Flower, I told my wife that I realized why I enjoy your videos so much. You don’t seem to be in a hurry, you show the beauty of the forest, flowers, even the bugs. You also have a very soothing and relaxing voice. Thanks for taking us alone. 😊

Thank you for the compliments! If a person doesn't enjoy the beauty of nature and God's creation when they're outdoors, then they are missing the whole point!

Thanks for taking us along. Thumbs 👍

My husband and I have been following your AT section for quite a while and love your videos. We recently saw that you retired from the USAF; thanks for your service!🇺🇸 My husband retired from the AF after 22 years active duty, and when he retires for the second time in 2026, we are going to do an AT through hike. Keep up the great work!

Yes! I saw a young bull moose on the last section too (on the side of the road outside Andover), but I didn't get him on film. I was so happy that this gal was so chill and just hung out there where I could watch her.

You inspired me to hike the AT little bits at a time! Flower you are a treasure!

I met you this day, you were taking a break right next to the trail and I recognized you from your videos. Glad you saw a moose on the drive, because if you remember right you hadn't seen one up to that point. I think I might have told you where I saw one, which was East Chairback pond where there is an awesome campsite by the water (past the canoe). I saw two moose by the pond at dusk, those were the only ones I saw on my whole trip. It is worth the steep 0.2 off trail. It would be on day 2 of your next hike.

I couldn’t believe when you said you were 40!!!😳 No way! I was thinking about 27/28. . . all the hiking is keeping you looking half you age! Congratulations on another section and I look forward to your next one!

Well, thank you so much for the compliment! I truly appreciate it. I do feel pretty young still, but I can't quite keep up with those in their 20's, haha.

PS. Wish I decided to go NOBO like you, it was really tough having the big 4000 footers at the end of my trip.

Just got back from Baxter State Park and hiking Katahdin, make sure to stop at the Daicey Pond Library and take a canoe on the pond. The views of K are not to be missed, weather permitting.
