are staying. I appreciate your sharing so many details of your hike . Enjoy your journey.
Well, you did get a version of a sunset -- just in the "Chica and Sunsets" version, ha. Now only 2090.4 miles to go! I think your pace will pick up as you get adjusted, and you may end up making your deadline after all. So glad you got to see Fresh Ground and the Leapfrog Cafe! That's such an added bonus to the experience!
Congrats on the100 miles & your first 20 mile day. Now you will be able to do 30 mile a day hikes 🤣to make up for the three days behind. kidding ! You were so excited to see Fresh Ground. The man is a living legend. Your doing great, don't stop. P.S. Don't forget it's (Daylight Savings Time ) tonight "spring forward"
If you can learn to be flexible, it's amazing the options that become available. For example, if it takes two liters to get you through the evening, and there is a water source a distance you know you can reach in the first hour or so the next morning, just delay the morning routine till you get there.
You can absolutely get to Katahdin based on your original schedule. People hike 20-30 miles a day for days on end. You just have to build up those hiker legs and cardio endurance. Chica and Sunsets looks like a rip-off. I'm not paying $62 to share a room, especially a room that tiny.
So weird that the watchtower was closed. I just watched another thru hiker I follow this morning go up into the tower and take video. Well my morning. He must have filmed it the day or so before
May I recommend an original song written about the mountain wilderness ? DON'T GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP WITHOUT ME (c)2006 From james monahan original songs.
Your excitement is so contagious! When we got to Albert Mountain we were absolutely giddy!! What an awesome accomplishment for you 🤩 And, you met Fresh Ground!! Very cool. We loved staying at Chica & Sunsets - hope you were able to get some rest!
You can do the big miles, just pay attention to your body. Enjoy your stay. I think Chica and Sunsets are as well known as Fresh Ground too. Have a blast.
It’s time to start thinking about replacing the shoes you are wearing. I know you have many miles left on them but your daily mileage is growing. You should start looking for a better deal so you can buy them and possibly have them shipped to a location in the trail or to your home and remained? If you are a member of REI their members only 20% off sale for one retail priced item begins on the 15th. They also offer 20% off an Outlet item but I doubt your shoes will be available in the Outlet. I would check out their used site as there are some really good deals there on footwear for anyone, I think. I don’t have any connection to REI other than being a member for about 50 years. Good luck up the trail.
Of all the Appalachian trail vlogs I’ve watched yours is the first I have seen that really captured the steepness of Albert Mountain.
❤ YOUR ENTHUSIASM

Congratulations!. You actually can camp next to the fire tower; it’s a dispersed camping site.
Awesome job and congratulations on your first 100 miles.
Nice intro scene. One mile at a time, hope your feet are feeling better. Happy Trails.

That’s true!! That same thought had occurred to me. Thank you!
I get pretty excited too when I see you've posted a new video! 😂 I'm really enjoying your hike and seeing more sunrises/sunsets too! 🥾🗻🌲🐻🦌🦊🫎😎💚
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!

On my list of improvements to my next through hike of the AT would be to dry camp more often at scenic locations along the trail.
Some of the coolest spots are in between shelters and require a water carry. Water is heavy. Really heavy. Too heavy.
If you can learn to be flexible, it's amazing the options that become available. For example, if it takes two liters to get you through the evening, and there is a water source a distance you know you can reach in the first hour or so the next morning, just delay the morning routine till you get there.
Yes I think I might start to do that if there’s good weather!
You can absolutely get to Katahdin based on your original schedule. People hike 20-30 miles a day for days on end. You just have to build up those hiker legs and cardio endurance. Chica and Sunsets looks like a rip-off. I'm not paying $62 to share a room, especially a room that tiny.
$62 a person??
Those were some good views. Enjoying the videos. Keep the beard. See you when you get to Maine. Trail Magic with your name on it. Happy Trails.
Congrats on the 100! Hike on 👍
Nice job so far
Funny thing i meet fg on the pct in 2020 at crater lake then never saw him in 21 on the at
So weird that the watchtower was closed. I just watched another thru hiker I follow this morning go up into the tower and take video. Well my morning. He must have filmed it the day or so before
I never saw the Leapfrog cafe in 18. Maybe cause I was in the bubble?!
Yes, he likes to stay ahead of the bubble
Just wanted to say we have the same amount of vids
May I recommend an original song written about the mountain wilderness ?

Worry not about missing a chance to camp on top of a mountain, there will be many more chances.

Please don't miss me Bryan. Homophobic! But my real male cat is Sir Romeo. Perfect!
Doing too well. Caution - injuries and accidents.

I loved your comment about getting closer to God. That is what the AT would be for me as well
That’s fantastic!

Thanks! I am a member there; I will start looking into it soon.
Thanks!
