Day 123: I made a rookie mistake (AT ThruHike 2024)

[@jimhenderson387]

I really appreciate your attitude towards most everything. You seem upbeat and positive, even when things kind of suck. But not in some sickening sweet way. More matter of fact with a positive spin. And I sincerely hope you are able to keep this demeanor for the rest of your journey!

I love how independent you are,

I enjoy the open views crossing the fields. You doing so great.

Very nice video, with lots of good views, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@tomellis3218]

Jess, you are very independent in your decision making and yet you also talk about enjoying hiking with your tramily. You are quite the person to admire. Question as a viewer I hear about Trail Midnight being around 8:30 pm when the sun has gone down and I’m not a disciplined sleeper … do you find because you hike so many miles that your body is so tiered that falling asleep at 8:40 or 9pm comes naturally and do you sleep all through the night till you arise ? ❤😊

I met a SOBO at a hostel in NC who emailed me a bunch of information on the Whites: a Thru Hiker pass that gives you lots of discounts at tent sites and lodges; a $20 Budget Route through the Whites; info on Huts Work for Stay; plus more of what appears to be good information on the Whites. I would be happy to email it to you? I don’t know who you might have contact info for but some people who have my # are: Sparrow, Quirk, Nails, Grayman Walking, 7Iron and Scarface? Let me know. Take care.

Have any of you got any blisters yet?

[@KC3YCU]

Everyone gets blisters all the time on the AT. It's not really worth talking about

[@hsoderberg6505]

​@KC3YCU there's no need to criticize this person for their question!

[@mikhael8151]

I think everyone gets blisters but I've heard some people use leukotape on their feet to prevent it.
