    Happy Birthday Kelly! Don't be bummed out about 30! Although I had a very good life before 30 years old, ALL of my adventures, accomplishments and just a better and more exciting lifestyle began at 35. The best years of my life were from 35 to now, which is 70 next month. Your entire life may have just started at 28 but 30 is just another milestone along the way! Enjoy it, have fun, it just gets better from here.

    So nice you guys were able to have a vacation together. Kelly your birthday and my dad's birthday are the same day. He turned 99. So thirty is super young. Beautiful area to visit. Stay happy and enjoy life. Can't wait for the Florida Trail. Hope you got a bug net.

    You guys are so cute! I’m glad you had a good new years and birthday! I’ll be 60in March, twice your age, but I’d still love to hang out with you(if I could keep up!)on trail or anywhere, you always have fun. If you’re ever back in north Georgia, stop by and maybe hike Raven Cliffs with me, it’s only 5 miles total out and back, but my favorite local hike.

    Happy late birthday! That is my favorite section of the AT. We go there or try to at least once a year. As it is very close to home too I am so lucky. Love the B&B they are the best. So glad you had a wonderful time. The BEST breakfast there ever......

    I love Sugar Mountain. A good friend of mine coaches cross country at Lees-McRay College in Banner Elk. We also snowboarded at App Mountain. That whole area around Boone is great!

    Those are the very special kind of gifts James is so sweet. Kelly don't worry about numbers age is what you feel enjoy every day to the fullest. At going on 64 I have been hiking and camping since I thru hiked the A.T. in 1979 And I am still loving the outdoors maybe I've slowed a bit but I'm that's okay. Take care and Happy late Birthday.

    Must have been an interesting feeling at 18:06 seeing other backpackers while y'all were out day-hiking (unless that was an 2021 clip to go with your "great memories" clip) Maybe like seeing yourselves from a distance.

    Happy belated birthday! We're you the first baby that year? Haha stinky bathroom, must have been all those beans he was eating 🤣👍! That was a sweet apt. Very cool to hike where you had previously hiked when doing the AT I think I would have a mix of emotions doing that. A drone! That just brings your content to a whole new level doesn't it! Well done. Have fun in FL.

    You need to come hike Sassafras mountain here in South Carolina. It takes you up the prettiest viewing platform where you can see SC and NC and it’s the tallest mountain in South Carolina. Next time your near highlands you need to go to to Dry falls. It’s a giant waterfall you can walk behind and a little further down the road is bridal veil falls which is a Waterfall that is literally next to the road that you use to be able to drive behind.

    What a cool birthday gift. Looked like a great weekend. I loved hiking Roan Mountain. That Blue blaze definitely has the most scenic spot on the mountain.
    I love little resorts like that, they have more of a family vibe.

    I was up exactly where you are filming last Aug. I picked a ton of blueberries. I heard there was a small fire that burned a lot of the blueberries just up from the road. I haven't been up there since, did you see a burn scar? it was a brush fire only I believe. I also hiked on the other side of the road up to the "Roan high knob shelter" and saw your signature there.

    That Katadin sign is an incredible gift - it's beautiful! I always scratch my head at the skiiers and snowboarders doing their thing with grass and mud on either side, talk about dedication to the sport. 😂 Looks like it was a lovely trip and I always find myself craving Mexican after watching you two... 🤔

    This was a very heartfelt and beautiful video. I love that you guys got to spend New Years together and return to where it all began on the trail.
    The dirty thirties can seem scary but I promise your youth remains and you're ever beautiful. I know I said it before but in your thirties your body still does everything you ask of it, but it lets you know the next day that you did it 😂.
    Look at it this way.
    Your thirties are the teenager years of adulthood.
    Great cinematography and good narration throughout. I look forward to more.

    Oh you bought a drone. Nice aerial shots 🙂 Be careful where you fly. It's illegal to fly in national parks and the AT is a national park. Wouldn't want to see you paying a 5k fine.

    • @Self_Proppelled
      @Self_Proppelled Год назад

      @S. M. The DJI fly app will tell you where not to fly. I don't think it will even take off in a restricted zone. Barring that the B4you fly app shows which zones are restricted. Also monetized video means she needs a part 107 license.
