[@KenFernbach]

Love your spirit sweetie, plenty of time no matter what you choose to do- you know you’re in the home stretch, so please don’t rush.🌿🍄🌱🍀🌲

[@chrishastings9926]

That was the most awesome view of the Bigelow's I've ever seen. How beautiful with the crystal clear sky! The lakes were amazing as well! Great job young lady.

[@jamesadams2334]

I knew you would love the Bigalows! Holy cow your enthusiasm is infectious! When you let out that little yell, it made me want to hike Maine again so bad. I spent almost 6 hours on Avery Peak just sitting and looking and talking to day hikers. Jess, you're there! You are so close to Katahdin that your job now is to NOT get hurt! You are one of the strongest hikers that I've ever followed on here. I hope I'm not too late but just reminding you of The Hermitage and Gulf Hagas in the 100 Mile Wilderness. Impressive hike Jess. Hike safe, Hike strong, Have fun! geek

[@tomellis3218]

Wow what special moments on the Bigelows . You are so close. Anticipating your completion. ❤😂😊

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good job on the 22 miles, good video with lots of beautiful views, some bad rocky mountains climbing, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@BucksMom218]

Amazing views and exciting just to see it online…thanks for sharing this amazing hike.❤🥾🥾⛺️🌸

[@DarrellSampson-s9m]

Hey Sass, the smile on your face says it all. Glad you are having fun. Hope you don't get the amount of rain they are calling for. Be safe and happy hiking.

[@RobertSmith-km6gi]

The trappings of civilization take back seat when you’re in the Maine wilderness. From the high spots all that you can see is hills, lakes, forest, ponds, and more mountains.

[@KC3YCU]

You're on fire, Sass!

[@lindal986]

10 - 10 - 10 😊

[@Rambler595]

What a fantastic day! Your enthusiasm is contagious! Safe trails!

[@sheilabishop-cn6ey]

That is beautiful, majestic, stunning, gorgeous. ❤

[@marilynm5024]

That view was an amazing reward for hiking 2000 miles!!!! So good to see you ecstatic!!!!!!!

[@westaylor5508]

Sass, I don’t know what was shining brighter, the sun or the smile on your face!

[@QuirkHikes]

That Smile on Bigelliows 🥰💯💯‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥 Worth the 2k miles💯💯💯 10,10,10 looks more like a 12,10, 15. Not even a pack in moose 🫎 💩 can spoil your day 💯💯💯 Was eating it today a Stephen King reference??

[@johnwalker4642]

More joy for you.

[@DManGrand]

Very nice... you are getting close to the finish line..

[@valeriecharboneau308]

I love the Bigelows! ❤

[@doconawalk9367]

Bigelow’s were a top 3 day on the entire AT for me… maybe my favourite. Glad to see you loved them as much as I!

[@marymiller5461]

When you go back to ash cave it will look sooo small😂. I'm sure you are very close to completing and on your way home. You are Ohio strong!

[@hhale]

Ash Cave in Hocking Hills...we've hiked on the same trail at some point. So yeah, I get the reference.

[@ralphmaddox-kk4mj]

Wow, when I saw that rock I too instantly thought of Ash cave overhang !!! I've hiked HH twice I live in cincy.Ya from Ohio Sass???
