As a Brit, I was amazed you chanced upon a memorial to Audie Murphy. I know you, as a family admire those who have flourished despite their upbringing. His story is incredible, as others have pointed out. Laid to rest in Arlington I believe. A real American hero and icon.

[@CarolAndrews-b6n]

I'm enjoying your videos so much! Thank you for sharing. Love the relationship u and ur son have.

[@ladidi5222]

Everything was wonderful today, but that memorial was so amazing thank you Captain and sunshine for all that you send our way😊

[@eileenderheim3768]

WooHoo 700 miles! Dragon Tooth views were fantastic.

[@judygoode5866]

Sunshine I love your attitude about people don’t ever lose that wonder. Too many people are always complaining about crappy people . I love how you focus on the positive, it’s so much better for the soul.❤❤❤❤

[@MaryanneN_]

Thank you for today’s video! Audie Murphy was a pretty big deal (pronounced Aw-dee). Still the most decorated American veteran (and a movie star too, after he returned from WWII).

[@lmkwillow6395]

Thank for taking the time to share that memorial and so many other interesting and inspiring things along the way.

[@nancywittendorfer5982]

Great job today doing that climb Through The Rock face. Beautiful view. Love you sunshine, love you captain, Nan

[@helenvwalker7919]

Loved your message about how amazing humans are! ❤

[@stephanieaston7178]

I have been watching the vlogs of you guys hiking the Camino De Santiago, and I am enjoying seeing what 10 year old Largo was like! Also, I love that Avalon had purple hair! What a sweet, loving family! I can’t get enough of it!🙂❤️

[@WorldTowning]

I know, he is all grown up now

[@tresannrn8454]

You Guys are wonderful.. thank you for all that you do in sharing your journey with us!✌️🙂💚

[@OG-PapaDude]

"Cat Daddy" would have been an awesome trail name. Just sayin. BTW, you're gonna hate the descent into Port Clinton, PA. It's downright dangerous.

[@mccarthympma]

Congratulations on hitting 700 miles!!🎉. We were also very surprised at that Dragon’s Tooth descent since there’s nothing like that in the previous 700 miles. I’m so thankful your falls weren’t serious. Many people have hike ending falls on that descent, it’s that intense, as you well know. Enjoy McAfee Knob and Tinker Cliffs tomorrow, those were definitely highlights for us!! Now I need some of that 🧀 CHEESE ‼️

[@marilynm5024]

So glad you were able to visit with new found friends! It might have been rough going down, but you did it!!! You fell, but you got back up!!!! And that's life on the trail and life in general. Ups and downs. You guys are amazing

[@janeta6794]

Beautifully challenging day !

[@TammyLynn-163]

Are trailside blueberries considered "trail magic" by definition? The trail provides, so I think they can be! What a delicious surprise!

[@WorldTowning]

YES

[@shenkclan]

My son and I did dragons tooth 2 years ago in the rain absolutely no views and the down climb was insane on wet rocks. We started near the Audie Murphy monument and finished at 624. First day of my 14 day section hike. Memories and I got to see what we missed in the way of views.

[@rdgreeley]

lol: “1 want at least one of to survive if they’re poisonous!”

[@milestogowithyou1157]

So fun seeing the day you had before we met you guys! Awesome job getting on that tooth!

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

Watch the movie “To Hell and Back”. It’s the Audie Murphy story AND he is the actor. He also starred in a lot of western movies.

[@YTusercomment]

Great find with the Blueberries...doesn't get more organic than that. Good you left some...not only for others...but the Bears feed on them too. I don't think Audie Murphy is actually buried there...it is more a Memorial Marker due to the fact that the plane he was in crashed nearby. Much like a spot I visited in Tennessee, where Country & Western music singer Patsy Cline's plane crashed..also killed in that crash were "Cowboy Copas" and Hawkshaw Hawkins.

[@ILC6476]

I made the switch to Topos from Altra Temp 5. Made a big difference. You guys make my day!

[@WorldTowning]

love my Topos

[@suemoore1965]

I am looking forward to WILLPOWER being on the trail

[@scottbarber1186]

I just found you channel this week and to my surprise you are in my area 😊 glad you are doing the triple crown, my fav part is Tinkers Cliffs via Andy Lane Trail, I am sure you will hit up that pizza in Daleville 😉 I hope the weather was nice on Tinkers, great hammock place

[@Lovesracing19]

Safe travels.

[@Flipperwi715]

#best mother and father. Your children are having such a fantastic life. Capitaine - no. LOLOLOL.

[@julianlord5366]

That cheese sounds great, but really the only cheese nation comparable to France is Italy. Over here on the Camino there have been a LOT of cherry plums. Super tasty !!

[@Ntt231]

Do you come across a lot of deer flies and horse flies when walking. I find those irritating when I go for a hike but it has never been mentioned. Just curious. Enjoy hearing about your progress. keep going it's got to be an amazing journey all in all

[@WorldTowning]

Not many yet, but black flies yes

[@lmkwillow6395]

I absolutely am not saying that I’m glad you are falling and I’m sorry for that, but I am happy to know that I’m not the only one.

[@WorldTowning]

I fall almost every day.

[@gurugnorm]

Possibly Huckleberries

[@bobbie7355]

Shout out to 007. BTW sunshine would you tell me your hair fucshia product ? 🩷🤠🩷🦋

[@WorldTowning]

Manic Panic is the product

[@lmkwillow6395]

I will email you soon, but keep in mind if I am home I can help you in various ways at the Northern Va, WV, Maryland or Southern Pennsylvania sections as I live in the Eastern Panhandle. Let’s talk about your estimated time of arrival for those particular sections

[@janetmessman95]

Surprised over the use of the F bomb😮

[@WorldTowning]

Sometimes I use them, but not that often on the vlog.

[@janetmessman95]

Not trying to be critical. I certainly have used that word. Just surprised me 😊

[@karens6053]

What did you just swear, LOL

[@WorldTowning]

sometimes I do. Ha!
