Yes it was!

[@ashleys_sadness]

I loved seeing Bad Bat (Beulah), Julia’s Time Out, and Taylor the Nahamsha Hiker. I have enjoyed their videos.

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

What a beautiful video!! It was so awesome to meet you on Friday! I introduced myself to you while you were standing by Taylor’s booth. Thank you so much for your kindness and encouragement! Looking forward to seeing what place you’re going to next🥰🥰🥰

[@peaks4pounds]

It was great meeting you!

[@notquiteultralight1701]

Peaks!! This was awesome! It was great to see you so happy! You know… I gotta tell you this! As I followed along on your vlog, I could see you slowly increasing your distances per day and walking faster. You were improving the whole time. You can do this. Totally! Last November I took a glance for the first time at the AT vloggers for ‘23 and found one random vid of BADBAT and I was instantly hooked! She’s badass and she went through a lot during her journey. She looks great these days and it was cool to see her. Great to see you Laura and yes, you have some unfinished business to attend to and I know you will!💪. Take care and peace! NQU

[@peaks4pounds]

Thank you!! 🥾♥️

[@sandrap3047]

Great you got to meet Jessica & Largo! I’ve been following them for years. Started watching them when they first started RVing in Europe, then sailing the world & now hiking the AT. Love that family! ❤

[@peaks4pounds]

They are great!

[@cindie9668]

[@peaks4pounds]

Everyone together = Amazing energy!

[@LeaC816]

It looks like you had so much fun!! 😃👍🏻 It’s great to see you smiling and enjoying the crowd. I remember you saying that part of why you were wanting to hike the Appalachian Trail was to get you out of your shell and help you be more social. I don’t think you could get more peopley than where you’re at in this video!!

[@peaks4pounds]

You are right about that! It was so much fun. 🥾♥️

[@wendygrw]

Excellent! I see you with Nahamsha and also Bad Bat! Very cool. Looks like a ton of fun!

[@peaks4pounds]

It was a blast! Can't wait for next year! 🥾♥️

[@KrizAkoni]

Epic good time!

[@lindasimmons-pe9ew]

I wanted to be there so bad to meet you and the the rest of the people I follow. Sadly I had to work 😞 But it looks like you had so much fun which is awesome

[@peaks4pounds]

Hopefully you can make it next year! 🥾♥️
