    Hey Kelly! Welcome to 300! Congrats! Man, that is one hell of a road walk for sure. Personally the sound of the cars would drive me batty! Huge thanks to all the angels for the incredible magic. Hope your eye/head are ok. Looks painful. Christmas is such a fun town! 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well.

    The different terrain you had in this section was nuts. Fro. The hard road , to swamp water and regular wood trails. Smart to hike at night, another experience to remember. Keep heading north and thanks for taking us along 😊

    I am literally so amazed by your tenacity The fact that you have been doing this for nearly a month now is amazing to me I wish I had that ability I've thought about going van life and just doing me but the videos you post show so many struggles that you have to deal with and it's just amazing that you guys keep plugging away. Your community is proud of you.

    These Florida trail videos are cool. I spend a good amount of time in Florida every year but it’s mostly on the West coast. Good to see what else Florida has to offer.

    Definitely smart to hike at night to avoid the heat of the day. Ugh, 31 miles of road hiking, but at least a full moon and not too many cars in the middle of the night. Good job knocking out those first 19 at night and finishing up the 31 miles of road walk. Wonderful trail magic from Batt 6 and others who supply the caches. Love your can-do, positive attitude.

    It's really too bad the trail has to follow so many roads.... guess land is hard to come by for stuff like that. Love your hair at 6:07!! And God bless those trail angels for that water and snacks. I was hoping you didn't have a concussion after that whack to the head....

    What is it about those overpasses and injuries? I once was going down the berm to an underpass to get away from a thunderstorm in Wyoming when I slipped and came down on my thumb. It bent completely backward. Ouch! Thank goodness I had an emergency ice pack so it never got too bad. I hope to see that your injury didn't get too bad. You three are road warriors.

  • @BrianWithoutBorders
    @BrianWithoutBorders ปีที่แล้ว

    Kelly, you may have a slight concussion based on your description. Please be careful. Per the CDC, concussion symptoms are: Headache or “pressure” in head.
    Nausea or vomiting.
    Balance problems or dizziness, or double or blurry vision.
    Bothered by light or noise.
    Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy.
    Confusion, or concentration or memory problems.
    Just not “feeling right,” or “feeling down”.

    Sorry you bumped your head. I think there's a loop where the Eastside goes thru Camp Blanding. If you take that loop We can provide you with whatever you may need. Water, beer, pizza, a ride, shower etc. We live close to there and can help y'all if you need it. My numbers on the kiosk for help to hikers.

    How do people who give you food on the road know you’re going to be there? A guy showed up with a pizza, for instance. He was just passing by and happened to have a pizza? Do the people who leave things at the cache points know that you’re coming, or are they just leaving that for anybody who comes by?

    • @kellyhays23
