That looks like bear poop. Yikes. I guess a bear does poop in the woods lol. I love how passionate you are at signs and landmarks. You are so awesome.

[@hikingdancer]

I was thinking bear poop but it looked sickly

[@melshea2519]

Congrats on your epic journey from Georgia to Maine!!👍💃

[@hikingdancer]

[@timbrown177]

Hey that was a Great call not doing the notch, you 2 are getting it done we're so proud for you. You walk to Maine from Georgia, AMAZING !! Not to many can say they done that I can't. Be safe and thanks for sharing. P.S. it's ok to cry beautiful

[@hikingdancer]

It’s hard to be ok to cry

[@randypeterson4146]

Loved you getting emotional when you got to Maine...What you have accomplished has been incredible..I will be wiping tears with you on Katahdin..You Rock...

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@chuckmoseley1028]

L-O-V-E-D this video!! SOOOO proud of you!! You got a few tears from me when you crossed the Maine border. I was waiting for, "Eastern seaboard crossin!" You definitely nailed NH. Can't wait to see what happens in Maine. (hopefully Katahdin is summited and you're reading this from the comfort of home) ; )

[@hikingdancer]

Not done quite yet.

[@hikewithme59]

I’m thinking the same, they are close! I have watched a few others summit recently and I can’t hold back the tears! 🌵✌️

[@whatthefunkwasithinking7645]

CONGRATULATIONS Lady!!! Soak this last one in!!! LOVE the Blue Blaze'n Bonus Magic!!! ~Siesta

[@hikingdancer]

[@illinikina]

Wow!!! You walked to Maine! Amainezing! :D It’s a big deal, and you should enjoy it :) Those panoramas were fantastic-so beautiful! Thanks for doing the blue blaze and showing us what there was to see! TFTV :)

[@hikingdancer]

Awe thanks

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

You walked to Maine‼️👏👏👏 You were rewarded with many beautiful views today!

[@hikingdancer]

I was rewarded that day

[@cjengland2365]

Wow! When you got to Maine, I've never seen a smile that big! Congrats! You're doing great!

[@hikingdancer]

It was a big day

[@david_W5QDF]

Big Foot has been wondering where that sock was. Congrats on making it to Maine. Maine looks to be like Georgia, no switch-backs😢

[@hikingdancer]

Oh yeah true

[@hikewithme59]

Very beautiful video… beautiful views!! Yes, that is an emotional milestone, Georgia to Main 😮 you have worked hard, you deserve a tear😅 Thank you for sharing!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@HDCrumbsnatcher]

Congrats on reaching Maine! i hope groceries is feeling better

[@hikingdancer]

She is 🤗

[@melchurch3019]

I get so many smiles (and a few tears) from your videos. You are a highlight of my day. There is nothing better than a mountain top view and food graciously shared by fellow hikers.

[@hikingdancer]

So thankful to this comment

[@sunshinesill2720]

You made it to Maine!!! Congratulations! Keep crushing it!

[@hikingdancer]

Wheeeew

[@kylebeaty3079]

Dude, great job!!! You’re doing amazing, keep it up! You’re almost there!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@robertblack1373]

Wow the scenery is so beautiful amazing another state down congrats

[@hikingdancer]

It is beautiful

[@loiza59]

Outstanding accomplishment! Congratulations on making it to Maine! Godspeed all the way to Mt. Katahdin!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@luisahirsch5654]

Wow! Congratulations on reaching Maine! I don't blame you for getting emotional. It is such an amazing accomplishment! Beautiful views! I think you made the right choice about waiting on Mahoosic Notch for the next day to be well rested before hiking it (I know I probably totally messed up the spelling of the notch lol). I am glad you enjoyed the Whites of New Hampshire! New Hampshire is such a beautiful state! I hope to get to travel to New Hampshire in a few years again!

[@hikingdancer]

New Hampshire is a lovely place

[@susietopspin]

Beautiful scenery and welcome to Maine. So amazing. Totally agree. Choose encouragement and not fear mongering. You’ve got this. Happy trails. 🤘🏻🥾🏕

[@hikingdancer]

Agreeeeeed

[@John_Stewart]

It's amazing to look behind at the mountains you have already done, and ahead to the mountains yet to climb. Very impressive miles -- a U.S. exploring expedition.

[@hikingdancer]

It really is the most rewarding to see what you’ve hiked

[@theladyshines.]

What a great video, I too shared a tear with you at the State Line, thats impressive isn't it, like you, you stop and think and wow its such a long long way and you've walked it and many bonus miles too, you'll remember this time in your life forever. Over the years I have seen many parts of the world that I would never have seen if it hadn't been for geocaching (which is how I started following Kaity and in turn you guys too); and following along here with you all has shown me another part of the world that I have not seen, not only that, its allowed me to see into the psyche of many different types of people. After the hike, I hope you get to upload more of your dancing videos, you are so graceful and talented, the little I've seen has been a treasure to watch. Greetings again from Australia and stay safe ladies :)

[@hikingdancer]

Wow! Thank you for such a thoughtful message. I’m hoping to show some more of my dancing but also would like to continue hiking

[@wanderingwithbob2472]

Congrats on getting to Maine. A huge milestone.

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@TheChantybb]

You’re in Maine!!!! Congrats!!! Wowww you are a super woman! I’m so proud of you!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@Calmjan]

Congrats on getting to your last state. The scenery was great. Keep on hiking and stay positive.

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@lark518Photo]

Beautiful views on this one, getting better and better enjoy and take your time you got this.

[@hikingdancer]

I’m enjoying

[@annegallagher4005]

I'm glad you came out of the mud with this "twisting" tip! I couldn't keep myself from crying as you entered Maine... you DI IT, so so proud of you! The next challenges will be a piece of cake for you! What a gorgeous side trail up the mountain, you got not only the views but great food with it AND you could join back together with Groceries! I was screaming at my laptop "no NO", when you said you might wanna do Mahoosuc Notch with the headlamps... wheew glad you didn't!! Can't wait to see the rest of the trail with you!

[@hikingdancer]

Yes No to doing the notch in darkness

[@spartyhikerfromme5492]

State Line Crossing! Welcome to my home state. You will certainly enjoy your stay. Once you clear the Mahoosucs there isn't anything terribly difficult and challenging, with just a few exceptions. Still, nothing like the climb up to the Wildcats. It's slow going in some spots due to exposed tree roots, but there are other segments where you can cruise. You will love the Bigelows. One of the best views in the entire state, not just the AT. Worth taking a zero for clear skies if necessary. To answer your question, that looks to me like bear scat. They generally leave a black colored blob that sometimes has the appearance of cranberry sauce due to the berries they eat. Very rare to see them on trail, it is more likely to see a moose. (Their poop is a pile of large brown colored nuggets.) BTW, there are no poisonous snakes in Maine. If you have time following your hike, swing by Acadia National Park on the way home. The two crown jewels of Maine are Katahdin and Acadia. Peace, Love and Kindness.

[@hikingdancer]

That would be lovely if I could stay a bit more

[@MrsJoyism]

That peak blue blaze was gorgeous!

[@hikingdancer]

It really was

[@wendypelaez9305]

Beautiful video.

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@bronashwright6689]

I would love to see you hike The Whites with Taylor the Nahamsha hiker! She loooooves the presidentials and is a NH expert - would be such a fantastic hiking duo! So proud of what you’ve achieved, looking forward to watching you smash out the miles to Katahdin!

[@hikingdancer]

I’d love to hike the Presidentials agai

[@stevematosky1086]

You have the best attitude for getting to Maine, keep on rocking it !!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you so much

[@elizabethcoates3916]

So glad you waited to do the notch in daylight. You and Groceries are doing really well, looking forward to following you to Katahdin.

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@lunajohnson8976]

LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO VERY INSPIRATIONAL You have inspired my friends and i to do the A T starting mid may next year.

[@hikingdancer]

That’s amazing! Yay

[@wthurman5910]

So proud of y'all. Welcome to Maine. Y'all killed the Whites. So many outstanding views 😍. I appreciate you taking us along on this epic journey 🙏🙏🙏❤️🥾🥾👏💪👍☕

[@hikingdancer]

Loved the Whites

[@richardross7219]

That same bog board has gotten a few hikers every year. Congrats on 13 states down. The notch is too dangerous to do when you're tired or at night. Another nice video. Good Luck, Rick

[@hikingdancer]

I was wondering how many people fell victim to that sneaky board

[@richardross7219]

@@hikingdancer One poor hiker needed 3 people to get her out in 2018. That board should have been replace in 2017. Good Luck, Rick

[@Whocares302]

You’re in my back yard :) welcome to Maine!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@hops4305]

I remember the day into ME. Muddy, wet, and dark. I think I got stuck in the same spot! Yes that is 💩.... Animal Doing the Notch and Arm in the same day really sucked carring gear in the 90s!!! Only thing that made that day awesome was getting to the AMC camp on Labor day and they were full. The camp host let us 3 camp with her for no price... I think she felt sorry for us... I Thank Her Every Day!!!!! North!!!+

[@hikingdancer]

That was nice of her

[@blu5307]

Gosh…almost done! Congrats on your awesome achievements so far! I hope Maine is a wonderful experience. You got this! 👍👍

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@mickybarrera3264]

That there was some Black Bear poop! Congrats on your arrival to Maine! Love your attitude and determination.

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@michaelbutler4961]

Bear scat for sure. Welcome to Maine, my home state. A bit of emotion and I can understand, you have come so far. Congratulations. Hike~~On~~>

[@hikingdancer]

It was a very emotional moment

[@chrislaz3230]

That's a real Big Deal! Georgia to Maine! Congrats!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@twofires3549]

WOW. Enjoyed.

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@catpatrick3838]

From what I've heard, Mahoosuc Notch is best done with plenty of daylight. That one "little" mile can take at least an hour. BTW that was moose or bear 💩 you discovered on the trail. Good you didn't step in it! 🤢😊 Less than 300 miles from the northern terminus! That is sooooo amazing. You and Groceries have so got this! 🙌🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻❤️

[@hikingdancer]

Yeah I’m Glad I did it I’m daylight

[@TexasRose684]

So exciting, y’all are rocking it. Maine at last ! Stay safe and enjoy! 😊

[@hikingdancer]

Maine is testing me

[@karencarpenter7894]

Congratulations 🎉 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Hug's

[@hikingdancer]

🥰🤗

[@brendajohnson7514]

Absolutely beautiful! You are awesome! Georgia to Maine!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@stone8654]

Congrats on hiking to Maine! Go Roadrunner Go! 🥾😎👍🏼

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@deborahs6978]

Another Congratulations - Georgia to MAINE!! You are so special and so many of us are enjoying your videos. Thanks for making the AT, even the tough parts, interesting, beautiful and fun. I am sure it is not always that way for you, but your positive attitude and strength shine through. Looking forward to checking in every day to see your progress. As always, THANK YOU for sharing your hike.

[@hikingdancer]

It’s not always easy. It’s often hard. But it’s a journey of a lifetime

[@glorgau]

There are no shortcuts on the road to Success!

[@hikingdancer]

Ain’t that the truth

[@patstreet6690]

Way to go making it to Maine.

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@plainsimple442]

Looked like bear scat. Welcome to vacation land!!!!!!!!!1

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@seymourtrails6485]

Sweet views! Good job!GS

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@petergrant9259]

Black Bear scat.

[@hikingdancer]

Ok

[@g.w.moorman3887]

Bear poop!!! When you gotta go, you gotta go... even a bear!

[@hikingdancer]

Lol indeed

[@iPlod]

Ayuh! Turns out, you CAN get theyah from heah! Hearty congrats on stepping over that state line and all that it required to get there. I hope that someday you no longer apologize for honest emotion. When you showed your freshly-freed foot (guess no one can call you a "stick in the mud"), I realized I don't remember the last time I saw your gaiters. What happened to them? Thanks for demonstrating that a hard day can also be a glorious day.

[@hikingdancer]

I left my gaiters with my mom once I switched to the Salomon shoes

[@kaiserwilhelmnh932]

The thing is the AT barely scratches the surface of what the White have to offer. There is well over a thousand miles of trails and the AT is but 150 of those. Just a reason to come back one day😀

[@hikingdancer]

Absolutely! I really loved New Hampshire

[@Yodie208]

It looks like a Cow Pie, I would guess it's from a Moose.

[@hikingdancer]

Mhhhh I was not sure

[@KatieValleyBourdeau]

That's the end of summer bear poop. Believe it or not it looks different other times.

[@hikingdancer]

Mhhhh ok I thought the bear had a tummy ache

[@AThike]

Great video! Would you consider interviewing Groceries? I would love to here her voice.

[@TexasRose684]

Debra Groceries has a channel also, Adventure Quencher.

[@hikingdancer]

Groceries has a KZbin called Adventure Quencher

[@kaiserwilhelmnh932]

Bear!

[@hikingdancer]

Ok cool

[@DASHToTheEnd]

Alrighty then! No more "state border crossings"! Congrats.😃

[@hikingdancer]

😫😫😫😫

[@stephenhiker9807]

You ain't no slug

[@hikingdancer]

Lol

[@HDCrumbsnatcher]

I see you Groceries! Lol

[@hikingdancer]

Lol

[@mitchhanna753]

Whatever left that pile needs to borrow Grocery's Imodium.

[@hikingdancer]

Lol so true

[@AmericanPatriot-bp7cu]

That poop may be Cheeseballs, but I'm not positive.

[@hikingdancer]

😧

[@pattypatten1626]

Moose poop is large nuggets.

[@hikingdancer]

Yeah

[@mitchhanna753]

What was that on your chin at that junction?

[@hikingdancer]

Food. I always have food on my face unfortunately

[@danielfegley2735]

I've been watching maybe Jesse hikes AKA honey bee when you tube show me your site , your about 2 weeks ahead of her and I want to see if you have a different experience this her first time I have no room to talk cause I've never been on an all day hike but after 150+ days I would think she be used to walking through tall weeds and getting her shoes wet cause there's no stepping stones or rock scrambling , I love hiking up Rocky mountains and whacking my way through pickers and tall Weeds my big fear is being lost and going without food I guess we all got our demons

[@hikingdancer]

Having my phone and the FarOut app which works even when no cellular connection has helped me feel a lot more secure being in the woods and not getting lost

[@stephengarfield4691]

It's interesting that other hikers would talk up things to be worse than they are.

[@hikingdancer]

Maybe they just feel differently

[@allenfelix4044]

I'd say it's moose poop....

[@hikingdancer]

Well, it must be a sock moose.

[@magicaltrails]

Pretty sure that's really loose moose poop. 🙂

[@hikingdancer]

Sure??? It looks so different than the little nuggets.

[@TheChantybb]

Have you heard from the other girls from your tramilly? Where are they?

[@hikingdancer]

I haven’t heard from them

[@wendypelaez9305]

Not moose poop. Bear

[@hikingdancer]

I was thinking that

[@justjonoutdoors]

I’m thinking there’s a stray cow out there. That certainly wasn’t moose or bear unless the animal was very sick.

[@hikingdancer]

Lol yeah

[@robertdesrosiers4743]

bear poop

[@hikingdancer]

Cool

[@broomrider7]

Looks like bear poop to me.

[@hikingdancer]

Yes I thought so

[@hindsfeetonhighplaces]

There has been pain, there has been rain, and now there is Maine! Awesome job to you and Groceries! If you ever want to come back to NH and do some hiking, ping me on IG. I'd love to share some of the more hidden gems in my state!

[@hikingdancer]

Yeah I’d totally come back to New Hampshire
