[@ajparks79]

I love your videos!!!!! You make me laugh....thank you

[@nbig860]

Soooo enjoyed the dance!!! 👏🏻😀👍😍

[@suecox8355]

So, the long horn cows haven’t been rounded up yet. That usually happens sometime in June. I usually ride a horse up to top of mountain.On really hot days some of the ponies have been known to attempt to lick hikers legs, salt. The fog kept you from some amazing long distance scenery.🦋❤️

[@abroadwandering]

I bet you created core memories today ❤🎉 What an amazing well deserved day

[@donnarocchio936]

You are NOT boring; you are tired, and we can accept that. You hit a couple of major milestones. 500 miles, 24.4miles today and saw some beautiful Ponies. Thank you so much for the daily updates and including us, to share your day.🥰

[@ChelaneyLane]

Great job Will in putting together this video with ……500 miles. I love that song. Captain and Sunshine had their dancing moves on!!!!!! Yea for 500 miles!

[@heatherlambert8660]

I was hoping to see you in trail this passed Saturday by chance toward Giles County.

[@heatherlambert8660]

The maternity ward so cute you said that. When I was there 2 months ago roughly there was identical twin ponies. So sweet❤

[@lindasimmons-pe9ew]

❤😂🎉what a great video!👍🏻🤣Awesome job!!

[@beckyraver7959]

This was the most fun video... EVER❤❤❤❤

[@joanhall3718]

Will is a total angel. It must be so hard for you both to be apart for so many days.

[@WorldTowning]

SO hard.

[@TheHuffruff]

The ponies!!! You guys are cute too! Absolutely amazing that you hit 500!! Bravo!! Love you guys and and thank you for sharing your adventures! I am learning so much that I knew nothing about!

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks for watching!

Love your energy today! Congratulations on 500 miles!!!

[@loririchardson3547]

What a fun start to the video and day

[@suecox8355]

[@LJ-pp9wj]

My son and I camped in a tent on the beach in Assateague. Woke up to wild horses surrounding us. We even had are medium size dog and they didn’t care. One of those special times. You two are creating Amazing memories

[@deirdresims9875]

Happy 500! Wish I was hiking with you silly pickles!

[@TammyLynn-163]

I actually put my coffee down to dance with ya'll this morning! Yay for 500 miles!👏

[@WorldTowning]

Love it!!

[@bobbie7355]

🎉🌞✈️🎉🌞✈️🎉 Congratulations on 500 miles !!!!! I would have to say. This has to be my most favorite vlog so far. From the little talks you do. And the 💚 scenery and the 🐎. But most of all is the funny musical hike. Kudos to Will. I think Will needs an AT off trail drive name. SUPERWILL 🦸 Hugs from Texas sweeties 🩷🤠🩷🌺

[@WorldTowning]

Wow, thank you!

[@byrdsonawire]

Congratulations for hitting 500 miles. This was such a fun video!! Keep on trekking!! ❤️

[@mccarthympma]

I loved the song and dance in this video, you had me smiling and bopping along. A little factoid for you… 99% of the AT is now on public land but that wasn’t always true. It used to pass through a lot of private property. Congratulations on 500 miles!! Huge milestone!!🎉🎉

[@WorldTowning]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@randimason7567]

What a fun episode! And Largo has the moves! Congrats - you've walked across Spain mileage again! Keep it up!

[@WorldTowning]

He is half Latino so he definitely has the moves. Ha.

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

This one was fun. Congratulations on 500. You hit Grayson at the right time to see the young foals. I love that area.

[@WorldTowning]

I know, so cute

[@bethfrank1981]

That pink flower should be your new tattoo 🌺. 500 miles congrats guys 👍🏼🎉. ( Beth)

[@WorldTowning]

It might be

[@lindablack7438]

500🎉Entertaining 👣👣

[@kingrafferty]

So joyful!

[@julianlord5366]

Had a wedge of stinky and sticky Brie de Meaux this morning, bought it 48 hours earlier then forgot it, so it was super tasty and smelly !!

[@mlctallahassee]

Such a fun vid! 500 mile mark with the best song and fun dancing. But, the star of the vid was the ponies. I love Grayson Highlands. Hike your hike. Listen to you body. Don't push to the breaking point! You're so close to sunrise at McAfee Knob!

[@WorldTowning]

So fun to make

[@HannahF-iv5yi]

To the cow: "Hi! You are super cute!" immediately into "I have more pepperoni by the way" and a cheese break lol. My vegan heart finds this sadly humorous.

[@WorldTowning]

I know, I was a vegetarian before the hike and will go back after.

[@sandrap3047]

I miss Will too! Congratulations on 500 miles! You just couldn’t wait to sing this song Sunshine, could you? You waited 500 miles to sing it & dance it! Great job WT!

[@WorldTowning]

well, I have been practicing. ha

[@sandrap3047]

@@WorldTowning you did great! It was cute!

[@Lovesracing19]

Ponies were so pretty. Safe travels.

[@elizabethblau7182]

CONGRATS on 500 miles!!!!! 🎉😊❤

[@Golfpt62]

I keep saying I want to come see the horses. I just gotta do it one of these days

[@alenacarnes6658]

Y’all are so fun! I love your videos

[@ladidi5222]

Congratulations on 500 miles🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@lisaschrenk453]

Best AT video of all time

[@WorldTowning]

awh, thanks.

[@wyomingcowboy2939]

Love the skirt, from Shirley 😊

[@WorldTowning]

Fun, right?

[@KarenLCSmith]

Best creative video yet! And you are in my state!!

[@WorldTowning]

Wish we had time to be this creative on all of them, but the miles call us.

[@helenvwalker7919]

Great and fun use of the Proclaimers song throughout this video😅BRAVO!!!!!

[@ruthanderson4596]

I feel your pain with the Achilles. Have you tried stopping at the water and soaking your feet there. The cool mt water feels wonderful when I do it.

[@nancywittendorfer5982]

If those are dirty girl gaiters, aren't they the best? I have a couple of pair of and I just wore them on Saturday for my hike. Let's celebrate 500 miles! 🍕🧀

[@WorldTowning]

Love my gaiters.

[@suemoore1965]

IS WILL PLANNING ON GETTING A PLACE CLOSER TO KATAHDIN SO YOU CAN SEE HIM MORE EASILY??? CONGRATS ON HITTING 500 MILES 🥳🥳🥳

[@WorldTowning]

I hope so, just depends on availability and $$$

[@dmottley]

Will needs a trail name too

[@suecox8355]

Some of us gave Will the trail name of “HOT LATINO” because Sunshine called him her Hot Latino in another vlog.🦋❤️

[@WorldTowning]

I vote for HOT LATINO of course.

[@lindalisettehiggins8028]

Congratulations on 500 miles! You have walked a Camino only 3 more to go! Are you step counting as well? How many steps for 24.1 miles?

[@WorldTowning]

No, but captain mentioned that we should the other day.

[@markswishereatsstuff2500]

Will you be running out of runway the latter part of the summer to get Captain back in school?

[@WorldTowning]

He can start late as he is homeschooled, but don't want to start that late as junior year is hard.

[@bkrajewski6756]

I think pony at 19:46 has a baby in her belly.

[@lets_go_see_]

"New Shoes"!!!! You need hiking boots. Amazing how so many can't accep good advice. So, you are celebrating (PRIDE) month! Do you also celebrate (Hedro) month as well.....lol lol lol

[@WorldTowning]

We don't celebratre Hedro month because us Hedro's have al kinds of rights so no need to celebrate or fight for more. Not sold on boots, they hurt my feet.
