Good Monday morning. 04/24/2023.
Take care sending hugs 🤗 ❤❤
The goat whisperer. Enjoying your journey
Making Goat friends on the trail! Awesome!
What an adventure filled day! Goats and a Thunderstorm!
Love the goats! And your whistle is upside down it’s driving me crazy! 😊Happy hiking
The force is strong with you young Nahamsha! Enjoying my home state of Virginny!
Keep thinking Happy Thoughts, Taylor!
That goat thing is the funniest video I have ever seen of the AT 😂😂😂 I’m dead! Lol
Goat attack!! Wow. Too funny! Glad you got through it. 😀
Fresh Ground is the best!
As it was for me in 2015, Goats Do Roam near Pearisburg!
The goats!! 😂🐐🤣
Beautiful!!! Trees and hills...I've been there VT.
The goats were so cute!!!!
OMG! Those are the same goats I ran into last year, Oct 21, 2022 around mile marker 648.1 north of Pearisburg on the way to Pine Swamp shelter! I nicknamed them the NOBO AT goats because they came up and were licking me and checking me out for about 5 seconds then took off heading north on the AT! I managed to get them on video too! It was just what I needed at the time since I was feeling a bit lonely and down. Really enjoying following your journey and thanks for mentioning us on your day 24 hike. I am one of the SOBO hikers you met on that stretch going thru the Roan Mountains in early April. You are definitely an inspiration! KEEP GOING! YOU ROCK!
Crazy goats!! 😂
Enjoy your hike
I like to see the trail
Haha 😆 loved the 🐐 goats!
Slow down for the VA Triple Crown!
Wow, what a day! I remember seeing those goats on another hikers video. It's so weird.
I cackled over the goats 😂😂
The POV is a great view. Someone should hike the AT like that
That was highlarious.
great content!
Lightning is no joke.
8:00 “Don’t be scared. We Goat 🐐 You Babe” 😅
That is a gorgeous ridge, especially looking to West VA. But no place to be for a hailstorm!. Glad you made it down to the Pine Swamp.
Glad you got to hike that part of trail you missed last year. The goats were funny. Hate it started raining so bad before you got to shelter. The deer were beautiful. Safe travels.
The goat “ attack “ was crazy. Be safe.
I'm glad you got to see the 🐐 lol. I live on the WV side, and we have had some farmers that those goats escaped from. They have actually been up their for a couple of years now. Safe journeys!
Good video with lots of good views, 😂 some deers, lots of goats 😮 and a rabbit 😅, more rain, so let's keep on hiking..😊
I love goats! that made me laugh. The thunderstorm though, that would make me super nervous. Great video!
Taylor is too elite for the AT
The goats were hilarious-as was your reaction.
Oh wow. That was an action packed day! I literally lol with the goats. They were so curious! And no, you're not dramatic lol.
Fresh Ground is an Angel on Earth❤
Love to see you smile. You and Stella brighten my day ❤
Hi traveling salt lick, glad you enjoyed the goat bath (at first). Ha ha ha
Your ok . Your Guardian Angel is with you.
Inspiring! Keep going strong😎
@Howard Thiele, agreed 👍! Hello from Poland and my channel 😊
Goat; Greatest of all time lol!
The goats must have recognized you from your videos! They must be subscribers!!!
The goats needed salt. You eat a lot of salty food. When you are in bear country make sure your food and any candy bar wrappers are not inside your pack and put everything that smells of food in scent proof plastic bags. This includes toothpaste. Be ready to ditch your food bag. Bears can smell you from far away. Keep trusting your gut. You are amazing! I have learned so much from your courage. I watch you every morning when I have my coffee. I went on a solo camping trip to Oahu in February and was attacked by teeny mosquitos , bitten by a spider, attacked by weird flying black crickets, encountered 50 mph gusts of winds, rainstorms, thunder and lightening the entire 9 days of camping . It was an adventure, no regrets. Anyone who thinks that you spent too many days sleeping in a warm cozy safe place at night has probably never been a female solo camper. Be well, be safe! This video was fantastic, loved the animals and the bugs.
That Dunkin is bad news
It’s so addicting
Glad your day turned around
You can always restart your day
Gratitude can be your attitude
Da Breeze
Was about to get up but saw this was the next video and wanted to see the goat situation, lol. Did this section about two years ago as part of the triple crown. The shelter on that ridge is probably one of the most beautiful have been to with the view. Also ran into a thunderstorm while on that ridge and in the open; probably one of the sketchiest times have had on trail. No goats though, lol. Happy trails!
I bet people feed those goats, that's why they rush over 🐐 🐐🐐🐐
You're great and keep smiling. Glad you're feeling better. Take care! Rock N Roll
God is continually blessing your hike,His mercies are new everyday 😊❤
Nahamsha -- The Goat Whisperer ...
Be safe; keep at it!
Dunkin Rocks!
The goats.
The goats! Hahahahaha! So weird! 😂
🇫🇮❤️
It’s not the bears that you have to worry about on the AT...it’s the goats! 😁
Yes, Freshground, has shared alot of love with the AT. Think I met him in 2011-2. Thanks, bro, man . . . eggs O/e, toast n' grits! Doing really well, 'Namzha' . . . see you up the trail! Loved the 'goat attacks', make use of hikin' stix.
What a strange day filled with mixed emotions and goats.... who would have thought goats!!! I saw Ramdino's report, it's so crazy. Glad you're okay..😊
Goat attack was funny as hell
Oh, my! A day to remember.
The goats were hilarious. I am guessing they hang out on the trail for handouts. Generally speaking, they are very social and not dangerous. However, they will eat almost anything.
The goat pied piper! 😅
Ok Taylor .. this was my FAVORITE video of yours this year. It was like an action packed movie with GOATS, THUNDER and DRAMA … oh and a BUG in the tent
I have to agree with you George, I think she showed more of her personality in this one than any other. I would consider that day of hiking pretty exciting.
I wonder if the trail maintainers kept a salt block out for the goats 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 in that area if that would calm them down? Glad you are okay after the goats and lightning. ⛈ 🚶♀️👍🏻🙂
Bless your heart that was a lot in a day. The goats were just a little to nosy . The hail and rain was bad enough. I hope you had a good nights sleep that night. Stay safe and Happy Hiking ⛺️🥾💞
So much weirdness in the South on the AT.
The goats: "A human! Let's play!"
Taylor: "No! Stop, you guys!"
😂 That was hilarious, but yeah, a bit random and strange.
Hard day. Goat attack. Thunder rain. Stay safe. Keep trekking. 😀
Oh my ‼️What an experience that was for you....one that you will always remember. ..that's for sure..Now that you are safe it's a hoot!
Omg what a day….those goats!!! You’re a tough gal, Taylor…
T, wishing you the best. Know it was a wild day but I really enjoyed your video today. Thanks for bringing me along.
Those goats did make me laugh 😂sorry
On Chasing Blazes’ video she said that she ran into hikers who also ran into the goats and they ate one’s hoodie and ate the straps off the other person’s trekking poles. Frizzle ran into them too but they passed her by and she mused that perhaps it was because she smelled so bad!
Goated
Taylor the GOAT - Hiker 😂
Thanks for sharing.
The Good; The Bad and The Fury! Stay strong Nahamsha you are doing great despite the obstacles!
Note to self: next time take a few handfuls of goat chow to slow down the charge LOL That part was funny, sorry it ended with the storm & hail!
That was quite entertaining for your viewers, although probably not so much in person. Thunder, hail and rampaging wildlife make for great content. About the only thing missing was a tsunami 😂
Omg the petting zoo attacked 😂
You rock! Long miles, goats, rain, hail, and you made it in good fashion with a good attitude. Bravo.
What a legend! I'm happy it all turned around for you yesterday ❤
Love the goats. Looks like an exiting day.
It was like the goats were SO happy to see you. I was terrified just watching them coming toward the phone. You are a tough one girl. Good vibes only coming your way. I think "Thunder on the Ridge" should be a book title👍🏻
What a crazy day
No, you aren't dramatic, thanks for sharing the highs and lows and the goat attacks. Please keep the vlogs coming.
I have been section hiking this area this year. Great to see you back on the AT.
This video had so much going on 😂 seeing goats charge and hearing you yell was quite hilarious. You're amazing.
It's wonderful to see how the Lord provides what we need when we need it. Glad you are recharged!
I think I know why you're not hiking the Continental Divide Trail. Not enough hotels on the trail.
So glad you had a refresh!
I live on a farm in NH with livestock, including goats. It was strange to see that many goats in the woods. I can tell you that goats LOVE salt so no doubt that being sweaty made them converge on you. Definitely an interesting video!
Turn the goat experience into a short please and thanks!
I love Goats. I would be nervous having them all charge me like that. I’m surprised wild boar never spotted on trail. Thank God
The complete randomness of goats running towards you on the trail is hysterical....and weird 😂
You will always remember this unique day hiking. Keep your spirits up 👍. Your channily is cheering for your Nobo adventure successes.
Great video, Taylor. Lots of drama & excitement, just like a Steven Spielberg movie. Even so, you made almost 20 miles. Impressive. Walk on.
The changes on the trail are real!! Nice job! You fought those goats off heroically 😂😂
Taylor, how did the rain jacket work for you? You said you got soaked- did it wet out? I just purchased one, but haven't yet received it. I'm wondering if I should send it back before using- lol.
