    Hey North Star... Let the tears flow, girl. Crying is not a sign of weakness but rather just a release of emotions. 26:56 To be overwhelmed by your accomplishments and feel humbled by the gift of a strong and healthy body is a beautiful expression of your humanness... and God's awesomeness.

    Super job! The Whites are no joke and humble all of us. I am so proud of you. I hiked Mount Success last week to finish thr NH 52 With a View. There are 52 mountains on the list that are under 4000 feet with extraordinary views. From that summit, less tham a half mile, over those horrible big boards is the wreckage of a 1963 plane crash. Pretty interesting story.
    You have given me a lot of motivation and inspiration to hike this trail when I retire teaching, 2025, after 37 years.
    Happy trails!

    Hey North Star... It's a good thing you're now an experienced mountain climber, because this "mountain" of having to go back to work today just a few days after Katahdin may be your most difficult mountain to climb yet.
    After suffering through the agony of dragging yourself back to work with no time to recover, reacclimate or even digest what you just accomplished in five months, it wouldn't be surprising if your first post-Katahdin video is called, "Why You Need Two or Three Weeks of Unscheduled Time After Katahdin." It's like taking an apple pie out of the oven when its finished being baked, but before eating it you leave it out for a while so it can cool down and allow all the flavors to come together.
    I can't imagine how difficult it is for you to have to go back to work today right after Katahdin, but no doubt the same resolve that powered you for five months and 2,198.4 miles will see you through it and leave us inspired once again by your strength and awed by your endurance. Praying for you during this most difficult time of adjustment.

    If I could press the ‘like button’ a hundred times, it still wouldn’t express my LOVE of this video!!! Your tears were so heart felt. We know you’re in Maine now. The finish is in your grip, and you are in the grip of God. Run that race…keep the faith.

    Congratulations for such a great accomplishment! You pushed thru and made it in your timeline. We started watching your adventure when we learned you were from a town not far from us; in fact, my husband sometimes races at your hometown stockcar track. I really enjoyed watching your videos, and this Summit video with the recap was especially fun to watch. My husband and I both watched it, and it made us reminisce about our daughter's thru hike in 2022 and her own summit day (Way to go Duckie)! Be proud of your perseverance and celebrate the adventure.... you did it!

    Hey North Star... Mr. Miyagi has seen all the injuries to your arms and legs. He returns to speak to you. Here he is now:
    Audrey-san... Most unfortunate Audrey-san continue fall down, get hurt. Arm, leg look like hamburger. Therefore, Miyagi have humble suggestion. Hike backward on rock. That way when Audrey-san fall down, land on bottom. Bottom better suited for fall than arm, leg.
    Have humble proverb passed down from ancient ancestor. " He who fall the most, but get back up each time to continue on, more impressive than he who never fall at all."

    Congratulations on Maine! This trail has changed your life forever. You will never be the same person again. You will be more confident, appreciate the wilderness more than ever, and be a total beast anytime you hike. This trail will always make you a better person with more compassion and caring than you ever had before no matter how much you had. It has changed your thought process and your abilities............and the best is yet to come! You got this girl, you got this!

    @preacher1511 Год назад +2

    Hey North Star, Preacher here. I haven't checked in for quite a while but I am following your entire trip. I am so clumsy sometimes that, if your arms and legs look like that from the Whites, I would probably look like hamburger. The Whites are beautiful. You are doing so awesome. Keep it up. Here's something to give you strength. "Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel, will I dance for you, Jesus, or in awe of You be still? Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall? Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all? I can only imagine." Thank you for being so real. Be safe and God bless.

    "Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears."(Edgar Allan Poe). Yes, northern New Hampshire(the White Mountains)and Maine are 'magical' places, the likes of which exist nowhere else on earth - cherish the moments and the memories until you may someday return. The 'Trail' will be with you always. By the way, those little, stunted trees at treeline in the White Mountains are known as krummholz, and the word means bent or twisted wood. Some of those little trees are said to be 120 - 150 years old. Good hearing from you - was beginning to worry a little about your situation and time constraints. Be well, stay safe.🥾
