Appalachian Trail Thru Hike Day 188

[@PatAttick]

It is bittersweet watching you come to the final episode of your journey, thank you for documenting your adventure. Still out here sitting on the edge of our seat watching, anxiously watching for you standing on the sign at the summit!

[@BluegrassonTrail]

Thank you! I appreciate all the supportive comments you have given along the way!👍

[@randyboyett1366]

I know you guys are super excited to be this close. The 100 mile wilderness is a reality. So very happy for you both!!

[@BluegrassonTrail]

Thank you! 100 MW is some rugged trail! Beautiful out here though!

Ramdino included bandits report on his update yesterday. Glad to see you back on the air today. Kind of crazy to think you can hike 2000 miles and have a 100 mile wilderness be so daunting ! Sounds like it’s critical to maintain dry items like socks and puffs and layers for sleeping. Charge hard and enjoy it because by all reports it’s magnificent. Will be exciting to hear about your adventures on the other side. Keep this in mind. Never criticize someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’ll be a mile away and you’ll have their shoes.!!! Seems the only right way to finish this adventure is YOUR way!!!! Go get ‘em!! And see if you can find Bandit a moose.

I always keep the puffy and quilt dry for sure. Happy to share stories of this amazing adventure! 😂 I need a new pair of shoes! And still no moose😡 Thanks so much!

[@galejones5870]

Looks like a very cool place!! Stay warm up here in this neck of the woods!! You guys are gettin’ it done!! 🥾🥾

[@BluegrassonTrail]

Can't wait! Thank you!

[@emoose9097]

We spotted with our little eyes 13 blazes, cute toadstools, orange fungus looking things, and a lot of shoes! Keep safely heading nobo!! Thank you so much for carrying us along!

[@BluegrassonTrail]

Thank you! Will do!

Neat little town. Almost there. Hike safe.

[@BluegrassonTrail]

Thank you, I thought so too!

It took us 6 days to complete the 100 mile Wilderness. Camping between the two lakes at Antlers Campsite was AWSOME! Nice sunset and sunrise. Also a double privy there.. Rainbow stream Lean-To should be your last stop.. We actually saw Bull winkle between there and Abol Bridge... HUGE Moose, with massive antlers.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Maverick71~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[@BluegrassonTrail]

We have looking for moose with no luck yet! 100 mile wilderness has been rugged so far!

[@juliamarple3785]

How exciting.

[@BluegrassonTrail]

It is and will be tough to walk away from in the end! Thank you so much!

[@pcrice-lr2dn]

Another day down,I am sure you all could use the rest ,I can’t believe how close to the end ….be safe 🌿🍃

[@BluegrassonTrail]

So close! Thank you.

[@brucetruman3937]

You’ll be back in the Bluegrass pretty soon! Great job neighbor

[@BluegrassonTrail]

I sure miss home but still have work to do here to get to the summit! Thank you for your support!

[@galejones5870]

Hope all is going ok for you guys. Havent seen a post in a few days! 🙏🏼

[@BluegrassonTrail]

Thanks for your support and patience! We haven’t had any service in the 100 mile to upload! We finished that so uploads will be regular now! 😁

[@galejones5870]

@@BluegrassonTrail ya i was thinking that was probably the “issue” but happy to be seeing your videos again and knowing all is ok!

[@BluegrassonTrail]

[@williamking4316]

Are those white plants a mushroom? never seen those before. Mama K closer in sight! Great video!!

[@BluegrassonTrail]

Yes they are! They grow very big too! Mushrooms are everywhere in all sizes and colors! Thanks so much!

[@JerryRyder-u1s]

Can you tell us about the music. Love it.

[@BluegrassonTrail]

Apologies… I got this tune from my video editing software and have since deleted it off my phone because I needed to free up memory and can’t seem to find it again. I’ll keep trying to find it! Thanks

[@OtisAndIOutside]

I honestly can't decide for my thru hike if I will use my hammock or tent...what are your thoughts on hammock camping the AT?

[@BluegrassonTrail]

Benefits are you don’t need a level spot to set up, but I think you do need to carry a bit more to make it work. I’ve never slept in a hammock but some people say they are very comfortable. I sleep on my side so not sure it would work the best for me but I’m not knocking them! Hope you enjoy your thru! Glad you’re getting out there!

[@Jstring304]

I was just going to ask if you've seen a moose yet then read in the comments. That would be awesome. Stay safe

[@BluegrassonTrail]

We have been looking hard for a moose but no luck yet! I appreciate all the well wishes for safety! Thanks

[@brianjhoov]

Been dreaming of doing this for years, just don't think I'll ever get the chance. How old are you? I'm 40 - worried I will be too old when I finally have the chance.

[@BluegrassonTrail]

I’m 54 but have seen folks much older getting it done. If you stay active and have the right mind set. You can definitely do it! Thanks!

[@randywilson1134]
