HUGE Change of Plans.. Flipping up to Katahdin & Night Hiking Baxter State Park | Appalachian Trail

[@SkogmanFamily]

Gail was so helpful to our family last year! 100 Mile Wilderness Inn is the best!

[@scaber]

It is fantastic to see you and Cody hiking together again. All the hiking logistics made me think of Grandma Gatewood who just rambled along the trail to become the first solo female thru-hiker of the AT back in 1955. Imagine the freedom and challenges of the early AT hikers.

[@ALORDW]

It is so good that with all the bad weather and logistical complications Cody was with you. Hard/bad things are always easier with a good friend!

[@denisedoering2265]

Love when things don't go as planned and you have resilience, determination and drive to delve into life's Plan B. Great job, love following your vlog.

[@RickINFJ]

Nice job rolling with the punches guys. 💪 Take care ✌️

[@sallymason9938]

And with dd.. everything is right in your world!! Gotta love those comforts!

[@jasonbushnell2004]

Ugh, the haters on this one. Hike on, rock on, you’re fun to watch and an inspiration!

[@waynecolburn8849]

You are so funny. Such a pleasure to see your videos.

[@valerieblouch5409]

It makes me so happy to see you hiking with a hiking partner! Trails can be rough and full of surprises. Having a partner just makes sense. Also, you seem happier! So glad for you!🙏💞

[@Elizabeth-pt4bv]

You said it best. It's what works for you. How you connect the blazes isnt as important as connecting them somehow. It's a shame Shaw's charged you and wouldn't open the gear shop. At least you finally got to hiking, and you were on your way. Love following along. 😊

[@davidschmude]

Now I understand Cody’s video. I thought Hiking With Braids’ 2020 thru hike was complicated but I think yours is right up there with her. 😊

[@frankdotyjr]

Life throws you things and it's your job to use them in the best way possible. I'd say you and Cody have done just that!! Shout out to Cody...it's good to see you back on the trail w/ Taylor!! 😎✌👍

[@black_dog_barks]

All of which proves all Hikers are just that, Hikers... people who enjoy nature and exercise. You are NH Hiker. a woman of the woods.

[@patricek.466]

Doing the miles -in either direction makes it complete! Love the views!

[@chriswhittington294]

I guess hiking is not much different than regular life! 😂 Life also throws wrenches at you out of the blue and you just have to roll with it! I hope that you & Cody have a great hike! So nice to share this with a good friend like Cody. ❤

[@HollyDryden-j2x]

Good thing you have a friend with you, at least you can laugh at the stressful times! :)

[@sharrison3974]

Interesting to see all the logistics and it will have been a new experience to hike southbound!

[@kenmachine9951]

❤ Hey Taylor you are amazing.Your videos📸 are great.I think your plans are very good 👍 Ken NC

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Thank you for sharing.

[@jackcakeblack]

So nervous that you forgot your shoes! I guess you got new shoes. Cody didn't see the GPS router was going into Canada! Hopefully your worries stopped once out of Baxter state park.

[@sweetcaroline6724]

I am still lost at how you got the shoes back or got new ones :-)

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

I got a new pair at shaws

[@sweetcaroline6724]

Thanks and great luck with the rest of the hike!@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker

[@jimhumphrey]

I watched Cody's vid last week so I knew what to expect but excited to watch your vid.

[@trailandtravel]

Wow this looked really stressful. I’m glad you both figured it out!

[@JulieJordanScott]

Love how you're rolling with it and continuing to move. An inspiration as always!

[@randywineke5416]

Crazy day, but still having fun and heading North than South. Stay Safe and HIKE ON!!!!

[@leedanielson7452]

Things are getting exciting!🤣❤️👍👏🏻🏕️🐻🏔️

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video with some nice views, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@barker316]

night hikes are awesome!

[@hdbinnc8583]

Wow! What a day! Well done to the both of you. Keep charging regardless of the direction 😊!

[@mathfan0918]

Well, this adds some variety to your two thru-hikes and makes them somewhat different, ha.

[@johnsandell4501]

Taylor and Cody flexible hiking 👍👍👍

[@wendygrw]

Love your flexibility and ability to let go of the NOBO identity to become a SOBO flip flopper! As you said so well, you are hiking your own hike. Way to go!

[@samhklm]

Wow the weather has made for some tough choices for you. As you say "Hike your own hike". I am sure the trail cares not which direction you hike or how long just that you are there. Stay safe.

[@catchheronthefly4532]

Lol, what an adventure! I hope you got your money back from Shaws since you didn’t stay there. Can’t wait till the next video.

[@debsmith7050]

Hike your hike!!!

[@sallymason9938]

You are wise. You are a barefooted dunkin loving flip flopper and can still smile and laugh. Life is good and can be too complicated at times to get you down!

[@paulfritz7796]

your one of 3 people i followed that made it all the way

[@GenX_outdoors]

Good for you overcoming obstacles. Have fun and HYOH.

[@frolege1]

Lots of DRAMA but you made the BEST decision ... flip flop

[@MrMarkmtn]

There are definitely times to stop and take a deep breath and say WTF am I doing, then carry on. It's all good.

[@lightwalker4558]

I stayed at Shaws several times and had no problems booking a bunk or private room. Their Hiker breakfast is legendary along with Poet's send off during trail drop off. I hope to return next fall to hike the 100MW again. 👏🤞

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

I had a good experience there in 2021!

[@all-to-Him-I-owe100]

Well now you can see if you think SOBO is easier or more difficult! (Well at least for the state of Maine :)

[@tomellis3218]

Taylor I am so interested in seeing how this all works out. Praying for your safety & success. I may have said this before but my pseudo niece completed her NoBo thru hike of the AT on Oct. 4th 2023 summiting Katadin. 😊

[@GreatFaithAdventures]

Loved this one!

[@ericneff9908]

I was wondering if you'd do this. It's a smart move.

[@kathrynwallkowicz7223]

Love love loveALL OF IT

[@randysmith9493]

Love it, Natasha, Hiking does bring out versatility, Looks kinda like the opposite of "not about the journey, more of the destination this time, soo cool, HYOH,👍🙏

[@tommybewick]

Who's Natasha?

[@randysmith9493]

​@@tommybewicksorry, Taylor the Nahamsha Hiker

You definitely have to be able to shift plans👣🌻

[@T.C.216]

Outlast and Outplay!!!!! Don't let your fire get snuffed out!!!

[@leedanielson7452]

Who would think that hiking is so complicated…😂

[@beckyleheny8636]

Nice crazy hike , you must be on day #????

[@obikedog]

Roll wit it!

[@N4sir98]

I wished you had explained how the food drops work, and you never mentioned how you solved your hiking shoes crisis. Safe hiking and I'll look forward to watching future videos.

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

I scheduled the food drop with 100 Mile wilderness in. You'll see us receive the food drop in a couple days. And I got new shoes at shaws when they opened their gear shop that afternoon

[@kmannewyork]

That’s right. Hike your own hike

[@rmccarthy175]

Loving that seeing a McDonald’s made you teary eyed 😂❤

[@susietopspin]

Omg the hiking labels are killing me 😂😂😂, IMO, if you hike from Maine to Georgia whether SOBO, NOBO, flip flopper, whatever…. However you do it, you are a thru hiker…PERIOD🤣. Happy trails. 🤟🏻🥾🏔

[@leedanielson7452]

Very true but…… We must have labels!😂😂😂

[@leedanielson7452]

Taylor when I want to go hiking, I just grab my sneakers out of the closet and go……. I don’t have to think at all…😂😂😂

[@RedStickLouisiana]

Does the car have a hard-wired Dunks seeker onboard?

[@gabicerrahikes]

I’m dying over you getting excited over the McDonald’s 😭😂

[@johnbarns548]

Everything fell into place as karma usually provides. Love monsoon and millinocket Maine. My hubby and I always resupply and shuttled with Phil Peppin at 100 mile wilderness adventures always excellent service.

[@philipplouffe9041]

you are and your hiking is Hogan"s goat

[@orcachick2005]

I feel like GPS should let you know if the route you've selected is going to take you through another COUNTRY. I mean, Apple Maps will give you a heads up that a particular route has tolls at certain times of day. And that's a far cry from entering another country!

[@stevenr7014]

Shaw"s PR dept needs some reworking. Many thousands will now see how they failed.

[@rvrswmr1953]

There's a lot to be said for using a paper map instead of GPS...yes, I am old-school (and older) but maps have never let me down. Comment is in reference to Cody's drive from Ohio to Maine.

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

He had his paper map printed out 😆

[@tammylee6342]

Did Shaw's still charge you for the room????

[@toadlguy]

I knew you would be a flip-flopper (eventually) 😂

[@lisagoesoutdoors]

Can I ask the fonts you used…??

[@BrendaGreenfield]

Taylor, doesn’t it count when you hiked So Bo on Mt Katahdin with Cody recently?

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

I haven't hiked katahdin since my 2021 thru-hike. So to complete this 2023 hike, I wanted to hike katahdin again

[@leedanielson7452]

First!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@frolege1]

I'm never first anymore

[@jenspencer9906]

Didn't mean to reply to your comment Lee lol and where'd u get your new shoes Taylor????? So many questions 😂😂

[@nataliestephens9909]

Cody...how is it living in OHIO? we're looking at moving to the DAyton or Cincinatti area. We are originally from Missouri and are now living in Florida bur don't like it here and are looking to move again, but don't want to make a mistake again and move to a state we'll end up hating.We are planning a trip to check out Ohio before we move there and see if we might like it better than Florida.

[@goonbuggy1135]

Whats that 3 failures? Gotta put that content out i guess.

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

When did I fail?

[@williambranham6249]

You may not be credited with a thru hike with flipping and flopping. 😅

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

Why?

[@williambranham6249]

It was a jab at the Appalachian Trail Conference. My comment was based by based on your experience during the shut down of the trail during Covid . I think you did a heart felt video on the treatment or rejection of your thruhike status during that time. With the weather issues you have had this year and now the NOBO to SOBO it seems ATC might give you a hard time again, although they WANT YOU TO HIKE YOUR OWN HIKE. Does my comment make more sense .

[@maxinemead8918]

The ATC actually encourages flip-flop thru-hikes. @@williambranham6249

[@BobBroeking]

🤔🙄

[@bird.1980]

too bad about Shaws....must have used a credit card in advance for them to charge you

[@lightwalker4558]

Maybe it's not too late to dispute the charge with your creditor?

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

They ended up refunding us after a little bit of a fight.

[@garyb5877]

Everyone loves Shaw’s but if they screwed you over maybe Shaw’s isn’t what everyone says it is ? Just saying.

[@adkeric]

How is someone in 2023 still not muting their GPS?

[@drewray681]

It’s all about Jesus

[@paulfritz7796]

im assuming you cant do this by yourself no confidence love watching people grow on the trail dint mind your first trip but now you dependent on this guy no more self confidence.

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

I hiked 2000 miles by myself. I have plenty of confidence lol. Just thought it would be fun to hike with my friend for the last 100 miles

[@paulfritz7796]

i would like to see you with your hubby @@TaylortheNahamshaHiker

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

@paulfritz7796 so you called me dependent because I hiked with cody, but now you want to see me hike with my husband? I'm confused

[@paulfritz7796]

seem like dependent on him for motavition or grit you hubby never hiked so it would be like watching you start out again but with a new person @@TaylortheNahamshaHiker

[@tommybewick]

​​​@@paulfritz7796let's be honest here you're just jealous of Cody and thinking that her husband's probably jealous too? Honestly if my wife was spending all that time with another guy I would be jealous too.

[@dennismcauliffe9094]

lost interest in this AT hike. too disjointed for me. sorry but good luck

Thank you so much for informing me!
