Dangerous Hiking on Highway 231

- Week 5 of the border to border calendar year triple crown is off to a great start.
This week Fresh Ground drove down to support us as we crossed out of Florida and onto the Alabama road walk portion of the hike. 1 state down, only 23 more to go! Florida will be one of the longest states of the whole year though.
With Fresh Ground down here we were eating good and he picked us up many days to drive us to a camp site or motel. Which was so incredibly helpful, as we spent a lot of time hiking on highway 231.
231 was ridiculously busy with trucks constantly whipping past. And barely any shoulder! We had to hike on 231 for about 4-5 days in total, heading into next week as well.
But by the end of the week we were nearing the end! Soon we will be on the Pinhoti trail, then heading north toward the Appalachian trail.
This week we did 209 miles, maintaining our nearly 30 mile a day pace. And we’ve completed 1,033.4 miles in total for the year.

Y'all have already amazed me with your huge average mileage in the first state!
Kudos to Fresh Ground for helping make it possible.
When we show up with 10 goats!! Love that!
I can't believe how loud the traffic sounds on this video. Cars sound let jet airplanes. If it's that loud in real life, i bet you are SO looking forward to hiking in a forest again. Stay safe!
Awesome accomplishment so far. Setting such a fast pace. The trails will be so peaceful for you looking forward to following your adventure.
Another strong week. You must be looking forward to getting into the mountains.
WATCHING FROM TENNESSEE LOVE IT
Loving all of your daily and weekly videos, thank you. If you start saving all of the cool toys from your road walks, by the end of the year, your Christmas shopping will be done! Happy trails!👍😊
You guys were in my part of the world in southeast Alabama. Dothan is where I worked for 43 years. Safe travels!
I follow a bit of Hiking news, and happened to drive past Fresh Ground near Sneads FL the other day. 🤯 Shortly afterward saw you two hiking and wondered what hikers were doing in that area. Saw a Trek article a few days later and discovered who you were. Caught up on your videos here and will be following. Thanks for posting!
Enjoying your videos, you are kicking ass!
So if I pass Punisher on the street, I likely would not recognize him. However, if I was following him, I would ask, "Hey, weren't you the one who hiked with Pegleg? I recognized your calves." 😂
Wow... seeing the Alabama border and the reality just sets in... the power of one's dreams! 🎉 looking forward to your connection with the Pinhoti Trail... that traffic is making me nervous and I'm not even there. Sail on!!! ❤
The road walking doesn't sound ideal but I'm glad it's saving you both a ton of time!
Omg don’t want to be negative but all that road walking has to be murder on the feet 😢. On a positive note you are flying north 900 miles in a month, mind blowing. Thanks for sharing your journey and experiences. Looking forward to seeing the Pinhoti 😊
Great miles. Amazing. Be safe
I am enjoying all your RUclips posts. You rock. Safe travels. I start my morning with your short each day.
This journey you are on is awesome to watch!!
900 mile MONTH!...🤯 👏💙
Even driving on U.S. 231 is exhausting…
