You have inspired this 65 yr old man to do it. Loved all 47 video's you did!!!!
+Jesse Lee Thank you!! So glad to hear :)
please let us know when your e book is out!!. PS when did you start your trip?
@@jesselee4872 I think she started the AT thru-hike in Georgia on 3-29-2015
It is so cool how your awareness gets enhanced that causes you to think that your senses have gotten sharper. I get that way after just a good day hike or 2. I loved the trip. Thanks for taking us along.
I think this was your best episode. So many fascinating insights. Such well spoken wisdom. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I'd have to say your videos were the most enjoyable of the AT Class of 2015. Congrats on your hike and thanks for taking us along. Besides the sad sad loss of you dog, what was the lowest point for you mentally on your hike and how did you overcome that?
Thanks for all the videos. You were instrumental in getting me psyched for my 2017 thru hike. Some great tips...
Hi Dixie! Thanks for carrying on with these videos - I look forward to them.
probably seen all your videos. love the way you show the ups and downs. really pushing me to the CT. Sorry not AT yet lol but its on the bucket list.
Well thank you! Go for the CT! I've heard it is BEAUTIFUL. Happy Trails :)
10:19 I was camped next to RIGA the 1st night on Springer Mt. She and I walked from the Parking lot at the falls together.
That Rain Storm was something else. and the Guy Snoring all night in the Shelter too.
MERRY CHRISTMAS DIXIE!
Thanks for sharing! I was set to hike the AT then I met my husband and my plans became our plans.. which means things got delayed! Haha. We have a 15 month old and are living in Hawaii at the moment but I hope when our kids are a little older we will thru hike with them. =)
Dixie and Whitney, Thank You once again. Enjoyed all of your answers but loved when you addressed the senses best. I work in the schools and I love it, but I have become a huge fan of silence on my time off. People get so used to noise they don't realize it. How about you?
The makeup part, you are a natural beauty, you my dear do not need makeup.
I'm curious about your daily logistics of the trail. When and how many hot meals did you have? Did you cook at your camp site or earlier in the day? when did you start in the day? Did you take may breaks during the day? How often did you night hike? What was your average daily mileage?
♡
I love the beauty tips!
Great, Love you girl.
Dixie, first, great job with all of your AT videos! You really made the trail experience something special ... Also, you mentioned perhaps visiting Delaware Water Gap again. If you do, visit Jim Thorpe while in the area; I bet you'll love It. It's a really quaint town on the Lehigh River less than an hour drive away. www.jimthorpe.org Looking forward to your unique perspective of the PCT!
Thank you, Jim! I appreciate the info. I can't wait for the PCT :D
Dixie how did you physically prepare for the Trail?
Have you gotten your 2000 miler certificate and patch from the ATC yet? If not go to the ATC website and apply.
your beautiful the way you are . you need zero make up :)
nice video thanks again
I watched your video in one day. Lmao. I get your accent. Sorry about sugar. I have doggies and understand your loss. I will take my kids camping. First I gotta get gear and get my fat ass moving. Hugs dear girl.
You look fine without makeup. That's one of the first things I noticed about you on the trail. You don't need it. Natural is better. If you think the views were good from the AT, wait till you do the PCT! Especially the Sierras in California.
I don't know if you seen any of Sam (I am) Ducharme Videos He and a buddy Red Hot hiked this year and now they are going around doing Lectures That's something you should look into I think that would be real interesting Sam I Am has three videos on his Lectures
Were you employed when you hiked the trail?
As much as I want to hike the trail there is no way I can take six months off from my job.
+Shadowwarrior2169 Nope, I saved a lot before I left. I deferred my student loans (probably not the best decision financially). I live frugally, anyway. I don't have a new vehicle. I don't do credit cards. Debt is the main thing holding people back these days, so I try to avoid it like the plague. Sugars vet bills put a hurting on me, but I don't regret anything I spent on her. Anyway, if you don't feel you can financially step away for 6 months, you can always section hike! I feel like that's almost more of an accomplishment because the logistics are more difficult and you never fully develop trail legs. But, where there's a will, there's a way!
