[@pb0231]

Awesome! Thanks for taking us through! Your too funny!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@justjonoutdoors]

I can’t wait to see your reaction when you get to a real river crossing! I smile every time you say “river crossing”!

[@hikingdancer]

Lol I say it knowing it’s not a river

[@justjonoutdoors]

@@hikingdancer That’s part of what makes it so cute! :)

[@justjonoutdoors]

My daughter also loves the downhills. I keep reminding her that it takes the ups to get the downs!

[@hikingdancer]

Absolutely

[@annegallagher4005]

What an absolutely stunning sunrise and a reward for the last stretch of the Smokies! Congratulations to you and Focs! One of the toughest part of the AT is conquered...onward to the next ones! You can be so proud of yourself!! Hope you both can take a rest at the hostel, maybe two days?

[@hikingdancer]

We did just a Nero then.

[@annegallagher4005]

@@hikingdancer WOW hats off to you!

[@cwesi1]

Loved the sunrise. It was so beautiful! Congratulations on completing GSMNP. Many more challenges with great views to match coming up. Jiffy Pop

[@hikingdancer]

Challenges coming indeed

[@AmericanPatriot-bp7cu]

I have hiked this section to Damascus. This will bring back memories. TY

[@hikingdancer]

That’s so cool

[@puravidamy4162]

Enjoyed seeing you in other vlogs. Over here it's almost like work/vlog mode but over there it's Juli being Juli...

[@hikingdancer]

Lol yeah I’m a silly one

[@patm8714]

Vids are awesome! When I was in the army, downhills were the worst for me. If you haven't already tried, I naturally learned a "shuffle step" for the down hill marches (w/50lb's on my back). They are short, quick relaxed shuffle steps (just a shuffle like it sounds, similar to dancing..). See if it helps? I took ballet for many years.

[@hikingdancer]

Yep that’s exactly how I go downhill now

[@rwp722]

What are your thoughts on consuming "road kill?" Do you think it's safe?

[@hikingdancer]

I’d say no to that

[@seymourtrails6485]

Congrats on completing the Smokies!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@josephgillen6257]

Congrats on finishing the Smokies. How did you like the Torpedo IPA?

[@hikingdancer]

Not so much a fan of IPAs. Lately going more for ciders.

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

Congratulations on completing the Smokies! Let’s see what is around the next bend!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you very much.

[@susietopspin]

Awesome. So happy for the two of you. Now on to the next adventure.🥾

[@hikingdancer]

Absolutely

[@unpavedexplorer338]

Done with the Smokies! Greasy accomplishment.

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@KrizAkoni]

Congrats on exiting the Smokeys!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@kevintolbert4934]

Good job 👏! I'm usually sad to leave my beloved Smokies. Loving your journey. Thank you! Bringing back wonderful memories! I think that was the pigeon river. Been awhile since I been through that area.

[@hikingdancer]

The Smokies were great! So much more to see

[@Dalethe1]

Congratulations on finishing the GSM ⛰ It’s some of the most beautiful trail ls on the AT 🥾🎒 Happy hiking 🥾

[@hikingdancer]

I loved it

[@lark518Photo]

Congrats, on the Smokies.

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@luisahirsch5654]

Congratulations on completing the Smokeys! Lol I am the same way in that I am better uphill than downhill. Downhill I am very slow, but uphill I am faster.

[@kevintolbert4934]

Uphill yeah! You can adjust your heart and lungs, but downhill is hard on a body. Do what you have to and adapt as needed.

[@hikingdancer]

Downhill is still a tough one for me

[@NordikSmeelyCooter]

Congrats on finishing the Smokies!

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@privilo1]

hello HikingDancer, How far are you guys going?? I wanted to do a section of the trail with you people. Congrats for finishing the smokies strong.

[@hikingdancer]

Where do you live?

[@OG-PapaDude]

Oh damn! You just missed the 420 party at standing bear! I hiked into Standing Bear on 420 the first year I hiked. Good times!

[@hikingdancer]

Lol I bet

[@david_W5QDF]

Gorgeous sunrise, love the way you say “gorgeous”. You completed the Smokies gorgeously. Hope you have a gorgeous night at the hostel. 🥾🥾🥾

[@hikingdancer]

Awe what a gorgeous comment 🤗

[@earlwoolery1424]

The sunrise was beautiful!!!! So was the view from the "if I wasn't so scared,,,, well let me try" spot!! Thank you for your effort to get that view photo's-stunning!! I'm taking the no knee issues being addresses that your slower pace and less miles is working well for you. Hope you two arrived early enough to get hostel room.

[@hikingdancer]

I’m addressing that in other videos. I actually fell that day again. Just before getting to standing bear. I’ve felt like I’ve been whining and so haven’t mentioned my knee that much.
