We Planned An Easy 12 Mile Day.. Then Went Back To New Hampshire! | Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike 2023

This two week Maine hiking trip came to an end a little early and I didn't quite finish all the miles left of the Appalachian Trail. Update video will be soon! Definitely ask any questions you may have in the comments.

Omg..I do understand. I have watched every video on both AT hikes!!
Will watch for the finish. Thanks for these wonderful videos!!

[RedStickLouisiana]

I really respect your decision. It shows maturity and good business sense, plus it gives us something to look forward to as you make plans to finish the few final miles of your hike. Thanks.

[debbieriddle]

Kinda crying at this one. What a great friendship you have with Cody. (Yeah, Ohio!)

[Northwoods_ME]

I went out SOBO from Abol bridge 4 days after you got out on the KI road. The trail the first two day was a cow path and I fell 3 times! The suck is real!

[keithpearson]

'moments of suck' is such a wonderful phrase...

[jk-cjly]

It's good you got off trail. Your hikes have had no joy or sense of fun, even before the bad weather. Focus on what makes you happy, work on your successful business, and post when you're ready. Cody is a good friend.

So glad Cody could join you for the 100 mile wilderness as well as climbing Mt Katahdin. I'm sure his support was huge & made your hike more enjoyable & safer. Kudos to Cody for taking time to join you from Ohio. Hope to see more of your vlogs. They are so inspirational & your smile makes my day! Take care. Hope you can complete the 87 miles of the AT in the near future.

What a great guy Cody is. 😊 What the heck, .1 to go, and a final river crossing to re-soak your feet! Until the next adventure, take care Nahamsha. ✌️

That whole “I need to pay the bills” is a real thing. You do what you need to!

I have followed you sense you started back in February & even went back and viewed your copulation posting of your entire 2021 AT Thru Hike & also started following you on your business YouTube channel. You are a very accomplished entrepreneur, and YouTube channel vlogger. You having nothing to prove to your subscribers, they love you & support your decisions and only want the best for you. I have subscribed & watch no less than eight 2023 Thru Hikers, each one offering a different perspective of their Appalachian Trail experience. But you Taylor whenever I come back, you’re the one that’s at the bar that I judged all the others and that does not take away from what they post it. I’m still following two a NoBo & a SoBo both soon you’re complete by summer team Katahdin in Maine or Springer Mountain in Georgia. Lol love you but especially you sparked a desire in me to get out more this year to try some hiking and plant a seed with some hope that I might try to through hike, but if not that at least two section hikes and experience some of the moments and share and meet some of the people on the trail and possible share the great trail experience while the 71 year old body can. So I’ll leave you with my hope that I see you finish the trail this year but if not, it’s all you through hiker say it’s your hike. God love you and may you continue to be blessed with the love for the outdoors, and all the experiences you can add to your life.❤😊

Taylor, you are killing me! When do you think you might finish???😂🐻🐿️⛺️⛰️🐿️🐸🪱🦃🦨🌲🦔🦦

[DanJackson-nlom]

Rumor has it that there was a sudden drop in viewership by all other vloggers the day you and Cody joined back up. In kindness you both decided to “drop out” in order to give them back their viewers. Just what I would expect from 2 class acts! Thank you both.

[leedanielson]

Taylor after watching your recent videos, I know for a fact I’m not gonna ever through hike the AT!!!😊👍👏🏻🏕️🐿️🦦🐻🗻⛺️⛰️

[dorothypinckney]

Still a fan no matter what Taylor! I always enjoy your videos and it was great to see Cody back out on the trail. Keep on hiking!

[kathycasey]

It was fun watching you two hiking together again. It seems like you could finish up with 4 or 5 day hikes. Thanks for sharing Taylor!

[GrumpyForester]

I'm glad to see you two safely off with a bit of Nahampsha hospitality for Cody before his trip home to Ohio. Hopefully you helped him with his Google Map plans so he can avoid Canada on the trip home 😁. I'm looking forward to your future vlogs and certainly hope you can knock out those last 87 miles in better conditions to complete your second thru-hike on the AT. Thanks for taking me along on this trip...

[malcolmcheney]

Well done, Taylor. You truly embody the mantra, 'Hike your own hike' for all the best reasons. Nice to have Cody back for this stretch as you contemplated the many decision points thrown at you by the weather and terrain. Hope you can complete the final 80+/- miles soon when it will be a bit warmer. You will then be a 'Thru Two'. I have enjoyed your videos since your first hike and appreciate the time, skills, and imagination that went into each video. Mac

[patricek.]

You did well to accomplish all that you did especially with the wild weather conditions and so many treacherous water crossings!! It's good to share the difficult choices to remain safe while hiking.

[anneoconnor]

Cody you are an amazing friend !!! Few people have someone in their life like you .
Taylor thanks for sharing your hiking life — I will miss your videos — until the last few miles .

[lynchleanne]

It's ok to stop when its not fun anymore! In terms of completion, think of the extremely hard obstacles you overcame and completed on this 2023 hike! Well done!
