[@mkerr5077]

Hubby: Are you going to cook dinner? Me: nooooooo Carolyn has a new video out now, I just got a notification! Priorities !!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

That is too funny! Haha - Love it!

[@sandymiller8206]

Seeing your huge smile the whole path of the bridge, I knew you had decided to keep going! Congratulations and I can't wait to see the vlogs to come!!!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you Sam... glad you enjoyed the video! Haha

[@rachelh1989]

I've lived here (western Washington) for five years and I never get used to how dang beautiful it is!

[@jhale6699]

There's something about arriving in our fifties that's beautiful...a certain wisdom, determination, and acceptance of self..an inner peace and ability to press forward. I admire you on this journey and your perseverance and watching a new growth you're coming into. I relate. Thanks for being a good example and for sharing with us...I'm loving Washington's beauty also...🥰

[@laurac5451]

We need to teach this to younger people as well. Manners yes but be the you that you were created to be.

[@mariearmstrong1258]

Your a rock star, amazing. Thank you for taking us with you on this once in a life time journey.

[@keyplayer5]

So beautiful!! Thanks for being there for those of us that can’t. 😊

[@michaelwellman2899]

Carolyn, my wife and I live in Trout Lake, and weren’t sure if you made it here. We have watched your videos for some time as you RV’d and decided to hike. We have hiked many parts of the PCT over the years, including the North Cascades from Canada down to Stehekin. Watching your video is just like being on the trail again. Thank you. Mike and Jeanie Wellman

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Hi Michael, I LOVED Trout Lake. What a wonderful and kind community. I'll have some video of it soon! Thank you for watching! Carolyn

[@patriciarussell7487]

Still want a new Carolyn shirt.Something like,"I hiked with Carolyn,and boy are my fingers tierd!" You go girl! Was scared car would hit you on bridge! 🤗Knew it!👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣

[@bforgiveness]

Love the idea of the shirt, can so relate!

[@freetob1]

Lol more like, "I hiked with Carolyn and boy does my ass hurt" heeeee Amazing Carolyn!!!

[@RedSpiralHandTV]

Those are wild roses and they grow all over the PNW.

[@thesecretgardengal]

WooHoo! The videos are getting better and better! Thank you for sharing your raw self. Its so damn appreciated. Glad the fall didn’t take ya out.

[@daydreamer1911]

I can't quit now!!!! Awesome. From one non-hiker to a HIKER, let's go! Thanks Carolyn for all the beautiful places you've been and made accessible to all of us. Godspeed!

[@riskybizness00]

Rock on Warrior Woman! Continued blessings!!

[@terraquest7957]

Oh my gosh! I didn’t expect this.....I thought Bridge of the Gods was the end of the line. Well, keep on keepin’ on, Carolyn. I’m thoroughly enjoying sharing your journey.

[@Nibblesgamer4567]

Terra Quest My heart knew she was going to keep going! WALK ON LOVE...🧡🧡🧡

[@LillianLouiseInNature]

🧚🏻‍♂️🏔🏕🌲🌿🌼yeah! It is so beautiful there. I am glad you continued. I love the greens in your photography. The light and leaves are amazing.

[@terrimosier4393]

I just knew you were going to keep on going. Love the mossy trees. Thank you

[@patriciarussell7487]

Scared me when you fell.Glad you didn't get hurt!!!💙

[@GrandCynth]

I find myself breathing hard right along with you while you’re doing those steep inclines! And the scenery just keeps getting more spectacular! So glad you kept going after crossing the bridge. ✌🏼👍🏼

[@faithrada]

I'm glad also .... just not sure her feet were. 😫

[@mablebartlett1988]

Your complexion is rosy and clear which tells me that this journey is good to you. 👍🏼

[@bluebird7470]

👏🏼 Applauding your determination, your accomplishments thus far & that you are going to keep going!!!!

[@JodysJourney]

I have really enjoyed watching this series, your hike. So inspiring.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks Jody!

[@laurirohr5364]

Yay! Continuing on! Now you're here in my neck of the woods☺ Blackberries & ferns always a dead giveaway you're in Washington. I'm rooting you on Carolyn🎊🎉. Happy trails & be safe.

[@boo07675]

You are so endearing. Your honesty and frankness is so heartwarming. You are a wonderful inspiration and I thank you for uploading your amazing journey through the PCT. 💖

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Aww... Why thank you boo7675! Glad you are enjoying it - more to come!

[@mysticalmisfit1332]

Yaaay! I’ve been following for a little while now. I have to say, I was smiling with you on that bridge! That was the happiest I’ve seen you! You were grinning ear to ear🙌🏽🙌🏽 I love to see people happy. 👍🏽😊 CONGRATULATIONS !🍾🎈🎉 You Rock!!

[@Tiberius291]

That grated bridge brought back memories as a kid on a fishing trip and I was afraid to walk across it but I mustered up enough courage and pressed on, my companions were none the wiser.

[@MaisleyVanGo]

Can't believe how quiet you were when you fell. I would've been cursing up a storm.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Sandy, it's funny you say that. I thought the same thing in editing... I would normally swear. I think the Go Pro made it look a lot worse than it was- and at that point I was so tired and so used to falling, that it was just another day on the trail. LOL

[@loriadams7724]

Yay Carolyn!!! Thank you for taking us on your incredible journey ❤️💜

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Lori, thank you for joining me! I appreciate your interest and enthusiasm! Carolyn

[@cabbking]

Wild roses.

[@gloriadelgaudio2902]

I can understand why you wanted to continue - what a difference a state makes

[@troygoss6400]

i so admire your warrior spirit. thank you for sharing your adventure with us. blessings and much love

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you very much Troy. hugs, Carolyn

[@shewhotalkstothewindanne3377]

Yes the extra water is heavey, u will enjoy the coffee in the morning though . An uphill walk sound exhausting. Yes u will be able to bounce a quart a half dollar off your backaide. Just think how buff u look compared to the way u looked before u started. Memories never fail at this point, all the animals u have seen, all the nature along the way... even the sounds of the creeks will stay with u as u watch the videos. It will all come back

[@confabulouscruisers]

Beautiful scenery, looks like you're handling this hike like a pro. You are inspiring.

[@1gapeach0519]

Walking across that bridge knowing you at age 50+ solo made it all thru OR and into WA must have felt so great! What an accomplishment and you're still going!! Yay Carolyn!!😍

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks Pamela - it felt so good to get to that point, I had to keep going!

[@BlondeGranny70]

I lived growing up in Milwaukie, Oregon. We had wild blackberries and ferns too. Also, lived in Oak Harbor, Washington. Loved the beauty of both places. Gotta love the sound of the running water.

[@CharlieB.-]

I KNEW you had it in you to continue to push forward! ❤

[@suepeterson5675]

Wild Roses my Lovely ! 💖👍😊

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You really think so? They looked more like carnations than roses and didn't smell like roses...?

[@katadair8783]

Definitely wild roses

[@laurawrld2097]

Definitely wild roses.

[@daveogarf]

@@laurawrld2097 - Hence Portland, OR's nickname of "Rose City" - which should be appealing to you, Ms. Rose. Wild roses are very different from our cultivated varieties; we have a few in Colorado as well.

[@laurawrld2097]

daveogarf it is, since I live here.

[@janeeley1604]

Oh wow. How different the forest in Washington is. I love that you are taking us with you. Thank you for showing how beautiful and how hard it is. Oooops a daisy, falls and all! You’re a trooper and a battler!

[@kayleen5067]

When you said that you weren't stopping your journey in Oregon, I got the biggest smile on my face for you! Hope you enjoyed your trek through Washington! The PNW is such a magical and special area.

[@jessiec1044]

Yay! So happy you continued into Washington! I am enjoying your hike so much. Thank you for sharing.☺

[@kernowprincess]

You look absolutely tired out but certainly have great determination and courage persevering onwards...you are a real inspiration to many Caroline...may God give you the strength to carry on, you are brilliant!!! Xxxx

[@discovertheozarks1863]

this is a beautiful veiw. we have some bridges like that here in arkansas crossing little red river.

[@jkhawk1967]

btw, the motivation and joy in statement "I quit now" is just so terrific! you rock!

[@barbsterback]

Good for you. The challenge is real but what's life without a few chalenges. Proud of you.

[@egtravel]

Woo hoo! Congratulations! I knew you'd continue. Great progress! It's so beautiful!

[@diannawilliams761]

I loved the berry pick, it is a blast to be able to go outside and work around and nibble, I feel rich too having it in my own garden

[@cryliberty11]

So glad you are continuing your trek! I am enjoying your hike vicariously and watch them as I exercise walk each time.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Aww, thank you and I am glad you are enjoying the journey Renee!

[@yrankin1]

Wow. So amazing you continued through all of the pain. And those Brutal uphill climbs! So beautiful for us armchair hikers.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Hahah - I like that term "armchair hikers" - well I am glad you all have decided to keep up with the journey! Thank you and Hugs to you!

[@70scatgirl]

Yay!! The adventure continues 💕. Happy Trails 😊

[@Sheila-vl9xk]

I am so grateful for this beautiful journey you have taken us on. Thank you 🌳 🍃 🍂 🌲 🌳

[@kreynolds6424]

"What ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" ya got that right... Welcome to the beautiful state of Washington...

[@thizizliz]

So much hardship yet So much beauty! What an amazing experience. You are woman, hear you roar! The fresh berries were a delightful treat but so is adequate water. I'm on the edge of my seat!

[@RhondaRichter-1234]

Just amazing!!!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!! I lived in Battleground, WA. Just beautiful. My favorite place in the whole country!!!

[@kristinesoto2092]

Hi Carolyn I just came across your channel this evening and I can't stop watching it you're 52 you've already did 500 Miles hiking in Oregon I'm from Oregon nice to meet you Klamath falls you inspire me I'm 53 and I couldn't do a quarter of what you do what an inspiring woman you are may God shine a light on you thank you for sharing your videos

[@bevtrue6937]

Wash is soo gorgeous. So glad we got some of it. Wish i could be there. Good job!!

[@elisabethe8055]

Happy that you decided to keep going! Happy for all the grand views that awaited you and to be able to see them through your eyes, cause i know you will appreciate them!

[@becca66087]

I rarely comment, but had to say........wouldn't have blamed you at all if you quit. Did a big YES!!!! when you didn't! You are just an inspiration to so many of us.

[@ednarichardson4975]

So beautiful Carolyn ,,,,,,thank you for sharing🌹

[@Lisa-pp5zv]

I'm so excited you decicded to keep going....I just knew you wouldn't quit. You are definitely not a quiter. Thanks again for sharing your adventures.

[@mariamaria00]

Never the less she persisted!

[@Pops5]

Ok. So I avoided social media and anything Carolyn until the time was right to watch this much anticipated vlog on the big tv... Not disappointed!!! So happy to hear your choice to keep going. Washington is beautiful and GREEN!!!! You also answered our wondering about carbs, fat, and protein balances for your fuel. You are looking especially awesome with your smile bringing everything together!! Thanks for continuing to share the PCT. Hugs&Love Always, Ms Rose

[@irhonda31]

I was thinking you must be in really good shape by this point! Another beautiful video!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Aww, thank you Rhonda - and glad you enjoyed the video!

[@chillytoes337]

The berry bushes are like a little trail treat! I like the moss covered "everything" too, makes me think of reading stories about areas like that! So you're trekking on, glad to hear that! You seem to be in better spirits today too! Go for it girl! You're doing a fantastic job!

[@aikanae1]

We used to call hiking poles "web whackers". One nice thing about overcast skies is that it makes all the greens look neon. Cameras can't really capture how brilliant the colors are.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

This is so true - But I am glad they capture it just enough so that others can enjoy it here! But in person, it's just... "wow"

[@dixxebell]

Thank Goodness I know if you quit you would never get over that feeling of regret...It's wild roses that you saw there...Black berries grow here too and I can never resist..Ive been following 3 PCT hikers video journal and you have given the viewer the most accurate record of what backpacking is really like! Good journalism.

[@mobile_noble4026]

Glad you went on!! Wow everything is lush & green!

[@lisetteboucherfortin4775]

Well what a shock I was so sure the bridge was the end ahahah ..the best videos ever ..

[@cherylcampbell7495]

I knew it..continue on love.what a warrior 💕🇺🇸

[@cathymc8365]

I knew you wouldn't give up! Can't wait to see the rest of the videos!

[@marlenemcmillan8891]

That's pretty dam amazing watching your video....its real you're real and I'm really enjoying this... way to go ..

[@BettyBooPiggieToo]

"Go Lost Spoon GO"

[@mykirbs2002]

I’m happy you’re continuing your journey ❤️

[@lovesalaska1329]

Glad you kept going! You’re amazing!

[@micolebrooks7305]

When you fell, at first I thought you just dropped the go pro & my inclination was to say (actually out loud) “hey we fell over here!” Like it’s FaceTime or something 😂

[@brainmaker4495]

Foraging makes me SO happy. Blackberries especially!

[@Princess-sf4xf]

Seeing your bright beautiful smile as you walked acrossed that bridge made me smile. I do see your weight loss not that you needed to loose any but you're looking great!!!

[@paulacazalas284]

So beautiful. Thank you for going on to Washington.

[@glendawoodward8750]

You are about 2 to 4 days from some of the most breathtaking views anywhere on earth. Take it easy on the berries if ya know what I mean 😅

[@A10TOES]

Wow, the woods in Washington is so beautiful & lush. You sure scared me when you fell, glad you were ok.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you and yes, it really is so beautiful in Washington!

[@crisdelgado6338]

I love Oregon but oh man have you found my favorite scenery. Absolutely beautiful! Just need to get into some redwoods now lol. I hope u can keep going and stay healthy. Those climbs are tough!

[@weebeevillaging587]

Cris Delgado sorry there are no redwoods in Washington.

[@TUSSCANNY]

Hiking is not my bag but nature gets 100%. I'd rather do that trail by horse 🐴. The scenery is so beautiful. Waterfalls are outstanding. Peace and quiet are my thing. God is quite an artist 👨‍🎤. Thank you Jesus for the beauty you gave us. And let there be light. Amen

[@susanwood9678]

I would have thot stopping would be honorable given foot issues, but I'm glad you are persisting. You inspire me. How are the feet?

[@1020LAStep]

Well good. I really enjoy your adventure.

[@donnadoering5125]

Thanks 😊 very much for taking us with you on your hike, it's beautiful scenery. And those Berry's make me hungry. You sure are a trooper 😎 and looking great. And shurely you can bounce a quarter of behind. Love from Canada 🇨🇦 🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️

[@scooterrazza8037]

I have followed You for a long time. I love your videos. I can't believe the guts You have. I think I'm more scared for You than You are for Yourself. Stay safe.

[@kclmt2010]

WOOHOO 🙆‍♀️🎈🎉 Shine on Carolyn!!!

[@islandbirdw]

When I’m going uphill slow I try to look closely at the ground for all the tiny lichens and mosses that I just think are super cool 😎

[@marysellers3923]

Good girl!!!so proud of you. I knew you could do this. So glad you are going on.!what great videos. It'd hard to video and walk up hill and talk!!love ya girl. Keep looking around every curve!beautiful video. Hang in there!!!so great!! Be safe and happy!!God bless you!❤🙏

[@tammymartinez7488]

I knew you wouldn’t quit yet!!! I’m fairly certain will see you at the monument in the end!!!!

[@joniloverin7343]

Way to go!! I found that bridge very scary to cross! You are such a bad ass hiker Carolyn❤

[@sicchuckie]

I will agree that was beautiful place, it’s been awhile since I watched your channel. You are really living now. WOW.

[@jimmyjones4095]

Good luck with that quarter. What you're doing can only help you. Stay hydrated.

[@dianediane1245]

That's awesome that you are continuing!!🎉💪🎉 If only they had hot springs at the end of your daily hikes!!🌲💚☀

[@dani71johnson]

Yes, you continued! I’ve watched most of your videos and have enjoyed them all but I have enjoyed these PCT trail videos the most by far! I haven’t commented on any before last nights video, I’m not much of a talker. But I just had to tell you how inspirational you are! I’ve been dreaming of being a full-time RVer for a couple of years and hope to one day make my dream a reality. You are such a great person, I hope to meet you in person one day!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Well thank you so much Dani for deciding to comment!! I hope you can as well - it all starts with a dream! Keep up the planning and I am sure things will work out... and I hope you find my videos helpful as your planning! Thank you again!! Hugs to you!

[@marylingardner6587]

I'm so glad you decided to go on..

[@barbveenstra8625]

So happy to see you continue on....only 506 miles to Canada!!

[@karenbrandt2592]

I didn't think you'd quit. You're no quitter!

[@mayanne5409]

Wow Carolyn, congratulations yiu are in Washington. Such an incredible accomplishment 💙💚💛👍👍👍👍👍

[@nancylagoyda5337]

I know I say his a lot but, you are amazing! Washington is so beautiful!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Aww that is so kind. Thank you Nancy!

[@cherylcampbell7495]

The ending about the quarter was hilarious..💕

[@crisdelgado6338]

cheryl campbell yeah and she’ll have to get herself a lil black dress to go with it. Lol

[@li2779]

I am beside myself at the thought of you walking an average of 10+ miles in a day..and then getting up the next day..and doing it again...for 50+days!!💪 You are traveling through a piece of heaven (such beauty), but I'm guessing your sore muscles might say otherwise. Your mind must be even stronger than your body has proven to be...God speed🙌 and🌞

[@valerieniebling4670]

I think this video was my favorite so far. The scenery is beautiful and you really seem at peace with your hike. Love the walk over the bridge!

[@scottt8424]

Hey Carolyn thank you for the video I enjoyed it and don't be so hard on yourself
