At first I thought it was injured, but it was just having a slow and trusting day. I can relate.

I love your channel and you two are like family at this point❤ this particular video is SO beautiful and so are you both😊

You definitely get a pass whenever you need to recoup from injuries, fatigue, and or take shelter from bad weather. Those don’t count against you. You are more important than the miles always remember that you were there to have fun and take us along with you and you can’t do that if you enjoy yourself stay safe enjoy the trail.❤

Thanks Linda!!

Will, you did a great job of editing the dam walk. At 11:24 the way the leaves were blowing made me think of the photo of Marilyn over the grate. Updraft 😂

You get a pass, and you also get to collect $200 lol. One of the bright spots in my day is watching you and captain on the channel. Thank you for being you and being real. Nan

Yes, to collecting that $200. Ha!

Had a chuckle, I think sunshine could be called Tenille and captain would not know what we were all giggling about!

💌Safety First 👍Also icy creek water is great for pain.

I start walking again next week. Hooray !! aaaaaaand that's why I'll always prefer a traditional ash wood hiking staff ...

Don't stress the miles. Just keep moving north. It is easier to make up miles in VA because there are long cruisy sections. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and you will get there. Thanks for sharing your journey!

Hi S & C, I want the bag..Ill buy it!!! I started watching when you were traveling in Lemonade. I dont remember the country you were in. Im texting from Gales Ferry , Ct. I love you all. Your a fun family. Always upbeat and positive. You're all inspiring.

We used to keep our House boat at Watauga Lake,it is a beautiful,clean lake ,There are lots of sailboats there ,too Yes it a TVA built lake ,used for electricity. Maybe a Zero would help you with your Mental Health too ,it’s a real thing on the trail ,I had a friend who had to get off completely because of that .that was 2 years ago and hasn’t hiked since ..,it is very common

The basket on the poles is for snow. They should come off then the tip goes back on without it. At this point it’s too late but when you get replacements take it off.

Ha! Ok, good to know. Thanks Joan.

Captain, I find a small twig/branch about 2-3 feet long and carry it in front of me when I hike early and it knocks the spider webs down before I walk into them. Glad you enjoyed the Brownies for breakfast.

Great idea. He could even use his poles, but it's easy to say "hey mom, do you want to go first for a while?" And then I know I will be silk blazing. Ha

Beautiful scenery 🌳🌼🏞️. I'm giving you a free pass. Rest your Achilles. Hugs 🩷🤠🩷😎

Yes! Thank you!

Safe travels.

Yes! You have to take care of yourselves! You don’t want to do more damage. Sunshine… wanted to hug you yesterday when you were crying. What you’re doing is so amazing and you’re both so strong. Take care of you!

That campsite by the lake was beautiful!!!!!! Almost makes me want to start hiking and camping. Great hiking day. Just wipe out the mile deficit and start over.

You should!

Yes, I feel like I'm on trail with you! You didn't have to tell me you stopped wearing deodorant 3 days ago. :)

Captain, simple solution to your spider web issue is to let Sunshine take the lead😂

Most spider web days he does! Ugh

I thought y’all were trying to pull/get those things off in an earlier video.

Scrap the miles bank, causes too much stress! The general rule is if you’re not to Harper’s Ferry by 4th of July you should consider flipping up to Katahdin and hiking south to where you flipped. Eliminates the mileage stress and you’ll get to see lots of people that you met earlier in your hike as you go south bound. You both are strong hikers and completely capable but taking 3 weeks off is a lot. You really can’t make all those miles up it’s just not safe or realistic especially later in the hike when everyone’s mileage drops because the difficulty increases. Anyway, just my thoughts. You’ll figure it out!

thanks for the tip. We plan to be there by July 4th.

So, did your hike start near the beach parking lot or at Boots Off Hostel?🦋❤️

Beach parking lot

You can use a small drop of tea oil for deodorant & bug bites & antiseptic.

Unfortunately it bothers my allergies. So crazy.

Rest days do NOT count -- with one exception. When counting your daily average distances at the end, you do include your rest days. NOT days and weeks away from the trail completely, such as that time that Largo/Captain had his studies to catch up with -- but resting on the trail itself is a trail day, despite the fact that it also does not count. Do not expect logic on the trail !! Well, anyway, you'll both work this stuff out in your own way ...

Have you considered a flip flop, to give yourselves more time?

addressing this question in a future video. Get ready.

You asked if there is anything else you could do to help us to feel like we’re there with you. So how about you try and describe the smells and aromas. Lol maybe you can focus more on the aromas.

By giving you a "get out of jail free day," you are promoting responsible hiking. Do not push thru injuries.

Yep, of course. I don't want to set a bad example for anyone who is following.

Massage the top of your foot especially where the leg attaches and use a kneading action with your thumb, should help ankle problems a little.
