    So thrilled the shoes work! Hope some of the cooling cloths met your approval. If not, I’ll send you darker ones lol! Keep going and when a new pair of shoes is needed, I’ll get them and send to you. And o, I’ll buy you an ice cream too! And it was amazing to see your smile and chuckle at the end of this video! I can see in your face that your mental load is lightening!!Nature, fortitude and integrity do that - Thanks for inspiring me! ✌🏻

    Hey Rob, I’m so freaking glad you decided to continue on and battle thru all the internal struggles you’ve been dealing with. You inspire me to fight thru all my demons and find a reason to carry on daily as well. We all suffer from depression/anxiety/sickness we never speak of, and seeing you smile and continue gives me strength beyond belief. Trust in the journey and it will take you to places you’ve never imagined. God bless and safe travels brother!

    Loved seeing a little bit of West Virginia....my home state! 😊
    Can't wait to see you go through Virginia.
    Moved to Virginia with my family when I was 13, from West Virginia, and lived there until 2017, ( many years later) after my Mom passed away, and I had to move to Illinois to be near my son.
    Ugh. I don't like Illinois, at least not where I live, and it just isn't home to me.
    Wish I could go back to either Virginia or West Virginia, but no immediate family is left there now, as they were all called home over the years, and my health is not that good at my age....but maybe someday I can return to one or the other state to live out my last days, as either is where my heart always is.
    You're showing us some beautiful scenery, and so many of us are rooting for you, and following you on your journey, and sending prayers every day and night. 😊🙏

    So glad to see you are well. I love Harper's Ferry. I admire your perserverance. The confluence of two great rivers.

    @ Rob The Nomad looks like you're living the closest thing to true freedom anyone can and seeing plenty of awesome sights while you're doing it. Good on ye lad ! That's a lot of walking and no easy task . I literally walked the soles out of a pair of shoes once lol , a literal hole all the way through the shoes . I hope you're enjoying your trip lad.
