The complete randomness of goats running towards you on the trail is hysterical....and weird 😂
The goats must have recognized you from your videos! They must be subscribers!!!
Ok Taylor .. this was my FAVORITE video of yours this year. It was like an action packed movie with GOATS, THUNDER and DRAMA … oh and a BUG in the tent

I have to agree with you George, I think she showed more of her personality in this one than any other. I would consider that day of hiking pretty exciting.
8:00 “Don’t be scared. We Goat 🐐 You Babe” 😅
Omg the petting zoo attacked 😂
Taylor you survived the dreaded leg licking goats of southern Virginia. Yet another example of your legendary status of an Appalachian thru hiker. Onward to Katahdin
You rock! Long miles, goats, rain, hail, and you made it in good fashion with a good attitude. Bravo.
Those goats!! The party place to be!! I am sorry, but it gave me a chuckle this morning!! So glad Fresh Grounds helped yesterday. You have had an eventful couple of days. Those goats have been on several videos..wonder if they escaped their home!! Hope the next day was good. Thanks for the vlog..it makes my day.
That thumbnail is hysterical 😅. What you have to go through to bring us that quality Appalachian Trail content. 😁
A) Fresh Ground is magic through and through B) Yep, I think I'd be intimidated by a bunch of goats running toward me too. C) Walking through that kind of thunderstorm is scary and miserable and draining. Glad you had a safe place at the end of it.
Hi traveling salt lick, glad you enjoyed the goat bath (at first). Ha ha ha
This video had so much going on 😂 seeing goats charge and hearing you yell was quite hilarious. You're amazing.
It was like the goats were SO happy to see you. I was terrified just watching them coming toward the phone. You are a tough one girl. Good vibes only coming your way. I think "Thunder on the Ridge" should be a book title👍🏻
That goat thing is the funniest video I have ever seen of the AT 😂😂😂 I’m dead! Lol
Taylor the GOAT - Hiker 😂 Thanks for sharing.
Making Goat friends on the trail! Awesome!
I think the goats “got your goat” this day but I agree that that many large ones together is intimidating when you don’t know them. As with most, maybe all, herd animals if you do have to get aggressive with them target the lead or “boss” animal. If he/she backs off then generally they all will do so, but I think you handled the situation as well as it could be handled. What a day though! Welcome to the Appalachian Trail!
What an adventure filled day! Goats and a Thunderstorm!
Oh wow. That was an action packed day! I literally lol with the goats. They were so curious! And no, you're not dramatic lol.
Taylor, glad you had a better day. Huge shout out to "Fresh Grounds" for helping Taylor on her journey..and all the other hikers he helps!!!! ONWARD!!!!
The goats have me cracking up 🤣🤣
The goats needed salt. You eat a lot of salty food. When you are in bear country make sure your food and any candy bar wrappers are not inside your pack and put everything that smells of food in scent proof plastic bags. This includes toothpaste. Be ready to ditch your food bag. Bears can smell you from far away. Keep trusting your gut. You are amazing! I have learned so much from your courage. I watch you every morning when I have my coffee. I went on a solo camping trip to Oahu in February and was attacked by teeny mosquitos , bitten by a spider, attacked by weird flying black crickets, encountered 50 mph gusts of winds, rainstorms, thunder and lightening the entire 9 days of camping . It was an adventure, no regrets. Anyone who thinks that you spent too many days sleeping in a warm cozy safe place at night has probably never been a female solo camper. Be well, be safe! This video was fantastic, loved the animals and the bugs.
This was the funniest video you’ve made so far! I think you let your personality shine through a little bit, and it was great. I laughed out loud while hiking on a trail myself listening to this when the goats came up to you. Someone looked at me like I was crazy.
As it was for me in 2015, Goats Do Roam near Pearisburg!
The goats: "A human! Let's play!" Taylor: "No! Stop, you guys!" 😂 That was hilarious, but yeah, a bit random and strange.
OMG! Those are the same goats I ran into last year, Oct 21, 2022 around mile marker 648.1 north of Pearisburg on the way to Pine Swamp shelter! I nicknamed them the NOBO AT goats because they came up and were licking me and checking me out for about 5 seconds then took off heading north on the AT! I managed to get them on video too! It was just what I needed at the time since I was feeling a bit lonely and down. Really enjoying following your journey and thanks for mentioning us on your day 24 hike. I am one of the SOBO hikers you met on that stretch going thru the Roan Mountains in early April. You are definitely an inspiration! KEEP GOING! YOU ROCK!
I laughed so friggin hard at the goat army hahaha. Im up here in Maine watching and preparing for next years AT hike :) You are awesome
That Dunkin is bad news It’s so addicting Glad your day turned around You can always restart your day Gratitude can be your attitude Da Breeze
Goat attack!! Wow. Too funny! Glad you got through it. 😀
What a strange day filled with mixed emotions and goats.... who would have thought goats!!! I saw Ramdino's report, it's so crazy. Glad you're okay..😊
The force is strong with you young Nahamsha! Enjoying my home state of Virginny!
The goat whisperer. Enjoying your journey
Taylor, now that was funny with the goats. They just wanted to be friendly! I always carry a whistle on a string around my neck, it will scare off most animals. Glad your sports were back on the positive side. Keep the videos coming, following your daily vlogs!
It's wonderful to see how the Lord provides what we need when we need it. Glad you are recharged!
I cackled over the goats 😂😂
Love the goats! And your whistle is upside down it’s driving me crazy! 😊Happy hiking
Yes, Freshground, has shared alot of love with the AT. Think I met him in 2011-2. Thanks, bro, man . . . eggs O/e, toast n' grits! Doing really well, 'Namzha' . . . see you up the trail! Loved the 'goat attacks', make use of hikin' stix.
I love goats! that made me laugh. The thunderstorm though, that would make me super nervous. Great video!
I like to see the trail
It’s not the bears that you have to worry about on the AT...it’s the goats! 😁
No, you aren't dramatic, thanks for sharing the highs and lows and the goat attacks. Please keep the vlogs coming.
Love the goats. Looks like an exiting day.
That is a gorgeous ridge, especially looking to West VA. But no place to be for a hailstorm!. Glad you made it down to the Pine Swamp.
Wow, what a day! I remember seeing those goats on another hikers video. It's so weird.
Keep thinking Happy Thoughts, Taylor!
The POV is a great view. Someone should hike the AT like that
No no no no no!! This vlog was sooo funny. Right Cody?
Just finished that section of the trail and I had a brief encounter with the goats and a rather large black snake. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.
Good video with lots of good views, 😂 some deers, lots of goats 😮 and a rabbit 😅, more rain, so let's keep on hiking..😊
Love to see you smile. You and Stella brighten my day ❤
The goat “ attack “ was crazy. Be safe.
Good Monday morning. 04/24/2023.
Glad you got to hike that part of trail you missed last year. The goats were funny. Hate it started raining so bad before you got to shelter. The deer were beautiful. Safe travels.
I'm glad you got to see the 🐐 lol. I live on the WV side, and we have had some farmers that those goats escaped from. They have actually been up their for a couple of years now. Safe journeys!
Haha 😆 loved the 🐐 goats!
I live on a farm in NH with livestock, including goats. It was strange to see that many goats in the woods. I can tell you that goats LOVE salt so no doubt that being sweaty made them converge on you. Definitely an interesting video!
You will always remember this unique day hiking. Keep your spirits up 👍. Your channily is cheering for your Nobo adventure successes.
What a legend! I'm happy it all turned around for you yesterday ❤
That was one of the more interesting hiking days I have seen in a long time lol. Days like that make memories for sure. Except getting soaked in the rain, I call it a great day.
The Good; The Bad and The Fury! Stay strong Nahamsha you are doing great despite the obstacles!
Nahamsha -- The Goat Whisperer ... Be safe; keep at it!
You're great and keep smiling. Glad you're feeling better. Take care! Rock N Roll
Ahaha this was a real roller coaster of a day! Thanks for sharing the ups and downs and keeping it entertaining.
The goats were so cute!!!!
Beautiful!!! Trees and hills...I've been there VT.
Was about to get up but saw this was the next video and wanted to see the goat situation, lol. Did this section about two years ago as part of the triple crown. The shelter on that ridge is probably one of the most beautiful have been to with the view. Also ran into a thunderstorm while on that ridge and in the open; probably one of the sketchiest times have had on trail. No goats though, lol. Happy trails!
Take care sending hugs 🤗 ❤❤
The goats! Hahahahaha! So weird! 😂
The goats were hilarious-as was your reaction.
Inspiring! Keep going strong😎

@Howard Thiele, agreed 👍! Hello from Poland and my channel 😊
Well I'm definitely glad you were in such a good mood to start the day! It's definitely one you will talk about for the rest of your life.
The goats were hilarious. I am guessing they hang out on the trail for handouts. Generally speaking, they are very social and not dangerous. However, they will eat almost anything.
Those goats just wanted to become your new tramily. You're not dramatic. Being in a thunderstorm without shelter is no fun. Fresh Grounds, Dunks, tour of Va Tech, goats, deer, bunnies, cockroach, and a thunderstorm- this video will make a "most memorable" episode one day.
Glad this crazy day came after you were refreshed! Now we know about the goats - funny since we know you are okay 😂 Hope you got dry warm and rested
Note to self: next time take a few handfuls of goat chow to slow down the charge LOL That part was funny, sorry it ended with the storm & hail!
Thanks!
I think I was one of the section hikers at the shelter that was going south. It's been interesting to see you do parts of the same trail. I'm enjoying the videos. It's also interesting that KZread suggested your videos and I recognized you. The Almighty Algorithm speaks. :)
I like when hikers show the hard days. Happy trails 👣 🌻
The changes on the trail are real!! Nice job! You fought those goats off heroically 😂😂
That was quite entertaining for your viewers, although probably not so much in person. Thunder, hail and rampaging wildlife make for great content. About the only thing missing was a tsunami 😂
This vlog is hilarious 🤣🤣 already saw the goats on your insta and it’s still funny, my husband and I are cracking up. Seriously though I’d be freaked! “The party place to be for the wilderness” “am I dramatic? No I’m not dramatic. This is a dramatic situation.” You’re sooo over this day 🤣 we can all laugh about it now lol
Wow, what a day! Not sure which was worse, the goats or the storm! You were very brave through it all! I hope tomorrow gives you extra rewards!
Crazy goats!! 😂
Enjoy your hike
Slow down for the VA Triple Crown!
The goats!! 😂🐐🤣
Goat attack was funny as hell
Fresh Ground is the best!
On Chasing Blazes’ video she said that she ran into hikers who also ran into the goats and they ate one’s hoodie and ate the straps off the other person’s trekking poles. Frizzle ran into them too but they passed her by and she mused that perhaps it was because she smelled so bad!
God is continually blessing your hike,His mercies are new everyday 😊❤
That was highlarious.
Dunkin Rocks!
Bet the goats were happy to see a hiker with short shorts, thinking now we can get enough salt for the day! LOL
Those goats did make me laugh 😂sorry
Your ok . Your Guardian Angel is with you.
Bless your heart that was a lot in a day. The goats were just a little to nosy . The hail and rain was bad enough. I hope you had a good nights sleep that night. Stay safe and Happy Hiking ⛺️🥾💞
Oh my ‼️What an experience that was for you....one that you will always remember. ..that's for sure..Now that you are safe it's a hoot!
Talk about “highs and lows”! The day started out so good! Did fresh grounds take you back to the trail? I love your comment, “I am not being dramatic, I am in a dramatic situation.” It’s true, between a herd of goats literally surrounding you and then thunder and rain storms, you handled it well! Thanks for another great vid, so glad that your safe!
Omg what a day….those goats!!! You’re a tough gal, Taylor…
Great video, Taylor. Lots of drama & excitement, just like a Steven Spielberg movie. Even so, you made almost 20 miles. Impressive. Walk on.
