What a pretty little island! 💚💚💚 I have always had a thing for little islands, ever since I was a little girl. When I was 13 I did a little overnight hike here in Canada with my dad and camped on a little island full of huckleberry bushes. I literally walked through trails of bushes loaded with those sweet little red berries. Never will I forget that wonderful experience with my dad. I can't believe he hauled a rubber dingy and a pump, plus the tent, our food and camp stove on that hike. He sure earned his nickname "Super Dad."
3:34 That. That right there is what makes me want to do this. I feel crazy that I'm now considering spending 6 months of my life walking from Georgia to Maine!
So cool to see you on bear mtn! I'm a New Yorker (Long Island) and have day hiked up and down it. Anyone else rewatching this series in between the PCT videos?
There was a Massachusetts song you guys might have missed out on. Bee gees. Really enjoying the vids, thanks . It is going to take months to catch up to you though.
Welcome to CT, hope you enjoyed your stay. You must have just been through since it just rained the other day and it hasn't rained since July. Have Fun
I am a Ct .born and raised guy ,I have been section hiking the AT for 2 years ,I will be going to Mammoth lakes Ca. area later this summer ,to hike around that area ,hopefully to do some of the PCT and John Muir Trail .I am following you PCT videos now .Ca. is awesome pretty .
I was made in a smalltown and one day, I'll pass on in a small town. btw., did you know Superman grew up in Smallville.lol Great video, I love the sounds of flowing water. great job in the hike Dixie. I hope you and Rebell Yell catches up to the rest of your fam again. You're such a happy bunch. Be safe.
Hi Dixie! I am planning to section hike CT (and hopefully up into the first bit of MA) this summer, late June. I'm wondering how tough the terrain is so I can try and figure about how many miles I can expect to do a day. I obviously won't have trail legs, but I am a marathoner, so in reasonable shape. Any other CT tips? Thanks! I'm really enjoying your videos!!
I got ahead of her in VA and she caught up for a bit. We hung out some. Then when my dog passed away and I went home, I never caught up with her again. We talk on the phone fairly regularly now :)
I saw a comment from Dixie on another video, that Body Glide did "most of the trail" and was back in Mississippi. Dixie has a comment on this video about Rigga, it says...... "I got ahead of her in VA and she caught up for a bit. We hung out some. Then when my dog passed away and I went home, I never caught up with her again. We talk on the phone fairly regularly now :)"
In Au we call a privi ... a thunderbox (is privi short for provition?) Watching ur series makes me realise ... ive never seen so much water!!! id be bludging around liek a naked loony toon all the time, but i supose u cant film that.
No, it goes like this. Moo-ooh Cow-o-ows, things are gonna get easier-er. MooCows, things'll get bri-i-ighter. (repeat) Some day, yeah we'll put it together and we'll get all done. Some day when your head is much lighter. The cows like that one. So do my kids. :-)
Great question.... where’s Rigga and everyone else??? Be part of the greatest love story ever told..... God Loves YOU. He loves YOU soooo much He pays attention to everything you do. God Loves YOU soooo much He came down from On High (a place of infinite joy and happiness) to humbly take the form of a Human being. Walk through what it’s like to have to be cared for, eat, work, live. He then was wrongfully and painfully tortured, spit on and mocked. He was nailed to a cross and hung there... 9 hours... until His fleshly body gave out. He did all of that... just to get closer to YOU. God Loves you soooo much. But do YOU Love HIM? Admit to God that you’ve done bad things in your life. Things you can never take back. Admit to God you’ve thought things you know you shouldn’t have. Admit to God that you’ve said somethings you know you shouldn’t have. Admit to God you’ve done somethings you know were wrong. Admit to God that you have hurt people. Admit to God that you have done things that you know are wrong and you don’t have the power to make it right. Confess that Jesus Christ is God. That He walked among us as the Christ sent by God to bring us back to Him. Profess Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Get baptized by full immersion in water. Die to your old self and be reborn. Pray to God for wisdom and Truth. Receive the Holy Spirit. Trust the Holy Spirit that will dwell in YOU and Listen to nothing else. May God Bless You and keep you safe.

1:50 reminds me of a story called The Enigma of the Amigara Fault.
These videos are so helpful. I plan to hike AT when my kids are a little older.

Thank you so much for taking the time share a once in a lifetime adventure .
silver hill campsite in cornwall....awesome stop on the AT....spent 2 nights there hiking ct AT.....hope you used the swing!!!!
Can we stop and eat now? ... Purtier and purtier, Dixie. Thanks for sharing these vistas, lakes, and towns.
There was a Massachusetts song you guys might have missed out on. Bee gees. Really enjoying the vids, thanks . It is going to take months to catch up to you though.

Were you surprised at how rural Connecticut was? I grew in New York State, but I NEVER realized just how country it is.
I was made in a smalltown and one day, I'll pass on in a small town. btw., did you know Superman grew up in Smallville.lol Great video, I love the sounds of flowing water. great job in the hike Dixie. I hope you and Rebell Yell catches up to the rest of your fam again. You're such a happy bunch. Be safe.
Great Barrington is my hometown. My sisters house is only about 20 min off the trail.
Small world!
You inspire me to klimb the A.T even though I’m 10
Goose Pond was the best. I swam out to that little island.
my girlfriend and I are northbound section hiking the ct portion this coming July. we have 10 days so well see how far out of ct we can get

Connecticut ! Dixies favorite part of the AT. 😉. Well... we all know that's not true. But a fella can still dream for free... 😘
Did you ever catch up to Rigga? And when you catch up to each other, do you start hiking together again, or just wave and go on?
I got ahead of her in VA and she caught up for a bit. We hung out some. Then when my dog passed away and I went home, I never caught up with her again. We talk on the phone fairly regularly now :)
where has the rest of the family ended up? Body Glide and Rigga?

Don't be surprised when you find the Pacific Crest Trail is a desert compared to the AT.

Just curious as to when the fam will be in the Whites.
You've got a good ear. When you sung old macdonald had a farm I could see you have very good pitch.
be a dream to live in VT or NH so much nicer
No, it goes like this. Moo-ooh Cow-o-ows, things are gonna get easier-er. MooCows, things'll get bri-i-ighter. (repeat) Some day, yeah we'll put it together and we'll get all done. Some day when your head is much lighter.
The cows like that one. So do my kids. :-)
NICE VIDEO THANKS FRIEND
Thank you!
Singing "West Virginia" in Connecticut just isn't right.
Landon Alexander Actually it's right Everywhere!
ALL I HAVE IS THE GEORGIA END OF THE AT.
Great question.... where’s Rigga and everyone else???
