Such a joy to meet you and send you off to Beautiful Washington ! My 89 yo mom said to say hello and to keep placing one foot in front of the other 🤗. She was thrilled to hear you liked her cobbler recipe! Blessings and peace dear friends.

[@demelar]

So so good!

[@lynnedmiston5237]

Thanks to your Mom for advice and the cobbler recipe!

[@michelleoglesbee-flores3648]

Thank you for another wonderful, inspiring video. You three are amazing!

[@carmenibarra4243]

Thanks for sharing your strategies for overcoming fatigue. 👍

[@journeyoflovelight]

I appreciate that you talk about the mental side of a long trip. So good to see you guys. Perfect way to start my day. Have a good day. Safe travels friends..- Melanie 🦋

[@janmariolle]

I appreciated hearing about working with fatigue. Witnessing your difficult days makes the easy ones so much sweeter.

[@idahoadventures5936]

The Wise Wander Women once said, the only way out is through. I use this mantra often on my difficult day hikes. You all are inspiring in so many ways. You got this

[@SusanLeaA]

What a sweet little town! Thank you for taking me with you.. You all got this! Can't wait for the next one!

[@joeyblueeagle2707]

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL. Wonderful nature scenes. "....hiking, it's like life, it has it's ups and downs...." LOVE YOUR HIKING PHILOSOPHY. SO MANY TRAIL ANGELS. TAKE CARE.

[@hf3490]

Well I’m sitting here watching our little Canadian girl win gold at the Olympics and get notified WW posted a video. Well, that’s it for Olympics for now. Had to watch you ladies. You all deserve the gold. I’m sure it’s such a mental game and all three of you have the ability to get past those daunting thoughts. Washington sure looks beautiful and that little town looks awesome. Doesn’t the kindness of others make your heart swell! Stay safe and healthy. 🤓🇨🇦

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

[@karengrimm4020]

You are all amazing! Thanks for taking us along!

[@shokot3546]

Wow that waterfalls was 💯🙌🏼💚

[@barb0138]

I am practicing and this weekend I hiked 9 miles up and down hills with an extra 15 lbs on my back and I just don't know how you girls do it. My goal is to be able to do what you do. You are all very inspiring to me. Thanks so much and take care of yourselves.

[@demelar]

If you stay with it, you'll succeed. Good luck.

[@sandrap3047]

Congratulations on 900 miles & making it to Washington! So cool to see you ladies crossing the Bridge of the Gods!

[@paulaj7682]

Great video as always. And great life advice... whatever path you take. Holy cow those falls were otherworldly! The scenery you've managed to capture along the trail has been spectacular. Thank you for sharing your magic with us.

[@helenvwalker7919]

Most of us would have got tired well before 900 miles. Keep going!!! "Paso a paso" as people say here where I live......I count in hundreds. Just get to the next 100 and then carry on....It helps that you have each other.❤️

[@ramillematsoukis6020]

Thanks for the ‘self talk’ advice. I live in Florida, and your motivation is so helpful to get through the heat and humidity outdoors. Wishing you continued success. With much love.

[@humbird5732]

Ladies, you are still out there on the trail.🤪 There are some much younger, less experienced, that have given up due to lack of experience and coping techniques. You are the inspiration for thousands of want-to-be’s

[@kimgrant4975]

On a day when I needed to smile, you three made that happen. Thanks ladies! Namaste

[@gypsygirl6887]

Congratulations on miles and Washington!! Oh my goodness.. the ferns, the other foliage, the views and falls!! Amazingly beautiful! Blessings to the angels and that they continue to be there for you all!! Stay safe!

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

Panther Creek falls looked fantastic and the flower shot at 14:56 was very artistic. Nothing matches the beautiful town smiles though.

[@elisaadams2292]

You might not, understandably, be “YeeHaw” all the time but you are forever “WaWo”!

[@wanderingoutyonder]

Those waterfalls were just breathtaking! You ladies are so fortunate to be experiencing life the way it was meant to be, and it is so wonderful that you share with all of us!

[@spurgecochran2738]

So very cool, living the dream on hot days, ~never quit on a hard day~ Thanks for the gem!

[@mikeakafrostyhumphreys6993]

Washington is my favorite hiking state, i personally rate it above Colorado , utah and several states on the AT your looking good please remember long distance hiking is a mental game, hang tough and keep on steppin 👣

[@kellyburnette1900]

I so appreciate your honesty and wisdom on combating hiker fatigue and burnout! Great tips!

[@jonilund1464]

Thank you, thank you for sharing your incredible journey with us. I do have a few friends that have done the PCT. But have not documented it I like you have. It’s so wonderful to feel like we are part of your journey. Take care , and looking forward to the next leg of the hike.

[@melissabarfield126]

I love hearing about all the great people you've meeting. Another great video!

[@tammystringer4044]

Way to keep going. Canada 🇨🇦 is waiting on you. Be safe. Be strong. Hike on!

[@TheDen2022]

Such beautiful scenery. I'm enjoying this journey with the 3 of you. You 3 inspire me so much. Take care of yourself out there and enjoy the hike. You 3 are truly amazing 👏

[@gaylewalker4239]

Beautiful, beautiful area. You get through it. Even when it's hard. Keep going. Sometimes life is hard but you keep going. Beautiful falls. Must have been magnificent to be there is real life. Keep trekking. 😀

[@YellowRoseoftx]

Congratulations on 900 miles and crossing to WA! it’s sooo beautiful! The mountains in Washington are stunningly beautiful so enjoy and take care😎🌺🐻🦌🏔TX

[@rrichardson53]

Loved watching this as you were in my “neck of the woods”...we hike with our dogs in the gorge and cross the Bridge of the Gods multiple times a week. Love Troutlake as well. Great music and the beargrass was lovely!

[@sigyn57]

My husband and I started watching you just after you left Southern OR. I wish we had discovered your videos earlier so we could have met you on Mt Ashland! We love to hike and you are such an inspiration. Looking forward to your next video. 🥰

[@cinnamongirl68]

Welcome to my state!

[@brendawyant5321]

The falls were beautiful! Glad you took us along!

[@Mountaingirl1876]

Such a different environment than the Colorado mountains. so green and tropical. 😊stellar scenery as usual! You all look good!

[@johnwinnie6265]

I want to thank you again for informing us on how to get our supply boxes when you saw us knocking on the Ale House door when it was closed. That saved us a bunch of time. We did have time to get an ice cream cone. Couldn't pass that up.

[@sbishop16]

🥰 One thing I found self-starters have in common, was described to me by my Mother. Not going into a long history but she said “ You do what you Have To do, when you reach that point the “Have To” just kicks in and you just do it”. Well done ladies and I enjoy watching your adventures, wherever they take you!

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

Love it

[@kellyjohnson3617]

You are in my old stomping grounds where I grew up. We would spend an entire day in the roofs behind our house snd never need to come home for lunch for all the berries. Lots of water snd lots of ferns snd moss. It’s not called the evergreen state for nothing. Watch out for the unexpected cold overnight as you get in higher elevation. Lots of condensation on the tents snd sleeping bags but it’s stunning country.

[@demelar]

Looking forward to those cooler nights!

[@dianediane1245]

Love all the green!💚🌲💚 How about spending extra time sleeping and resting? Would that help?

[@StepsbyKaatje]

I lived in Washington for a year, so I know how beautiful it is out there, even without hiking... 😁 You girls keep going, even when the going gets tough! 👍 Good to know that feeling will pass! 😁 Enjoy your break at the church! All the best! Kaat

[@maggiehogland1891]

Awwwww - you got to meet my friend Gary H. Truly a kind soul and one heck of a fisherman. I think of him and smell sweet wise pipe smoke. 😊❤️😊

[@TAMcAlister]

You have some great scenery coming up. Once beyond Trout Lake (and some huckleberry pancakes at the Station Cafe (or milkshake)), there will be some amazing vistas until you get to Canada. And the water!! That can be your inspiration on a tough day, though I think you got yourselves covered.

[@demelar]

The huck pancakes we loved!

[@gerilos9802]

900 miles, great! No wonder that you're all beat, but you keep going. Your advice for those times is right on the money. Life is ups and downs, keep going. I also do a lot of self talk. Lynn's hint was good, put yourself somewhere else in your mind. Beautiful scenery, can't believe your phone takes such wonderful pics and video. Glad you got a lot of ice cream on this segment. Take care, be safe.

[@Pauline-qu9sg]

Welcome to my beautiful home state of Washington!

[@poerqwa]

Yep those berries really slowed us down as well :) But you cannot NOT eat them, they are so good. And nobody feels perky after the distance you did doing 20+ miles a day in WA!!! And trust me more WA beauty will follow but also tougher days :) Good going girls. Love your videos

[@terrilowry937]

So interesting to hear your comments on the self-talk when the going gets challenging. The glimpse of Mount St. Helen's took me back to graduate school when she blew! I was over 500 miles away in Missoula, MT.

[@norcalpublicwatch9314]

Magical :)

[@cindypayne9085]

WOW another trail us to explore! Keep hanging in there ….you ladies got this WaWo Style! ❤️

[@stanthemanhikes2965]

Congrats on getting to WA guys. What a great milestone to cross the Bridge of the Gods. The WA berries are huge and amazing. I have family there and have been enjoying the eats for years!!!

[@Snickers_GLNY]

Awesome stuff!!

[@zenandink3531]

Wonderful-and so beautiful😀

[@lovedogsontheloose]

Love your smiles! It’s contagious! Always so glad to see a post from you. Those falls were gorgeous. Lots of love !

[@BKKerr]

Thanks so much for taking us along! Beautiful country. I have a cousin in Bellingham is following you now too!

[@anitamckenzie4895]

What a beautiful video!! Thanks Ladies!!

[@morgaynelove9327]

How happy was I to see your vlog post where y'all had crossed the Bridge of the Gods! Welcome to Washington State! And greetings from the Olympic Peninsula! So sorry to hear the heat and trail are whoopin y'all. Sending love and light! 💛💛💛

[@tall14dude]

Very cool. Looks like tomorrow you'll be hiking around Mt Adams and soon into Mt Rainier area. I'm a local and have hiked all around those areas. There are some awesome views coming up!

[@kristiwittmann-sinklier9320]

Washington is so beautiful.

[@jodyhill6696]

Yay, for ice cream! I been watching and following ya’ll. I’m actually a few days behind you, hiking Washington section of the PCT. Enjoy your journey! 😊

[@barbarablanchard8153]

About 2 or 3 days away. Yeah

[@lindanix7617]

You ladies are just so sweet and appreciative( and badass).....that’s why you attract goodness!

[@robertbarnes6047]

My wife says no beds 🛌😃😃. The views going north will be awesome👍👍

[@sandrazern649]

Looks like you ladies are having so much fun and being so cared for! I was so happy to see Catmando at the end of your video! I believe is was a part of Frozen's (Outdoor Adventures) tramily from their 2019 AT hike. I hope all is well with him!

[@joanlocke867]

Love going along 🥾🥾from the treadmill in Iowa training for our Colorado Trail segments next month ❤️⛰🏕🥾🥾

[@samantham9175]

You have the best music in your videos!

[@JamesOfEarth]

The ladies at the store at Trout Lake tried to convince me to shower, but I was having none of it by that point! Great little town, but a quick in n out for resupply only. Nice reliving the trail through your eyes. Saunter on!!

[@marshamann6390]

Thanks guys,, g it

[@jenniferbostrom759]

Welcome to Washington!!!!!! When you get north look for Lopez Island ice cream 🍦 Watch out for that Devil’s Club 😣 but enjoy the blackberries they should be ripe going north until mid August!

[@jb2explore]

This makes me so want to hike with you!!

[@akashazza9994]

Welcome to my home state. Enjoy👍😊

[@Cgh432]

Nice job ladies 👍💥

As always, another great hikeumentary. I'm about to start this section, so it's timely. Btw ... You are all getting quite the fan club in the PCT groups. 👌

Have fun out there. We are loving Washington.

[@bernadinekosman9150]

My grandchildren ( 8 and 10) and I are are watching and enjoying your videos. We have some friends on the trail but they started at the bottom in California. Last week they were near Chester and trying to figure a way around the Dixie Fire Closure. The kids want to know what type of camera you are using to film your journey and videos. They asked if it was a GoPro camera, which they are familiar with. Thanks for including us on your journey! Thanks, Berni from Ohio

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

I use my phone a Samsung 10 and the Kinemaster app

Only 506 more miles! lol Not close to perky.

[@pupcamper58]

So beautiful 🤩

[@katrinkatakeshita2077]

I seriously missed you at Cascade locks by a couple days. 😩 I live in eastern Washington and stopped at the best western there on my way to the Oregon coast.

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

So sorry we missed you.

[@pamaladarsow2763]

Love you gals💗

[@theskyehiker]

I just sent a box to Stehekin, from my abode in Santa Cruz. I sent it to general delivery with eta of 8/19/21. Your actually names, not your current moniker WAWO! Hope you enjoy it.

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

Thank you

[@outdoorpilgrim2213]

You know you’re 100% guaranteed to see Kristy’s dimples if there’s ice cream!🍦

[@carolemurray4532]

What a gorgeous section! Trout Lake was your reward for a difficult, hot trek. What is the elevation of that section and do you know what those huge white flowers are called? The big ball shaped ones not the flat ones. I know what the flat ones are called. Gosh, I love watching you women. Wander on!

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

The flowers are called Bear grass

[@terris6322]

😊

[@IrishSuzyAM]

Maybe you should all do a few miles less one day if your bodies are really tired. Its important to listen to them.

[@demelar]

Agreed. We're watching it and being careful.

[@sethadams4871]

How do we send you a resupply box or gift you a hotel night? See you down the trail.

[@demelar]

Thanks for your generosity. Here in Washington, the fire situation is making our resupply plans and overnight stays a little bit iffy right now. Hooefully, we'll know more after this week.

[@sethadams4871]

@@demelar thanks Annette, just let us know when you’ve got it worked out. Great to see fellow Coloradans knocking it down and inspiring others to take a trek.

[@denisepersinger]

How were the bugs this time of year? I will be doing this section around the same time this year and was curious. thanks!

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

They weren't bad for us.

So glad the hike is going great!! PS: totally copied Annettes scrubby-gloves idea… brilliant!
