    It seems like Jen could add philosophy to the subjects she could teach. There’s a saying: “be where your feet are.” - the inability to do that has ended many thru hikes. I admire both of you for your ability to live by that saying. Good luck in the school year!

    Corn and rainbows for Jen's final moments on the trail, that was kind of epic. It was also great to see Jen appearing to be feeling better. I hope Jen sends a few clips of her mountain adventures going forward.
    Cheers to the both of you! I think you had a great summer vacation together.🍻

    Hey Y'all! Yeah Matt, I'm gonna keep following you along on the trail from the comfort of my couch, But I'm going to miss the Taters giggles. I had one big adventure motorcycle trip, KY to AK, across Canada through VT and back home in 30 days. I was so glad to be home and sad it was over at the same time. I have some idea of those feelings. Taters, thanks for showing some CA kids there are different ways to be, I'm betting you have an impact on some lives. Walk on Matt!

    I'd love to see an ADT Taters highlights video. I'll have to check back to when/where she arrived first the summer. I love the videos, I look forward to it everyday, I watch it daily after work. Great work on the videos. I like that your videos are genuine and not overproduced. Just snapshot videos of stuff that you find interesting and that give an idea of what is typical of each day's hike.

      Sadly since I do all the editing myself and I’m going to be on trail still for the next few months something like that isn’t really doable. I do have hopes of doing more highlight reel style videos like what I did for the Mississippi but that requires quality time with my laptop
