After hearing a lot about rocks in PA and nearly nothing about NY, I'm convinced that NY has a much better pr dept.

You never know what magic awaits you. Enjoyed the hike today.

Nice day on the trail plus trail magic at RPH shelter. Keep on hiking👍

Pretty cool how people that live on the trail that accommodates the hikers! Nice water source on here! Nice lake and beach! Great views!! Love the 911 Honor on the rock!! Great video!!!

Congrats on entering NY! Wow at the rock climbs!

Trail doesn’t seem to be as well maintained as the southern trail.

You are guys are doing great!! Watching bluegrass come up those rocks his pack seems to be moving side to side a lot. Should it be tighter or does he prefer it looser? I would be afraid it would throw me off balance moving side to side, but I’m watching from my couch and you guys have put in almost 1500 miles so you know best. I was just curious. Hike on heading north we will see you when you get here 😊

I lost my headlamp there last year. Good stay though.

Telephone of the wind. What a great idea. There are a number of them across the country. There is an email address even. Google it. Hike safely neighbor.

The view of lake Canopus was nice. I could hear the people on the beach plainly. I've seen that phone of the winds on many videos and people using it. The trail magic at your campsite looked good. Sparks must've really flown to finish in four months. I've only seen one video where a guy made it in four months. He was a retired Marine. Glad Bluegrass is doing well and you too. Happy trails.

Nice Zero, deserved, whether you feel it was needed or not. Glad Bluegrass is ok and hope the meds clear up the issues. Take care of those hot spots

According to another hiker I am following this year, WaffleHikes, there once was a forge located somewhere in that area, pack teams were used to drag or move materials along this elevated wall. Waffle Hikes, is hiking the AT this year with his son, Hawk Eye, they are both from NC. And they seem to be within a day or two of you and BlueGrass. Maybe you'll get to meet them.

Ihs must be bad; I hear them trying to get on camera😅.

Time to place another marker on the map…”THE WALL”.

I remember seeing several rattlers on the “flat” part of the trail and wanted to ask if you came across any that were sunning themselves on the climb up those rocks.

It’s the 150 anniversary of the telephone this summer. Big celebrations at the Bell Homestead in a month. I don’t think I have ever been on a rocky trail like your on. Have a great day

There are people that due care! Thanks Bandit

I was wondering how people that hike in the winter find their way with snow on the trail. Guess you dont have to worry about that now.

👋👋👋👋👋 happy trails ☺

Two exceptional tough guys, heading north.

Hi Chuck hope you’re doing well. I am way behind on viewing your outstanding videos. I’m training for 100 mile hike next month. Compton Gap to Mason Dixon Line. Take Care and God Bless

Glad Bluegrass is getting taken care of, You both deserve a zero, you both are kicking it good anyway!! Great video!!

Glad you guys are sticking together. You are really good for one another. You both could probably use a break from the rocks. Take care of that poison oak and let that ankle get some rest.

Lucky Har

The Hudson River views are spectacular. I had thought the AT went near Sleepy Hollow which is actually more than twenty miles downstream. So we didn't get to see a headless horseman, but you can't have everything.

Thanks for the update. Take care.

So glad you are taking the zero, for both of your safety. Never a good time to need medical care, but good that you were in the vicinity of an urgent care...

Goes back to the gold standard; Safety First!

♥♥

Great content. You guys are Slaying It !!!! Keep up the good work.

Thanks appreciate update of course, glad for bluegrass, please what mile are ya, heading north

Good that bluegrass went and got checked out and got meds. Wise decision. Now you guys can hike and not have to worry. Very nice campsite. Take care.

Wow. ♡

Glad your didn't get hurt in either of your falls. I understand fully what you mean about not trusting your gear. I messed up my ankle a couple months back when I just planted my foot the wrong way in a rocky section and now I'm very gunshy about doing it again. Not sure that any shoe is super grippy on wet rocks but I got a pair of Topo Traverses in the hopes that they provide better traction than I've been getting - they are well rated for that. I'm excited to see you guys making it into territory I'm familiar with. Shame you were socked in atop Bear Mountain as the views there are superlative. I've never climbed that mountain on the east side of the bridge but I know it's a tough one. There are rattlers through the CT section though they are rarely seen. Probably a few up in southern MA as well then you should be done with them. We have had some nasty fronts move through here in north central CT and I'm sure you've been hit with a couple this week. Hope to see you weathered them ok in future installments. You guys are doing great!

Beautiful sunrise. Congrats 1400 hiking 🥾 AT

Can't you get a pair of your original shoes sent to a post office for the north along the way?

I’m not watching this one yet. I’m only on day 23 of your journey! Just wanted to pop in and say glad you’ve made it! I’ll catch up with the videos as I can. I’m sure you’ll be quite done and back home by that time though! 😂

Too bad the weather didn't allow you the views you wanted to see. At least yo got the BEAR Necessity LOL!! Great video!!

Glad you got your hat back! A fast sit-down, I'll have to remember that one. Better than a face plant. Thanks for the video.

them ole cane breaks will give ya heart attack. other ppl call them timbers.

Nice snake chuck! Hick safe.

Beautiful rattler.

Thanks for video, just wish could figure where you are,o’well

@14:58 OH MY! 🏃🏃‍♀🏃‍♂

I feel like my Altra Lone Peaks (as much as I do love them) also don’t give me super grip in wet conditions.

Cut your lose, get out of those shoes,not worth it,later, heading north

watching now ☺

I haven’t watched this in full yet, but in the opening clip I saw the bridge over the Hudson! How exciting!!

16 miles through that is darn good. Congrats on 1400! I'm considering doing that area myself sooner than later and have been reading some comments on FarOut disparaging all the difficult rocky ups and downs. I chuckled when you said "Really?" when looking up at one such section. I said that myself multiple times last week when on Mount Monadnock in NH.

Did that section in 2022. As I watched the video it all came back to me. My adrenaline was so high, when I got to the end of "The Knife's Edge" all of sudden I relaxed and started to slowly fall backwards onto a rock. A Hiker named "Candyman" was right behind me, caught my pack, and eased me down to sit on the rock. He came down around to the bottom and said, "Hi, I'm Candyman. You want a Jolly Rancher." BCM
