    I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel, Taylor! I watched your last full thru-hike video and haven't stopped watching since! I'm 21, and recently the urge to pack up and just get out in the wild has hit me. I used to love short little day hikes (little to no elevation, short 1-2 mile trails max), but I've been itching to start hiking wayyy longer. I've worked up from 1 mile with mild elevation being tough to 3 miles with lots of elevation change being easy breezy. I'm hoping to thru-hike "rocksylvania" on the AT in a few years! Some of my family lives about an hour from Delaware Water Gap, so I could I have a big goal to do a thru-hike of Laurel Highlands PA 70-0 by the time I turn 23!
    I'm so excited to see you finish the AT again! I enjoy how realistic you are. Not every day is going to be great, but you make the best out of it and push on. You're such an inspiration and I can't wait to see what you conquer next! You're doing amazing! Keep on pushing, one step closer to Katahdin every day

    There was a bridge that was out on the river this morning, and if the water was high you wouldnt be able to cross there, so that makes sense. The AT is not the best part of new york hiking for sure. Adirondacks, Catskills, Hudson Highlands much more worth the trouble. Taconics are fun.

    I love the “Good Morning” at the start of so many episodes. So cheerful and so happy.
    When I hike my favorite trail south of Syracuse, in Upstate NY, I would hike early morning and have a grand time using my pole, like you did, to brake the webs. Not particularly fun, but the beautiful trail is amazing.

      I was told to always avoid raccoons in the day when I was a kid. They were most likely very old or sick. On at least one occasion it proved true. The poor thing wandered right up to us at a construction site without realizing we were there till within feet of us. Then it turned away and walked over to a nearby tree and laid down. When we packed up to leave about 2 hrs later we went to check it out and it had died.
