That was us! That was us! It was my daughter Ava and I who tried multiple points around Bland, VA, to bring you trail magic. :-) We LOVE watching your videos but we're just dipping our toes into longer hikes and the hope of backpacking soon. Ava's 12 and I'm...well, your age, so I'll keep that to myself. But we decided to have a mom/daughter adventure one day and see if we could leave trail magic, or even happen upon you. Best I can tell, it was right around the days you stayed two nights at the hostel and went SOBO for a day. I think that's part of the reason our timing was off a little. We did shuttle a few hikers in to Bland to get some food, and we gave the trail magic to other hikers we came across (the ones who said they would talk to Cool Breeze). So it was still a really cool girls' adventure and we had a great time. Everyone was super nice, even though we felt a little sheepish asking if they'd run into you. We love your videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures with everyone! Praying for you as you adventure on.

[@jenniferwatson3122]

Mama and Little Bear! We are having so much fun watching you! Hubby (Truck Stop) successfully hiked the AT NOBO 2021. We watch a few vlogs every year. You guys are the only ones we were watching who are still on trail. You are doing amazing! Little Bear reminds me of our daughter at that age. So sweet. 💕. Anyway, when you get to Maine we would LOVE to trail magic you. There are several pick up locations that we can shuttle you, feed you, house you…whatever you need. Praying for you both and your fam too…oh…hubby is retired LEO as well!

[@virginianorton8393]

Don't you wonder how they get such a heavy memorial stone to such a remote spot up in the hills

[@shelliebrassler4430]

Those falls can come out of nowhere. Good to hear you were not seriously injured!

[@RickINFJ]

The views went on for days! What a beautiful day. 😊 That massive tree LB stood by was magnificent. So nice you got some trail magic and had lunch with friends. Thank you for showing Audie Murphy's memorial. Falls are always scary, I'm glad you're ok MB. Rest well bears 🌲🏕🌲

[@CarolynBeninson]

❤what great things you take the time to show. The flowers and wild life and that memorial. what a great adventure to watch

[@carl13579]

The rock piles are likely from farmers generations ago clearing their fields.

[@suecox8355]

You spent more time with your vlog at the memorial than any other hiker I have viewed. 🦋❤️

[@cathyparker6980]

Praise God you were not injured in your fall MB. Continued prayers for my two favorite bears 🐻🐻 (And mascot Ellie’s 😻) safety on this magnificent journey. ❤️🙏❤🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@tgrant74]

Thankful you were not injured!! And thank you for taking the time to give us up close shots of wildlife and flowers and mtn views along the way. Not all hikers do that!! Hike On and be safe!!

[@Peachs1111]

I have been enjoyed following you all and your sharing views & things of nature. Little Bear is so nature for her age and so sweet. Enjoying your interaction with each other and transparency with us.. I am so glad to hear that God answered my prayers for you, mama bear. Always fun glad to see Ben & Alice in your videos. Continued prayers for you.

[@biancastrobel3943]

I’m the first one 🎊 😂. I love watching your videos and following along your journey ❤️

[@saddlepants]

Rufous Sided Towhee, male! The bird... beautiful!

[@karenmoore9842]

You guys are so upbeat and giving us many great shots of the trial. You are showing all the experiences which is great for us who wish we could experience it. Continue on ladies, prayers for safe journeys!

[@otis8888]

Forgot the Audie Murphy memorial was their. Teared up a bit. Keep going Bears. The beauty of the trail only continues. But, you have to earn it. Started going back to the beginning because i found y'all day 61. On day 5 now, you all definitely have your trail legs now. Falling is gonna happen, glad your okay. Happy trails!

You’re going to love them ALL

[@lyndajefferson5929]

The views were just so beautiful. I love the mountains their just amazing. Glad that your ok from your tumble. You two will love Dragons Tooth it is so beautiful up their, wish I could just see it in person ❤.. Enjoy your nights rest and your beautiful day hiking tomorrow 🙂🙂

[@TheGrandmateresa]

So sorry about your fall but glad you are OK. I am always so impressed with lil bear who is so tired and constantly yawning at your end of day closing yet hangs in for the discussion. I would want to put my head on pillow and sleep! Stay safe and look forward to next video.

[@anncox4477]

Beautiful videos, such great attitudes, fun,love of trail and nature. Thank you for your hard work in sharing your journey!

[@20657parks]

I’m hoping to get to meet y’all at our trail magic we’re doing in MD! If not then please know that if you need anything while in MD pls contact me! We’d love to give y’all a free shuttle in to town if needed and we’d love to treat y’all to a town meal as well. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us, I look forward to your vids every morning. ❤

[@toomuchgarden6898]

The stacked rocks and the shak are related to the history of the area you are in. Much of the land in VA was made up of remote subsistence farms and inhabited by tenant farmers and squatters who had been there for generations. In the 1930's the government forced them out if their homes and off their land in order to create the Shenandoah national park and the national forest lands that we now find in the area. The rock piles are made up of stones removed from the ground so it could be farmed. The animosity of the locals could be felt by visitors for decades after the removal. As a side note, many of the families removed were of Scottish Heritage and descended from people who had been removed from their ancestral lands in scotland.

[@colleenbreining624]

Such a beautiful tree. The house was a little creepy with the hay and all. You and LB will have such great memories of this trail. 😊 enjoy the rest of the day. MB glad you are ok. Keep walking.

[@mardeclardy2961]

Agree with the comments about the rock piles being from former farmers trying to clear land for farming. The old building being a barn. They want airflow in the barn to keep the hay from molding. Thanks for the close view of the Audie Murphy memorial and the tree shots. Great job on the trail today. The Virginia Triple crown coming up. Love those spots so much. I hope your weather is good and spaces aren't too crowded as you visit. Stay safe & happy hiking!😊

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

So so glad you weren’t severely hurt when you fell🙏🙏 I feel so bad that you had to go through that. I know first hand how hard that is! I was in Chicago for a Critical Care Nursing education program. I decided to walk around the city. I was walking at a good pace and looking at the architecture of a black iron fence in front of a vacant lot, I didn’t see the 2 1/2 inch iron pipe sticking up out of the concrete! My right foot hit that pipe and I went airborne like Superman!! Came down on my hands and knees. My right knee was hurting so badly! I could hardly put any weight on my right leg. I hobbled back to the hotel and started icing it. I can’t imagine being out there in the woods and falling! My heart goes out to you! You both are in my prayers that you stay safe and healthy for this wonderful adventure! Those views are beautiful 🥰🙏💗🥾🏕️🌲🌳

[@PhillipRygiewicz]

WOW, Little Bear sure has an eye for the "critters" on the trail. You don't want to play "I SPY" with her for sure.

[@rosemarycurtis7038]

If you get the lemonade recipe, please share it with us! 🍋

[@HSSbyNairo]

Oh I am so glad you are okay from your fall. This past Monday I decided to start walking on trails near me and chose a trail that was about a 5.5 mile loop around a river. It was a moderate but technical trail. Roots coming out of the ground that honestly were ginormous and rocks were equally big. Many areas were so muddy and had streams so the trail had planks as walk thrus. Long story short in front of my there was a older gentleman with his big dog and in my mind I thought I’d let them walk the plank walk way first and I will enjoy the hills and scenery where I was at. Next I knew I walked right into a large root. Plunged arms out like a five and face planted. “Luckily” my double Ds helped my landing THAT day. But I also landed on my left hand and immediately swelled like a balloon. The guy came back and tried to help but I was so dizzy and my speech slowed like to almost a stop. It was hard to speak. Local 911 had to call the rescue team with the firefighters because they couldn’t get me out. And at that point I had lost sense of my limbs. Long story short. It’s Wednesday and I have nothing but quite a few blood vessels broken. Bruised bones everywhere and most of all I am thankful to God that I did not hit a rock on my landing. I’ll take swollen hands and bruised shoulders and ribs any day and not what the worse case could have been. I am thankful to the gentlemen and the couple that stayed with me through out the entire thing until my husband arrived even after I was gone on the ambulance. Just so they can tell him in person the details. Their voices were so soothing and made me feel safe. I knew I was okay because they were with me. We had a similar scare my friend but I am sooooo thankful that we both are okay! Shooken up but we are safe and well and healing! I’m kind of afraid to go back on the trails since I’m mostly alone. I haven’t admitted that out loud 😢 but I want to …. I just don’t know if I’m brave enough to go back on trails.

[@BrendaA-treehouselady]

So glad you are ok Momma Bear from your fall. Fear of the what ifs, is sometimes more scarier then the incident. Don't beat yourself up about it, It's all part of the lessons and challenges we all expect to experience and learn from when we venture on the trails. Like a river, keep flowing forward on your pilgramage! You're both so inspirational! Love, light and blessings

[@suemoore1965]

🌞Ben and Alice are amazing🥳 👣(Parachute and DeLorean)💕

[@loririchardson3547]

At the end of tomorrow you 2 will be 300miles from the 1st 1000 miles on trail. Congratulations on all the miles accomplished and happy hiking

[@CL-fr9yx]

Lord, continue to keep these ladies safe, healthy, and happy. Thank you for your hand of safety on MB yesterday. Hike on happy hikers ( stolen from Ben and Alice).

[@mhelen7360]

Thank you so much for showing us the Audie Murphy memorial. I didn't remember that's how he died, but was aware of his WW 2 service and remember when he was a movie actor. Can't wait to read the comments and see If someone knows what the strange piles of rocks on either side of the trail are. So sorry about your scary fall yesterday, MB, and grateful you weren't seriously injured. Sounds like good timing for y'all to be picked up by your subscriber and spend the night in their home. Inspired to continue to be diligent in praying for you. two. ♥️. Goodnight, LB and Elle!

[@catpatrick3838]

The stacks of rocks could be from farmers clearing the land for farming or the area could have been a community at one time (before the land was acquired by the state/federal gov for the forest) and those are the collapsed chimneys of their homes, or both.

[@GeraldTurner-rz2pz]

The AT provides everyone who walks it with a with a close-up view of early American History in the eastern USA. Most of the present generations today need it badly. I, (we), lived it in the late 1940's, and 1950's in west Tennessee. We lived exactly like what you are seeing there in the old home places. We had No water except the springs and rainwater. No electricity. Used coal oil, (kerosene) lamps and lanterns. Drank fresh milk and churned butter from our cow. Cooked on a wood stove. Farmed with mules. Worked our crops with hand tools. We bathed on Saturday in a number 2 wash tub with water heated in the backyard by the sun. We grew or killed what we ate. We made our toys. And....., we didn't know we were poor. Truthfully, Kanati, AT 2008. (and 2025, hopefully).

[@Mwilke3789]

Really appreciate your honesty about yesterday's true character builder ❤️ It's so much scarier when something that doesn't feel threatening or unfamiliar causes harm. Physically and emotionally. It's like when an enemy betrays you it's expected, but when a friend does it's devastating. Hope you feel better soon 💗

[@tonyaburroughs3349]

The noise outside your tent at the end of the video was concerning me...did you guys end up getting to rest this night or was there a rowdy crowd? Just curious.

[@brendatate4822]

So sorry you fell, but very happy you were not injured. I'm glad Little Bear is so mature and able to manage in a situation like that so well. Every time I watch your videos I wish that I had been able to do that with my mom. Happy Trails!!

[@BetterWayLiving]

Your tumble reminds me of the statistic that shows most car accidents occur near your home. In dicey situations you are vigilante because you need to be and then you get "comfortable" because the trail is "fine" and then you fall or trip. And at the end of a day of hiking your body is getting fatigued and we often don't pick our feet up as far or we just don't see that little protrusion that trips us. And maybe the focus shifts to getting to camp etc because your day is nearly over. It all adds up to being ripe for a fall or other accident. Glad you shared it and LB knows what to do. Glad you are feeling better as well.

[@shawnakennedy6544]

I love your videos!! You show stuff that other people don't & you do such a great job at it! Safe travels MB & LB!

[@emilymurphy2926]

You have a special daughter hiking with you. LB is so mature. MB Im glad your feeling better.

[@Stormy-14-]

I’m glad your ok👍👍❤️❤️🐈🐈

[@suemoore1965]

❤ HUGS MAMA 💕 FEEL BETTER

[@chrisnorris76]

Momma Bear I broke my foot standing up from sitting in the floor! I can’t imagine being on the trail. And of course it scared you! It’s not just you but remember how well you have prepared for this trip and you got a level headed girl on your side! Prayers for safety and happy memories!

[@paulalee9324]

Oh that abandoned shack was soooo creepy and I would have jumped out of my skin if LB came behind me like that. So glad you’re ok now after that fall, that you for being transparent, continuing to pray Gods protection over both of you. LB is such a goat!

[@verthosand]

Awesome to see and hear the birds… Eastern Towhee ( beautiful bird), Red Eyed vireo and that Common Raven who was enjoying your company!

[@judithpearson3968]

MB & LB, good morning to both of you. LB, good to keep your mom accountable, but I can fully understand how she might not have been ready to talk about her fall yesterday. Sometimes, you need to process stuff first. MB, I may have to increase my prayers for you. Lol. Seriously, am glad God was watching over you and that you weren't hurt badly. Views today were great, and the forest was beautiful. Thanks for showing the Audie Murphy Memorial. That's something I never get tired of seeing. I hate walking at an angle like the Ledges. Throws you completely off balance. Ya'll handled it like champs. Ya'll are really doing well. LB is a warrior woman. I'm impressed with her stamina and ability to handle this trail at her age. Hi to Ellie. Take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.

[@davidlooney3018]

Thanks for sharing. Always love seeing the Keefer oak and the Audie Murphy memorial. Looked like a nice section to hike and see something different over each hill 😊glad MB is ok. I’ve noticed LB always looks back to make sure MB makes it over the obstacles and through the creeks. Seems she is the leader of the pack or trying to take over lol. Keep hiking bears 🥾🐻

[@HeyJudeinWV304]

I am so glad you are ok from your fall. As always, praying for you and Little Bear’s safety. Thank you for spending so much time at the Audie Murphy memorial 🇺🇸

[@debbieb1320]

I read the Audie Murphy memoir. It was a great book. It made me realize how hard WW2 was for my sweet, brave Dad. I am enjoying coming along on your adventure! Stay safe!

[@MastersMusicMaker]

The Veteran Memorial is beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@MastersMusicMaker]

Opps.. Audie Murphy Memorial

[@xrrtracks]

That big oak tree was just awesome, what a great highlight 👍

[@dpresnell1]

Another awesome video! Yes, thank you, God, for keeping you both safe.

[@gina5827]

So glad you were okay from your fall. 🙌 Continued prayers for safety. 🙏

[@valane178]

I believe those piles of rock were from farmers clearing the land, but not positive on that. So glad you were not hurt too badly Mama Bear. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. You guys are really racking off the miles. Happy Trails....Winkle

[@richardharries3164]

So sorry you had a fall yesterday and I hope it’s helped talking about it today. Really lucky you didn’t get an injury. I’m sure it was a great comfort having LB with you. Great video again today and I’m glad you paused at the memorial and read it out for us. Interesting that it coincides with the D-day 80th anniversary. Love and hugs to you both. R ❤❤

[@CavemanOutdoorsMissouri]

You guys are doing soooo good. I'm really enjoying the daily videos. I'm rehabbing from a broken femur and stained MCL. It's good to see someone enjoying what I live but can't do right now. You two are awesome. Keep trekking!

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

.. Good Morning Bears ... a learning day on trail ... the rock piles , the old cabin , the large oak tree ,, all having stories of there own ... .. MB ,, glad that fall didn't have any lingering issues ,, I had a strange fall once on a steep side hill,, and fortunately went backwards and fell onto a large bush ,, at contact seemed to never stop falling ,, the friend I was with said it was all in slow motion ... then felt like a turtle when I couldn't get up without help .. memories .. over 50 years on mostly mountain trails with no real injuries ... .. LB ,, Ellie has earned her trail ID ,, time to lose the pretty city bow and get her a buff .. she's one tough hikiing cat ... ...Stay Safe and God Bless...

[@BrooksMcLamb]

Sorry to hear about your fall, but happy to know you’re ok. Love that tree, love that trail magic, love all the views along the way. Blessings to you both. Get that rest you deserve.

[@suzannelegeza1292]

So grateful you are okay MB! 🙏 I pray you both get the rest you need tonight, and have a fun day tomorrow with your friends 🙏♥️ .......did your tramily pitch their tents 2 feet from yours?

[@user-zj2mw2qw7m]

Just another day in the woods… kinda surprised your body wasn’t having aches all over today. Hopefully you will get a hot soak in before the reminders kick in. Glad you are ok. Beautiful day, more critters, magnificent views, trail magic, what else is possible? 🌺Gail 🌺

[@MastersMusicMaker]

Super thankful God is watching and protecting you!!!!

[@gregharmon3797]

That sky with the clouds was gorgeous!!!

[@dawnseely1013]

So thankful that mb was not seriously injured... during that fall the day before! Glad that all else was really nice that day.

[@stacymcmahon453]

MB, I am sorry to hear about your fall, but I enjoyed your story about it, if that's the right word. I'm sure it was most scary right afterward when you were contemplating the potential that you were seriously injured and miles from civilization. I know the feeling, especially when there are other souls under your care. But you worked through the situation with your typical presence of mind. I don't want to give you a swelled head :) but I hope you realize what a rare gift that calmness under pressure is. Of course you also have the luxury of solid backup in the form of LB, whom I have no doubt could take charge and rescue both of you if the need arose.

[@tresannrn8454]

So glad you’re ok Momma Bear! I look forward to seeing your videos as you start the triple crown area of trail. God bless and keep you and yours!✌️🙂❤️

[@musingwithreba9667]

I live that tree, and Im so happy you gave it a hug MB! ❤ I can't wait until I meet it myself when I do the trail 😊 I am also very happy that you were not terribly injured when you fell 😯 a knock on the head is not fun. It's always when you least expect it eh? Gentle hugs to you! 🤗

[@williamking2249]

Great views thru here, and thank you for sharing the dangers that you encounter at times, like you said slick rocks ect: Have fun be safe we all have a guardian Angel watching over us, I'd like to think yours softened the fall you took.🌲✌

[@jameswhitman8710]

Those remote “cabins” really have me thinking the family that had lived there and the hard work building it. That in and of itself is a different view of history.

[@wildflowersadventures]

Most definitely!

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video with lots of good beautiful views, that was a big big old old oak tree, and Audrey Murphy was also a good movie star, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@myleahluffman829]

So glad you were ok! I’m sure that was very scary for you. Loved the big tree and beautiful scenery!

[@marilynm5024]

Those ledges were rough. Hope your feet and ankles didn't hurt too much from walking on an angle. Water crossing, memorial, fire burnt woods, trail magic, giant tree. Your vlog covered alot. Falling can be scary on trail. Will be praying for your safety. Alot of noise in your campsite. Hope you were able to sleep.

Rest is key

[@kathyfales8689]

Wow tomorrow is 700, you’re both doing so good! Hoping to meet up and give you trail magic in Maryland. My husband, Greenfeet, section hikes the AT. We feel so blessed living so close. I enjoy the AT in the winter months, a very different hike. Take care and God Bless. ❤️

[@Lovesracing19]

The views were beautiful this day. Glad your feeling ok today. Safe travels.

[@valeriecharboneau308]

the piles of rocks… we have these in NH wherever land was one cleared for farmland. First billion rocks removed from the field would become rock walls around the property but eventually there were just piles or excess rocks around… and yes, in NH you’ll find them deep in what’s now forest which was (unimaginably) previous farm land

[@stacymcmahon453]

My dad grew up in NH in the 1940s and he told me folks back then used to say the rocks were the main farm product of New England. You don't even have to plant them, and a new crop comes up every year!

[@dalevodden1359]

There are some caterpillars that you really don't want to touch because they will definitely mess up your day and just like centipedes you don't want to pick up a centipede because some of them could definitely mess up your day you girls are doing good you have a blessed day stay safe stay dry and happy trails from the unknown soldier 🪖🌹🌷🥀🍀

[@vibelife5133]

I fell on a day hike in the Smokies about a year ago and like you just some bumps and scrapes but nothing serious, I felt very blessed that it wasn't serious, I also fell on blood mountain from tripping in the dark and jammed my hand up pretty bad, that took awhile to heal but again blessed it wasn't worse.

[@Pamela_Army_Chick]

The tree you guys stood in front of reminds me of trees like in the movie wizard of Oz. The old cabin would definitely make your imagination run wild. MB thak you for reading about veteran Audie Murphy. I am a veteran and I appreciate it very much! MB sorry about your fall. Glad you're ok and be careful. LB I think you said you were 4'11' wow you're taller than me. I am 4'10' lol. You bears and Ellie rock!

[@lisasescapades]

What a beautiful hike. Ya’ll are doing so good. 😊

[@CherylHollister-dl9id]

I’m so sorry you fell. I’ve done that more than once on trail and now when I hit a rock or root that could make me fall, I get so scared for a few seconds. Using a trekking pole has really helped. 💜

[@elizabethcole5582]

You two are really starting to kill the miles lately!! AWESOME!!!

[@suehancock5573]

Beautiful views today! I love that old tree! So very cool. 😍 trail magic was great. Yum I sure do want a hot dog now!! 🌭. Sorry MB about that fall but that’s how it usually happens. Just one random little bump in the road and down you go! 🤯😱. I’m so glad you are ok! Goodnight 🥱😴. . You both had a looong day!! Rest up & hike on!! You’re doing great! 🥾🏕️🇺🇸🧗‍♀️🙏🎈😊. Ps you did great on those ledges! 👍 also make sure to watch Audie Murphy’s movie To Hell and Back. He himself plays the part! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@melaniecarlisle4771]

So goad you weren't more seriously hurt MB. Hiking on those ledges looked treacherous and hard on the feet and ankles. That little bird was a Towhee. We see several in our yard every year here in the Atlanta area. Congratulations on 700!! One third of the way to Mt K! Interesting memorial about Audie Leon Murphy. I'm going to watch the movie, "To Hell and Back." Nice trail magic. Hope you are feeling better MB. Please be careful..stay safe and hike on!

[@jamesbonner5989]

Not surprised you have sore ankles. Some good views today, and trail magic.

[@judygoode5866]

Loved all the wildlife you guys have been seeing and sharing. Maybe Little Bear can also be called mountain goat, she’s great on the rock scrabbles. Will pray for your safety as far as spills this one did sound scary.❤

[@lindacummins9888]

Coming up on that creature looking tree night hiking would really freak someone out.

[@gregharmon3797]

There were quite a few fires in central and northern Va this past spring, you will see some in Shenandoah NP as well

[@jillaubin481]

It never failed, but when I fell on my thru I was on flat ground and twice I was in town on a resupply. That pack weight is a whole new factor that pushes you to the ground and then flattens you. I’m so glad you didn’t get a worse injury. I met a south bouncer and he had fallen the day before and had staples cross his forehead. It looked awful. He was slackpacking the day I saw him. He said he fell and hit his head in a rock. He wasn’t supposed to be back on the trail per the Dr and the hostel stopped him from carrying a full pack. He had gotten the need for miles so ingrained in his mind that even with this severe injury he was still hiking so he would loose his tramily. I tried to tell him to get off for at least 4 days but he wasn’t having it and went running down the trail. I was so scared for him. Be safe out there and great vidoes.

[@wildflowersadventures]

Wow, that’s crazy. Nothing out here is worth risking your life. Hopefully he faired ok.

[@mosquitoeslovejohn]

So much enjoying your videos. Seems like you are putting out a video every day which may be spoiling us casual viewers but I’m sure it helps stay connected with family and friends. Started watching when you we’re passing through Grayson Highlands. 👍👍just subscribed today🙂🙂

[@mountainjackietr511]

Loved the Keffer Oak pics! Thank you for sharing! Audie Murphy movies play frequently on the western Channel (star max), Grit Channel, and the Inspiration Channel. You’re seeing such great wildlife; what an excellent education for LB! Hike on! Cheering you onward!

[@hikingwithbinerman]

The old cabin looks like a tobacco barn, because it has wide spacing between the wood.

[@johnhartigan3985]

Did I hear the phrase “mosey” on down the trail? Lol - you guys are hardly doing a leisurely stroll even though sometimes you do make it look easy 😀😊.

[@KarenMurphy-yh4yg]

Glad you were okay after that fall. At least it gives you a chance to review plans with LB.

[@deborahpratt8311]

That view is gorgeous

[@julietrinchard3699]

The angled rocks are trail ? Wow!

[@benjaminbarnett8779]

An old log barn. Hay on the top level.

[@rangerinthewoods]

Those are millipedes you've been seeing. Centipedes look quite different. Heard any cicadas yet? Glad you're ok after falling MB. I had that happen to me while carrying a Panama paint pack. Ouch!

[@beckyraver7959]

So glad your ok Mama Bear ❤❤❤❤

[@wildflowersadventures]

Thank you 🙏🏼 💙

[@kangarooelectricllc7721]

Love love love the giant tree and the pics you captured. All views were spectacular. Question, did u pack a small medical kit for boo boos! 😅 no more falls momma bear. Safe travels and looking forward to day 73. 😊

[@craigmelodierubio1092]

Glad you are safe and not injured. Can you share what type of phone/camera you are using? The zoom is incredible.

[@michaellocke2766]

TRAIL MAGIC!! HOTDOGS AND LEMENADE. CATTAPILLARS AND CENTEPEDES. TRAIL FRIENDS. 😊 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR ADVENTURE.

[@jerrybailey6584]

Great video😊

[@bartetzenhouser2943]

Carins, stacked rocks, symbolise paths. Many other meanings, but such is not the thing here.
