Take care of you.. body and spirit! Be safe and feel better!✌️🙂❤️

Hey Grace! I just discovered your channel and your videos are really inspiring. I've been planning a thru-hike of the AT for a few months now and yes... I have Crohn's disease. I'm looking forward to binging all your videos and hopefully I'll learn a few things about managing symptoms on the trail. I also find our gear choices hilariously similar...I'm using the new BA Tiger Wall 2p with a Hyperlite pack and want to switch to the Durston X-Mid Pro 1p for the Thru-Hike.

It's worth the climb.Its good for ur cardiovascular and for ur blood pressure and things.I,m 63 and purposely look for climbs.So keep going when u can.

I just discovered your channel again with the video prior to this one. Subscribed last year, but for some reason didn't get notifications and didn't realize you had hit the trail again this year. I'll go back and watch your 2024 hikes, and look forward to whatever you do in the future. It seems your chronic health challenges have improved. In this video you look so healthy, even though you've recently been sick. I hope you'll be able to meet the goals you've set for yourself, even if you have to do them solo. I admire your tenacity. May God bless and protect you as you continue your journey.

Sorry to hear about Joe's knee. Have you done the Smokies? I don't remember that if you have. Keep us posted!

I watched this because you mentioned Glasgow and then was shocked to see me in your video since it was only posted 3 days ago!? Where are you and Texoma now?

It is good to see you back on the trail. Does Texsoma ( or is it Texoma ) have a youtube channel ?

It was really beautiful up there. Sweet hike this day… heck yeah… ten miles, mostly climbing would kick anyone’s butt. Thanks Gal for the awesome views!✌️🙂💚

The views were amazing. Thank you so much for allowing us alongside. It means the world to me! Poles safely down wherever you are.✌️🙂💚

Thank you for sharing your Triple Crown Experience with us. My brother and I had planned to leave on the 15th October last year, to do the Triple crown Loop. I was hit suddenly with Guillain Barre and hospitalized on the 8th.After five months in rehab, I am walking again. You’ve helped me realize that I won’t give up… going to do that loop. Thank you! ✌️🙂💚

Sweet hike. Four Pines Hostel is beautiful. Views were awesome!✌️🙂💚

So awesome!!! Great hike! Loved the pics! Love the smiles!!!✌️🙂💚

That was actually once the Bedford, Virginia Air Force Station on Apple Orchard Mountain that you hiked by, which has been closed down now for quite a few years, since 1975. It had a two lane bowling alley and other amenities to keep the men entertained. It was very cool! It now is maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Those mountains (that you questioned) were the Peaks of Otter! Sharp Top and Flat Top! You were practically in my backyard!

Hate to see the clear cutting.

Hard to imagine it was chilly. Miss ol Yardbird 😁

Just finished that section. Dragon's Tooth was challenging but a lot of fun as well.

I didn't recognize it until you gave a hint and then I knew it immediately!

Oh my gosh that's some wild weather! Horrible to be in, but it made for some great video!

Just hiked the VA triple crown with some friends from KS. We stayed at the Pickle Branch Shelter our first night out. Did trail magic after our hike just north of the Audie Murphy memorial.

Nope, brave.

You make my day! Hang in there! ❤

You're back! Wow. You are one brave person. Looking forward to following you no matter how far you go. You were an absolute trooper last year and I'm sure you will be this year too! Good luck.

I hope you feel better. I’m sure it’s hard having to struggle in doing something that you love so much. Thank you, for yet another struggle, in taking us along. Wishes for much light and love!✌️🙂❤️

Great video,I enjoyed it. Feel better 🌿🍃

Hey Gal…. Great job!! So stoked to see you two back on trail!!✌️🙂❤️

Happy to see you hiking again.

So great to see you!!

Hey there Mouse Whisperer! Just hiked that section a few weeks ago. Finished at VA 630 and plan to head back up and continue on in a couple of weeks. Hope you and Tex are doing well and enjoying the trail!

Good to see you! 😺

Excited for you!

Thank you for all that you do. You are as always inspiring. I had been training with my brother to do the VA triple crown. I have AS so training was an absolute necessity. Shortly after you had to leave the trail, I caught the flu. I was feeling better, then the very rare Guillain Barre took me down unable to move anything below my diaphragm. I’ve only shared this to reflect how much your videos mean to me. Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you hike the AT again!✌️🙂❤️

Great choices Grace! Looking forward to following you!🥾🥾😎🏕️

It looks good! Looks like you are ready 🤞

Liked you clothing rundown! When will you do the Smokies? I know you haven't done them yet. Looking forward to watching!

So pretty!

Lady get real, you’re safer on the trail than you walking down the sidewalk of your local sidewalk!

Try out the Lite AF packs they are like a dream on your back!

What you need is a UGQ 950 quilt that is a dual person quilt with a man that is a heat blanket

I have both tents and have added the X Mid pro 2 + which I love.

Nice seeing you! Hope all is well!

Does Patrick count as a sketchy person or wildlife?

its a shame they knocked it down.

A Brand New Unised Day. Have a great hike!

Nice video! Gread advice! Perhaps edit your intro shot from your 2023 Thru Hike to your AT Section Hike?

Great video! Outstanding points! Thanks for sharing. 🥾🥾🏕️😎

Your example vids were cracking me up! Great info!

Nice. Thanks for trying the X-Mid :) I hope it works well. Good luck on the AT!

I have a 30 inch wide pad. It's heavier but I have arthritis and anything smaller is impossible. I don't know how anyone could sleep on a 20 inch wide pad. 25" is better but barely.

Excellent video! Super happy you’re getting back on the trail!🥾🥾🌈
