    Best sunrise in Missouri!! I camp at that site every October but enjoyed seeing it at a different time of year. Have fun in the Smokies. Can’t wait to follow you guys on the PCT.

    The PCT will be a challenge, even after doing the AT. I've started watching many a PCT vlogger, who I give up on because of "bitching" in every vlog about how hard it is... the Codgers was one of the few who I made it the entire way with... because while they did have their complaints, they brought humor into it.. I have zero doubt you can handle the PCT conditions... but the mental aspect of hiking with a partner is going to be a challenge as one day she will feel good when you feel bad, and the opposite.. I don't know if I could handle that knowing I could do another 5 miles and I have to stop early for my partner.. I hope the 2 of you the best and the ability to work together.. On the AT your commentary was some of the best... you have good camera skills. I compare the PCT as a real test of survival skills, to the AT being a more social event and a town around every corner.. Praying for few wild fires, and slow stream crossings.... Good luck to you both.

      Have a great hike! You’ll be a little bit ahead of us, but maybe we’ll see you out there!

    Great video at the perfect time. Glad to see you back. We're planning to do Bell Mountain Loop at some point this year. Good luck to you and Road Runner on the PCT.

    Great to see you on our Missouri hiking trail- the OT and Bell Mountain. Maybe I can join you on more OT hikes after your PCT hike. Believe me, the OT going north and east of the Bell Mountain loop junction on the Taum Sauk section gets pretty rocky and rugged. Did you hear any coyotes? Lots of wild hogs in that area too. Great video.

    • @lilchaphikes

      There were lots of coyotes!

    I like how your campsite finding skills are so refined after so much practice. It’s almost akin to finding the perfect Christmas tree, you step back and say, “ yep we got a good one”.

      Haha, now I’ll be thinking about Christmas trees every time I’m looking for a camp spot.

    Big time background noise on your mic or camera. Not sure which? Listen to this video. Sounds like elephants running, LMAO. Great video and so excited for your next big adventure!

      Yes, new phone case. Seems like it may not work out.

    Hoping to follow your journey on the PCT. Not sure if this has been mentioned by the sound/mic on your video is a bit rough.

    • @lilchaphikes

      I think it was from walking and wind. Am doing some testing this week. Thanks!

    You have some background noise on your mike or camera. Fyi.
