    What is Beer in Beautiful Places?
    Hi, I’m Maddie! Celebrating an outdoor adventure with a beer has been a long-time tradition for me, and I wanted to create a platform for like-minded folks to come together. In my videos, I cover all types of adventures and review beer! Topics include day hiking, kayaking, travel, thru-hiking, and life on the road. In short, if you would describe yourself as an outdoorist, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman, hiker trash, nomad, or dirtbag, come on along, this is the channel for you! Welcome and cheers!

    My wife and I stayed at Bobs many times, first in 99. He’s a great guy. His late wife was also amazing. She was a therapist who used horses in the pasture near the hostel. Sadly she passed away several years ago.

    Maddie you keep smiling and are so positive …. You are truly an inspiration. Congrats on the 26 miles. What an awesome accomplishment 👏. I love to see the glow on your face when you speak about the landscape and it’s beauty.
    So sorry you have “poison ivy” 😔 Definitely get it checked out, as it appears to look more like impetigo (but I could be wrong). Better safe than sorry.
    Sending hugs 🤗

    • @BeerinBeautifulPlaces

    Maddie: Congrats on your "marathon"! You should be so proud of yourself!
    I enjoyed your segment on interviewing the other hikers in anticipation of their trek to Demascus, and got a kick out of their nicknames. Good job! You're doing great, Maddie. Keep it up!
    Re: Poison Ivy... it is SYSTEMIC. Once you are exposed, and get the rash, it can spread to different parts of your body via your bloodstream. The rash usually develops where your blood vessels are nearest your skin...i.e., your wrists, ankles, neck, etc. Try to treat (contain) the rash as quickly as possible! Using Calamine Lotion will help dry out the rash, but if you waited too long, and the rash has spread to different parts of your body, you might have to see a doctor, and get a prescription for something stronger. I once had poison ivy so bad and didn't get it treated soon enough, that I had to get a prescription. A doctor prescribed PREDNISONE (a steroid) for me. It really worked well, and the rash was gone in less than 1 week! NOTE! Excessive sweating seems to cause the rash to spread faster, so please treat your poison ivy as soon as possible!
    Take good care of yourself, Maddie, and have a good safe hike! ...and "Thank You" for taking us along! ENJOY!

    Maddie, thanks for all of your effort in showing and sharing your experience on video while you hike the AT and your past adventures. I know how much effort goes into making one short video and how much memory it eats up both as pictures and videos as well as your movie app files. I don’t know if storing files up in the cloud will help speed things up but to free up space on my phone I download my files to an SD card (128GB) and carry a less than 1 ounce SD card reader that plugs into my iphone. I have an older phone without mush storage space so when I take 2-3 days of pix and create the movie for a certain day, I upload the movie file to RUclips then down load it all to my SD card before wiping them off my phone. If I need anything from the past I can upload them from my external memory card. Then memory card (128, 256 or even 512gb cards hold months of picts and videos) and card reader are less than $30 together at the most . Once home keep a backup of everything on my laptop. At least now I can make daily videos without worrying I won’t have the space when I want to share my hikes. This has prevented a lot of frustration trying what to delete just to free up space. Just an idea to try.
    Thanks again for your videos and your honesty. I hope your Poison Ivy goes away soon. Just remember take one step at a time and enjoy your experience.🎉

    the Appalachian trail is beautiful but it would scare me, here (in France) all we know about this trail are the people who died like Madame Gerry Largay, others who were murdered, when you meet a madman in such an isolated place you have no chance, like that sick Randall lee smith, who stabbed a man, and James Jordan, too, this place is so famous for being dangerous, but people love to launch the challenge to go through it, and of course, I admire them!
