Thanks for sharing your JOurneY -- Loved the Katahdan proposal -- gave me "chill-bumps" and that warm-fuzzy feeling. - I always appreciate those who are life-long learners and curious about experience gathering and growing their hearts more and choosing less about "knowing" in their heads more than others.
Thank you for being here for the ride. We are so grateful for you, dear friend! In the end, the memories we shared with people are the only thing that will count. And happiness truly is only real when shared.
Your journey as a couple is magical! The videos and enthusiasm drew me to the Whites for the first time this summer (and then I went back the next week)! Hopefully friends aren't tired of hearing me talk about it because I know I light up when describing the mountains. 😀
We are so excited to hear that we inspired you to get out to the Whites! It truly is a special place and so underrated. Most folks from the west look down on our trails but they have no clue what kind of magic really lies here. Keep talking about mountains and you'll attract friends who obsess over them too ;)
@@hikinghomesteaders the friends I have obsessed with mountains spend all their time in the Adirondacks. I joke and say I skipped those and went to the better peaks! Thankful daily for my healthy and any hike is a great hike :)
Oh my goodness you guys, you've got me getting all misty-eyed here at work! 😂 So grateful that God brought you two together and gave you such a zest for life, such an unquenchable thirst for exploring and savoring every detail of our incredible planet we call home, and such a gift for capturing it all and sharing it in a way that just brightens the day of everyone who sees it. To Gypsy & Fern, and every mountain and every mile of trail that have led to where you are today! 🥂
Marc! We are so grateful that God brought you to us as well. Thank you for being such a wonderful and supportive influence in our life. :) You make the trails sparkle that much more. First Haute Route Video premiering this Saturday @ 8pm!
When you told me in John’s kitchen that you’d be sharing a tent, I had my doubts you’d even make it half way. I have never been so happy to be proven wrong! What a special journey you’ve begun and can’t wait for the next time I see you! Congratulations again and I love you both!
So glad i discovered you all when you were in the midst of completing your NH 48 and I was hoping to work in the Whites. Then the following year that became a reality and you all were on the AT. Your stay at my campsite was one of the highlights of my summer. Hated I couldn’t be at your wedding on Mount Washington but you know I was there in spirit. Love you both ❤
You are very special to us too, Chris. I was beyond cool to meet you at Nauman and share that time together. Your spirit was up there with us at the ceremony. You are doing some really big and important work in the Smokies. We'll meet again and hike together, of this I'm very sure. We are going to be heading south again at the end of May for trail days if you'd like to reconnect around then.
Amen! God's hand really was on our wedding day. The clouds parted for the 1 hour of our ceremony, the sunshine was shining on us, and the second we finished, it clouded over again.
Great video you two! Very nice to see your entire hike in one video. I followed you guys last year and quite frankly, I have been missing your videos ever since. Glad to see that you both are doing good, and both of you are still smiling in every video! Too cool! I hope the future is good to you both and hope to see more of your work this year. I was hoping to see you two at Trail Days but at the last second, I had some things come up and I couldn't go. Maybe next year. geek A.T. '90 & '02, PCT '08
Thank you for coming along for the ride with us, Geek! We are very grateful for you support. We'll be at trail days every year if we can swing it. It means too much to us. Our Walkers Haute Route Videos will start premiering this Saturday @ 8pm. Hope to see you there. :) Happy Trails!
Glad you survived Everett in the heat. Hiked it several times, felt like a rotisserie chicken on that climb and also Bear in Connecticut. Happy Trails. 🏃🏼♀️Pokey the Gatorade packing trail angel on AT in NW Ct and Massachusetts 😎
I can't tell you how scary it was braving the heat on Everett. It's the first time I really thought I could pass out from dehydration. Really shows you the importance of electrolytes. Happy Trails Pokey! Hope 2024 blesses you with much joy and adventure. Warmly - Gypsy & Fern
@@hikinghomesteaders Here's a beautiful poem by Kahlil Gibran to add a touch of wisdom to your new chapter: “You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.” Wishing you both a lifetime of love and joy!🤍🕊️💍🎉

@@hikinghomesteaders I definitely would love to reconnect! Keep me posted about your plans.
Congratulations guys! A devoted and selfless marriage done in the shadow of the One who defined what love is, is an absolutely amazing thing.
Amen! God's hand really was on our wedding day. The clouds parted for the 1 hour of our ceremony, the sunshine was shining on us, and the second we finished, it clouded over again.
I just found you guys today!
Very entertaining. What a beautiful couple you are!
Wilson!!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words. So happy you enjoy the videos.
You'll be pleased to know...Wilson is still alive and thriving...AND we planted him a girlfriend...WILMA

Here's a beautiful poem by Kahlil Gibran to add a touch of wisdom to your new chapter:
“You were born together, and together you

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance

Love one another, but make not a bond

the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from

but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone

And stand together yet not too near
together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow
not in each other’s shadow.”
