      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.

    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!

    This was the funniest video you’ve made so far! I think you let your personality shine through a little bit, and it was great. I laughed out loud while hiking on a trail myself listening to this when the goats came up to you. Someone looked at me like I was crazy.

  • @MrsJoyism
    @MrsJoyism Год назад +4

    A) Fresh Ground is magic through and through B) Yep, I think I'd be intimidated by a bunch of goats running toward me too. C) Walking through that kind of thunderstorm is scary and miserable and draining. Glad you had a safe place at the end of it.

  • @wanttogo1958
    @wanttogo1958 Год назад +5

    I think the goats “got your goat” this day but I agree that that many large ones together is intimidating when you don’t know them. As with most, maybe all, herd animals if you do have to get aggressive with them target the lead or “boss” animal. If he/she backs off then generally they all will do so, but I think you handled the situation as well as it could be handled. What a day though! Welcome to the Appalachian Trail!

  • @chrissaunders8284
    @chrissaunders8284 Год назад

    Those goats just wanted to become your new tramily. You're not dramatic. Being in a thunderstorm without shelter is no fun. Fresh Grounds, Dunks, tour of Va Tech, goats, deer, bunnies, cockroach, and a thunderstorm- this video will make a "most memorable" episode one day.

  • @elizabethlind7774

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!
