Thanks for sharing 😊

Sass you are such a wise person for being so young. An old soul. You cranked out the miles and had most of your expectations met. Good day overall.

[@westaylor5508]

I proclaim 500 miles is an awesome feat! Keep it going.

[@jamesadams2334]

Doing great Sassafras! Love your videos, they are good quality and extremely entertaining. You are hiking strong and doing good miles. Keep it up but always stop to see and do the little things along the way. geek

Great hiking! 500 miles!!! But no Fresh Grounds. I bet you'll see him in the future.

“Like peasants…” 😂😂😂

[@QuirkHikes]

No Fresh Grounds = Cold Chicken with BBQ sauce in a bag 😂 Bat phone to Leapfrog Cafe 😊😊 Ponies makes the day GREAT no matter what... Ask me about my hike over the Highlands back to Damascus, Argh 😫😫

[@KenFernbach]

Well for me , it’s nice to have overcast days so the sun isn’t beating down on you when there’s not much shade - I wonder if that could have been a good area to go barefoot for a sore foot and ankle break and just do a 20 minute barefoot connection with the earth while saying hello to the horses? Just a thought. . . . 🌱🏃‍♀️🌿🧘🏼🙏

[@juliemarie4670]

woo!! 500! keep it up, jess!

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good job over 500 miles, nice video with some good views, lot of ponies, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@chrisgidney5135]

500 miles is great! Keep up the videos. I really look foward to them. Great to watch after sitting at my desk all day at work

[@MrEllio7]

Congrats on 500!

[@aadmonk]

500 miles already, that's awesome ;-)

[@kmichaelp4508]

I think your videos are a wee bit behind! I still enjoy them 😆 15 DAYS 🤪

[@DarrellSampson-s9m]

Congratulations on 500 miles! Sorry Grayson Highlands was tough on you, but you shared some beautiful pictures. Happy trails Sassafras

[@chrishastings9926]

Beautiful ponies! I'm so sorry you missed Fresh Ground Jess but if you're interested when you get to the White Mountains I can get you a lobster roll. I've done it twice before - the first with Jay Wanders Out (day 173) and the second last year with Happy Camphares ( halfway through week 18). You bring so much joy to so many that you truly deserve this.

[@kosowskj]

Congrats on your 500 mile mark. You so got this!!

I think that the leaves at 2:14 are bunchflower - they will have a white fluffy plume in early summer.

[@dougsneider722]

Congrats on the 500!

Ya know, they're not actually wild as much as feral. Goats would be better, anyway. Frickin' Grayson Highlands, anyway.
