[@Sandkei]

Well that was a sweet encounter with the little fawn. It must feel so good to come off trail and have a refreshing shower. Enjoy that ice cream!!

You definitely are the deer lady.😂 take your time and don’t hurt yourself. Stay safe and Happy Hiking ⛺️🥾💞

So lucky to see a wild fawn! We spent a week camping in that area, and had the same deer come through our site everyday at the same time!

So cool that you had a quick encounter with the fawn.

[@mardeclardy2961]

Thanks for the trail pictures & sharing your journey. You have earned a shower & a slack pack day. Good reaction to the fawn. I have never met a vicious doe unless it is cornered and cannot escape or it is a male in rut. Hike on you're doing great!😊

Looked like in your eye.

Just saw another video this week when a fawn did the same thing. Fun experience

[@lynnbailey9976]

Baby came right up to you!! That’s a very cool experience.

Those uphills can be very tiring, especially in the heat. You are doing fantastic. Your videos are great to watch. Thanks for sharing.

Omg, the same thing just happened to me last week! A fawn was sleeping by the trail and started following me. I had to run to get away from him...I wanted to pet him so bad. 😃

[@ElPiedro80]

It was nice to see you already popping up in someone else's vloggers video from Morgan Lambert aka Galaxy.

[@oldwagon-pens]

The ice cream looked good.

Okay, Snow White, should we expect birds to land on your hand next? What a crazy day.

[@edwardgwilcoxjr7232]

Aw! Point well taken. 🧘‍♀️🥾

[@debsmith7050]

Well deserved Zero. Hope the shower and rest got you ready for the next big hikes :) Seems you handled the fawn the right way.... so sweet.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

4:39 This is the cutest AT moment I've seen this season! You did right by taking off when it layed down, Mama will come get it. 😊 Enjoy the zero, the hostel looks so lovely! Rest well Gabby, we're proud of you! ✌️

Glad you enjoyed Shanendoah

[@lisa_eeyore]

OMG what was that in your eye??? That was so cute when the baby deer started following you! I hope he found his way back to his mama!

[@rkatufus]

That fawn must have been very young to confuse you and his mom. Was it difficult to resist picking it up? I love Front Royal, also.

[@jammcc176]

Wise to move on from the fawn. If a doe thinks its fawn is in danger, it can turn vicious and attack with powerful kicks.

[@annabordelon6663]

I would be so lost. I can't see the trail
