💥2100💥 A monumentous milestone, Mojo! 20 miles over redundant rocks and roots with a ton of food! You're tough as nails young lady. Breathtaking trail footage today. I hope you get a solid night of restorative sleep tonight. 🌲🏕🌲

[@emargaretboston2158]

It has to be hard at this point... you've come such a long way and you're tired, but it's almost over and you're a little sad. I am so impressed with how you've persevered - you are a strong person and you can be so proud. Wishing you beauty and fulfillment in these last days of the AT. 🙂

[@laineym2005]

You'v'e consistently had the best POV trail footage ever - and Maine is even better than the rest! Thank you!

[@soulproprietorDan]

"A little bit of a hard day', she says! Twenty miles climbing over roots & rocks is no joke. I'm mirroring your emotions, Molly. I'm experiencing some of the same emotions, concern for the toll this takes on you & wanting a break for you, but also sad that you'll b e done in a matter of days. This has been such an education for me, & enjoyment at seeing so much more of the Trail than I ever saw. I'm so proud of you all, this odyssey of yours is really, really hard! Rest well.

[@1024Pete]

Bravo to 2100 and Day 172’s success. A testament to your devotion and sacrifice. Well done👏🏻Thanks for Day 172’s arduous trail views. Brings bring back memories of painful fatigued success. Kudos to your fortitude. Thanks for the awesome share. Wishing you safe passage, success, and mighty fine hiking. Happy Trails!

[@rhousto1]

It's no wonder you're tired. You continue to impress me with your toughness and smiles. Lots of reasons to be positive about yourself.

[@mathfan0918]

Congratulations on 2100 miles! However, I do have to say that your 1000-mile dance was better than Bevo's. 2100 mile dance, haha! I'm so impressed with your prowess. Twenty miles in Maine is quite the accomplishment! I hope you are able to get some decent rest.

[@thecrankyyankee5114]

I’ll be honest - when you first started out on the AT I didn’t think you would make it through Pennsylvania - boy was I wrong - you are a very determined, strong minded lady. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@maubeecat2910]

So near the end goal!!! It’s been a pleasure watching your hike. I’m really glad you are one of the ones that get to Katahdin. Your positive outlook and joy of just being there have served you well. Wishing you only good adventures for these final miles!!!

[@chiptreks]

Incredible day, Molly! Seeing you smile though the day's challenge is so inspiring!! All the best to you and be safe.

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

Congratulations 2100 miles you are almost done.

[@antheablackmore5838]

Wonder Woman Molly, extremely hard coming toward the end of this dream!

[@paulleuba6235]

I am nearly certain you summitted Katahadin on 9/11. I saw a photo of some folks in your "bubble" - Birdy summitted that day (9/11). Congrats on an excellent hike and an even better VLOG! I have appreciated your dedication to your viewers from the very beginning. Thank you for taking me along on the journey.

[@hikernj]

Congratulations on 2100! You’re amazing! So proud of you!

[@antheablackmore5838]

So near the end of this amazing journey!

[@lindamoon8981]

20 miles over that terrain is amazing! No wonder you are tired! Even the fastest hikers can only do 13-15 miles on those first few days on the hundred mile wilderness. It gets alit easier the last couple of days! Mighty fine hiking young lady!

[@jhayft0703]

Way to go Molly! You’re prob done with the trail or summitting Katahdin as we watch this! Keep going! You got this!

[@shannonsarge2851]

I don't know how you manage a 20 mile day. I would be tired too. What a journey this has been. You're almost to the end. Keep smiling & finish strong!

[@dannythecamper4186]

Great job over 2100 miles and less than 90 miles to go, some bad rocky climb up and down, some good beautiful views, so let's keep on hiking, still no moose, 😅 😊

[@juliamarple3785]

Oh geez la wheeze, those rocks. Great job. So far, so close. Splish splash.

[@OldManDaniel]

I did not realize how varied the terrain in the 100 mile wilderness was😮Thanks for sharing. Also thanks for sharing all your “oops” which you handle with such grace. Awesome 20 mile day and you have earned your rest. Congratulations on the 2,100 mile accomplishment. Stay safe and hike on.

[@JacquelineB117]

2100 Miles! You are an inspiration to everyone Molly Rose❤ Thank you for sharing as always.

[@paulalee9324]

I’m not crying! Your summary at the end was so touching. My mama heart was holding her breath when you made that steep descent. That was a hard day, 20 and the ascent and descent with heavy pack. Where was everyone else when you were descending?! I was so afraid for you! Mighty fine hiking, your videos make me feel like I’m doing it…and so glad I’m not! Soon you’ll see mama K in the distance! So glad you got to meet Mosey. Since she has flipped and going SOBO, I get to see you do Maine in the opposite direction.

[@bethhodges2014]

Heard you exclaim ouch that hurt a few times this day, seems not too bad booboos. Happy that big bridges were all above water level. I’m very tall so all the steep descents were terrifying for me to watch. My knees no longer bend so scooching down the rocks can’t happen, need for me to back down facing the rock, got nice views today, but terrain looked very tough, not surprised you’re tired. Happy trails even with wet toes, You’re doing great.

[@jeevjagostudios]

Wow! That looked like a tough 20 miles in the 100-mile wilderness. Congrats on reaching 2100 miles -- you're down to double digits in miles left to go. Great MoJo Vision sequences today -- I could almost feel your pain and exertion struggling through those steep up-and-down climbs over boulders and roots. At around 10:00, that Appalachian Trail sign amid a pile of rocks on what appeared to be a cliff was quite the shot. And despite all that, your pace was an impressive 2.22 mph with almost 5000 feet of elevation gain! Looking forward to a bittersweet ending . . .

[@billyshears921]

When it's over......."smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry" (Pink Floyd, 1973). You are an inspiration to all who face challenges every day. Be safe!

[@butchbinion1560]

Thanks, a little huffing and puffing haha. ✌🏻👊🏼

[@jarr1520]

Apparently this is the airplane crash story: 100-Mile Wilderness, ME: In this remote section of the trail, hikers can encounter the wreckage of a small plane that crashed in the 1970s. A father and son were onboard and miraculously survived, camping out overnight before receiving help the next day. The trail has been rerouted to pass directly by this crash site.

[@Larry_M6790]

Molly, you're awesome, I can't believe you are almost done, been following you since early in your hike.

[@tgrant74]

From Day 1 I knew you would make it. Others I watched left because of circumstances or just quit. I knew you were not a quitter. Hike On and be safe!!

[@lightwalker4558]

Excellent effort crushing those miles in day 2 of 5. It should get easier tomorrow after your last big summit on the 100MW. Plus your pack will be lighter. 😊

[@crimson25543]

If my map-following skills are correct, I think you guys stopped at or near the Carl A Newhall Lean-to around mile marker 2094 on the AT. 78 mi to go to the Mt. K terminus point! What an intense day this was. First, 20 miles!! And then, the terrain was (IMO) scary with all those boulders. I can tell how tired you feel at this point; I was feeling exhausted for you. I read the average time to complete this 100 mi wilderness segment is 7 to 10 days, and you guys were planning to do it in 4 days -- superfast! As always, thank you for sharing your journey!

[@dianestone9630]

Wow, congratulations on 2100. So close, and a tough trail today. You continue to amaze me with your videos along with the physical & mental aspects of this journey. Well done ❤

[@LookUp1991]

Way to go Molly! 2100!!! You must be done by now. I’m so happy/sad !

[@gina5827]

So close!! Those last days on trail seem bittersweet to everyone. 😊

[@1moule1]

Hooray, congrats another milestone 🎉

[@hope2someday691]

Twenty miles is a Great day in the 100. Don’t forget to soak in a little of the trail in these last few days.

[@ChristyByczkoski]

Excited to watch as you accomplish your goal of reaching big-K. Way to go, MoJo!

[@ashleys_sadness]

You’re getting closer. So exciting. You may have in real time completed this already depending on how far behind your videos are.

[@candrtravels3487]

That's what I think, too.

[@jhayft0703]

Either that or she’s summitting Katahdin

[@jeannenimmo5]

2,100 miles - fewer than 100 miles remain to Katahdin. Katahdin, in the ancient Algonquian language of the Penobscot Indians, mean 'greatest mountain.' Be well, stay safe. 🥾

[@RolandKrastins]

Congratulations on hiking 2100 miles 😂 !!! That's a amazing video of you hiking the trail and crossing the river!!!

[@caryhewitt1256]

Wow! Awesome! Congratulations on reaching 2100 miles!

[@ConSauls]

What kind of sandals are you wearing on the water crossings

[@julainenelson4204]

Those rocks are rough!

[@PandianExpress]

any idea how the hikers post video everyday ? where do they charge the equipments ? how do they even find teh time to edit and post video ? are they staying in a hostel every night ? or they sending the footage to someon so they can edit and post ? am confused.. thanks for reading my comment.

[@billpowers1445]

Wow, you’re doing an amazing job. What an accomplishment

[@benk6482]

Hang in there Mojo!

[@celenasherrill1455]

Wow 2100! Congratulations!

[@tomenns6236]

Could you talk about the white trail markers. Who put them there, how far apart are they spaced and are they more useful when theirs snow?

[@crimson25543]

The trail markers on trees and sometimes rocks are called "blazes." They are painted by volunteer groups who maintain the AT. Each color of blaze represents something specific: white, blue, yellow are most commonly seen. Do a google search on "AT blaze colors" and you'll learn all about them.

[@somerandomguy4149]

So if I had to take a guess you should be summiting around episode 178 to 180.

[@donaldbedsole5154]

It's kind of ironic that after over 2100 miles of hiking and all the roots and rocks the only time I've seen you fall was on that boardwalk. Glad you were OK. I really didn't realize there are points on the trail where you have to do some rock climbing. BTW, I was looking back at the first video, and I saw you weighing your pack at the visitor center. It was 30.5 pounds. Do you have any guess how much it was at the end?

[@WalterZw]

11:47 schöne Beine :)

[@tomdoe1234]

I like how to you 4,900 ft elevation is not a lot :)

[@drakebonnellbonnell9045]

🥾🥾🥾🥾🦶🏻🌊👏👏👸

[@kwd-2023]

2168!

[@mjeh1]

That new food drop option is a cheating insult to the many decades of hikers that made it through one of the ATs biggest challenges without outside help. I'm really really glad you didn't fall for it. You rock!

[@walteragentplummer7031]

❤❤😂❤

[@lolawakefield]

Please be careful. I don't want anything happening to you when you are so close to the end.

[@suemoore1965]

YOU ARE A TROOPER MOJO. 💕🤍👣
