Vermont is a leason for life. Everyone spends an inordinate amount of energy avoiding hard things and trying to find comfort. The magic lies in letting go of the "hard is bad" mindset and enjoy the journey of difficult things. What was perceived as miserable (water on trail) becomes just another way to enjoy the trail. Is it hard physically? Yep. I wouldn't want it any other way.
Leave it to you yo notice how good the cold water feels on your sore feet... as you trudge through the mud. Your attitude is always on the positive things... which has helped you get over and through many obstacles for so long. You are a super conqueror! (Biblical reference intended). God bless you. You are inspirational! 💪👊🙏😊
Wow look at you! 😮 That's some nasty trail walking and could be a bit dangerous. Be careful though with high water and streams. Thanks for sharing the tree root system. That's totally amazing! We definitely live in a beautiful world. ❤ Happy hiking to you! Be careful, stay safe and enjoy your Hike. 🙏
You are doing great at embracing the suck lol. Might as well make the best of it. You have turned into a Real hiker lol. I still like looking back at your beginning hike and compair to now. You have grown lol. So good you are doing.
Spelunking!

I pray you and all the remaining AT hikers ate beyond the flooding in Vermont.
Yes we are ahead of it.
Just be aware, Maine has some nasty streams that have become rivers.
You are doing great at embracing the suck lol. Might as well make the best of it. You have turned into a Real hiker lol. I still like looking back at your beginning hike and compair to now. You have grown lol. So good you are doing.
I hope you were somewhere safe during all the rain that caused the flooding. You are doing great!
Yes we were always one day ahead of the flooding
Stay safe up there.
way to go 19 miles in all that muck and water. you are doing so great.
Almost 20 miles - awesome!
Your in Vermont already that's awesome. Yeah they say that Vermont is very muddy. Take care and be safe 🙂🙂
Hope you got someplace high and dry before the real flooding started.
You are really going to appreciate cement sidewalks 😂❤
😂😂😂😂
Almost 20 miles, in the mud, like it was nothing! I hope you are safe in these floods!
That was a Beaver hut.. that’s where they live..
Superhiker 💙
They say it's a once in a thousand year event.
I bet you wish the rain picked a different year.😢
I sure do lol
Yeah, that’s soggy for sure!
The sloshing sound of the mud and water makes me cringe. I cant imagine actually trudging thru it. Way to go!
Moose almost always come out at dawn and dusk.
That is not fun!
