A crazy, abrupt change of scenery! | CDT Days 122-123

[@DavidHall-d8q]

I'm kind of a silent observer of you and your friends . I myself have had a blessed life..seen many things and been many places ( on my motorcycles ) and feel very lucky to sit now that I'm gotten older and can spend time just remembering what I've done and seen . I've seen over 150 concerts from Chuck Berry , The Eagels and Fleetwood Mac to Pearl Jam , Soundgarden , Ministry , Tool and The Red Hot Chili Peppers ( 92' Lollapalozza in Orlando Fl. ) . I love the Festivals and saw wth First Rocklahoma with Pat Benetat , Sammy Hagar , VanHalen and the Doobie Brothers and 4 TEXXAS Jams . I LOVE MUSIC ... Enjoy your life ( like you are doing ) so when you are older like me you have great things to remember . PK

[@DinoH8sU]

Hell yeah!

[@RickINFJ]

8:00 😮 Your red fleece against the aspen backdrop! The colors were magic. Bless those 2 women for the H2O. Rest well 9L ✌️

[@ronmerrell5426]

That Mesa is Pedernal Mountain, made famous in a painting by Georgia O'Keeffe. You will see it for many miles as you hike south.

[@757Adventurer]

I’m so gonna miss your post when you’re done… when they were coming daily that was incredible. They turned into every four or five days, we get used to something being a part of your life. Love watching you hike.

[@perfectweather]

[@e-zrocksgodbox4221]

Thank you for documenting your journeys. Living vicariously through your posts has saved my sanity while off trail, 100% without a doubt! You rock❤ thank you a million times!!!

[@charlesjohnson9662]

I think the CDT crosses the San Pedro Park Wilderness Trail outside of Cuba. The last time I was in that area we saw a herd of Elk do be on the lookout! Beautiful country.

[@SnowboardJedi]

That was a Grey Wolf howling! Super cool!!

[@stuartrollings602]

Actually a coyote…no wolfs down this far.

[@deannefalise2784]

My biggest advise for when you do the AZT is to filter from those cow ponds. That source was nice that you passed up. You won't get much better on parts of the AZT.

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdy Kelly! Y’all are killing it with the aspens! Great timing! Ghost Ranch is awesome n glad y’all got to stay there. I have spent a lot of time in that area and Georgia loved the light for painting! Have fun and stock up on water the rest of the way!

[@hoodlam1]

It’s great hanging with you guys around the fire and enjoying breakfast.

[@julesmcsmith]

Beautiful scenery. The aspens make an amazing backdrop!! Love following your journey!! 💕

[@RidgeWalker8414]

9Lives, those cattle enhanced water sources you are passing up are mostly what you get in NM. There will come a time when you will consider them a 'good' source so might as well start getting used to them now. Stay safe and enjoy the thicker air and warmer temps!

[@dtaylor10chuckufarle]

"cattle enhanced" - love it! 🐄

[@kevinmurphy5613]

Hi Kelly! Just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed following you on the CDT! I look forward to each video to see nature's beauty through your eyes. Take care and stay safe!

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

Ghost Ranch! What a find and it is just what y’all needed!

[@glennwilson6249]

It’s like a Bob Ross painting 😊😊

[@nolas5638]

I’ve really been enjoying following your journey! I know the water situation was tough early on this day but what an amazing day. It looked like the trail provided for you guys… awesome! So cool to be able to stay at the historic Ghost Ranch and your friends totally came through with that resupply. I hope the rest of the trip goes well for you guys & safe travels! ❤

[@RebekahCallen19]

Gorgeous weather and scenery. NM is beautiful 🌄

[@susansharp112]

Kelly the filming of the aspen was stunning. Thank you

[@martinmoss317]

7:24 - if that's a cow, it's got a funny shaped udder! 🤣

[@jemezray1660]

Welcome to New Mexico. We're glad you're here. Stay Safe.

[@dtaylor10chuckufarle]

So many kind and generous souls on the CDT!

[@marysiajastrzebski2523]

I thought about your crazy hike while on my daily hike IN the almost dry bed of the Buffalo River. You are missing incredibly beautiful fall here, but, the aspens and scenery you have been surrounded by are amazing!

[@aliciageth8033]

Beautiful! I am going to miss you videos when you guys are done!😊

[@dougboyd7732]

I love the West so much, Montana was my favorite. The Tetons took my breath away as I've never seen mountains like that. Keep on hiking, and make sure you avoid the nope ropes=snakes

[@kennethschaidle5995]

Beautiful scenery. Incredible hiker. Totaly beautiful lady. What more could a viewer ask for.

[@jamesjustin5095]

Fun seeing you all having fun!

[@troyfarris9542]

Just goes to show that...angels take care of angels 😇. Hydration and some nabs go a long way 😮. Keep on trekking yall.. been here for the whole journey and 😊 thanks ❤

[@user-David-Alan]

Wow! Northern New Mexico is beautiful. Have fun and stay safe. Thanks for the videos.

[@e-zrocksgodbox4221]

[@bill13900]

The landscape is so beautiful! Great videos!

[@michaelbailot5479]

Ponderosa pine.

[@sapoverde65]

Glad you slowed down and are enjoying the experience, take twice the amount of water you think you need.desert climate will dehydrate you quick.❤

[@Jllcountry5118]

Your videography thru this whole series has been awesome!! Thank you for capturing everything. 💪 keep goin. ❤ those aspens!! What a yellow pop

[@jimscott2998]

I agree with ronmorell54, the scenery is calendar quality, pics taken to be included in the October November month on your fav calendar. Be grateful for the heat, keep remembering November/February is coming👍🏼

[@sabijoli]

if you’re reluctant to filter with a sawyer, i’d see if you can find a grayl because that will allow you to filter from disgusting water sources with a bit more confidence.

[@davidcox9115]

Always enjoy your adventures, beautiful places thank you. Keep on keepin on !!!

[@miscbs]

Those aspens @8:50 and those cottonwoods @13.:27😍

[@jenniferbyrd1970]

Such beautiful scenery in this video. God is the BEST artist!!! Stay safe ❤

[@billinroswellga5432]

🎉I'm on a road trip, hit Pagosa Springs tonight, so a few days behind you guys. Ironically just met a couple coming from Chama. The weather is kinda looking like it won't be bad where you are now on Tuesday/Wed. Good thing you're not NOBO post-holing through snow!

[@jamesf4405]

Great video! Love seeing a new video from you. I'm going to be very sad when you're finished. 😢

[@bernardfleming5867]

Incredible, Can’t be a Hike now, a Journey is more like it. What’s next? The Silk Road? Wonderful videos, we have been enjoying since the 1st days of your AT.😊😊

[@jackgill2501]

Kelly, Good evening! Another awesome couple of days, thank you! The landscape sure has changed but still beautiful. Take care and safe travels!

[@garylafreniere9194]

I love you, Kelly. Have a beautiful day Gary.

[@RolandKrastins]

Yellow birch trees were beautiful! And now your in the desert 🏜 staying in Ghost Ranch ! Very New Mexico Town!😅

[@darrell9546]

You were close to artist Georgia O'Keefe's home while at Ghost Ranch. Cool place.

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

Glad you were able to get some good clean water for the rest of that day. I would have a hard time drinking water with cows poo in it🥹🤢 Ghost ranch looks so interesting! Can’t wait to hear about it 💗😊

[@johnsandell4501]

Nice package👍👍👍

[@matthewmcguire5217]

Would love to hear how you and your friends manage taking time for this when you are all done. I think it’s great you are taking the time to have these experiences when you are young and fit. Do you work for two or three years and save for the next big adventure - how do you make life work when these trips are all done?

[@sammymartinez556]

Wow Kelly u guys r really close to where I leave wish I could have met u ..😊

[@robinaevans5090]

Beautiful!

[@_Boregard_Rippy_]

... LiL' Red Riding Hood ..YA" sure been lookin' good ..!

[@shannonchic]

Love your videos. I would be so happy if you would show more clips eating around the table and socializing. Don’t get it wrong because I love the scenery too. Just a balance would be great. 😊

[@SalPane1224]

Wow new Mexico , keep massaging where you are at

[@thuthiehiker]

Water. God provides. Always.❤

[@kevincrooks639]

If you can get a New Mexico style cheeseburger at a Blake's. Very tasty with the hatch chile.

[@perfectweather]

Watched again 👋 Great video, thanks 👍

[@perfectweather]

Great video, thanks 👍

[@dlewis3970]

Watch out, room 21 in the dorms has bed bugs!!

[@keitheverhart9556]

I am really enjoying the scenery on the CDT. But, sometimes my dad/Grandpa mode kicks in and I worry about you. Take care of yourself out there.

[@SKY317ROGUE]

Hey Kelly, have you been using a footprint with your x-mid on the CDT?

[@johnwakefield9378]

Gods country, been spending time east of you near Taos and angel fire. Love nm calm pretty life.

[@travissapp4961]

❤❤❤

[@renoflames]

COOL VIDEO

[@itsallgood109]

Lots of us and we now🤔

[@JoeyJackson-200T]

Wow, what luck you’re having on this leg of the trip

[@marysiajastrzebski2523]

So pretty! What happened with Peg Leg and Syrup???

[@kellyhays23]

Hiked ahead. They are in more of a hurry to finish than we are as we approach the end

[@jamiedean3558]

I’m a new subscriber and have enjoyed watching the videos. Have you came close to any mountain lions or bears on your hike?

[@deannnerem6589]

I am saying a Grayl water filter will solve your cow pond water issue.

[@a.ramosakadrumgrl6677]

How many miles do all of you have left? What’s the countdown to reach the southern terminus?

[@JohnsTinyWoodshop]

I ate a grilled cheese sandwich while watching this

[@motherdaughtertravels]

How is your leg doing?

[@dlewis3970]

Start carrying more water from now on. Once you're in the desert, it gets even worse. Learn to like the cow water.

[@kellyhays23]

No one on this trail is drinking the cow water that was featured in this video lol

[@rockercover]

6:32 😳‼️😊

At 6:18 I read your comment, 6:32 is beautiful ❤️

Kelly-what neck knife do you use?

[@GlennMainemanJohnson]

She used to carry an MT knives Genesis. I carry the same one and love it. Not sure if that's what she is still using.

[@ljpugsley2757]

@GlennMainemanJohnson thanks, Sir.

[@adventurebythemile]

Who all is left in your group?

[@linettelupinacci7750]

I am wondering that too. What happened to Peg and Syrup?

[@rubyclaire8807]

@@linettelupinacci7750 She commented that they hiked ahead. They are in more of a hurry to finish than she is as they approach the end.

[@guillermodelnoche]

I’m surprised that you don’t have a camel pack in your backpack. I take one on simple walks due to having severe dehydration living at 7000 feet. Beautiful scenery! You are entering my state of New Mexico. Safe travels!

[@adventurebythemile]

If you filter the water you will be fine. I’ve drank worse.

[@wolfetrax6217]

Guardian Angels…

[@forrestwhite8052]

Trust in God, but keep your powder dry.

[@dlewis3970]

The further south you go in New Mexico the more you have to deal with cow water. Get use to your water tasting like caw patties. Not even water flavoring can hide that taste!

[@crazyblade8991]

Back in the day, how many people got sick drinking cow water

[@stratocasterblue]

Cows are vegetarians so they shouldn't carry e-coli you probably wouldn't get sick from it but Im not drinking it, You can tho
