I appreciate the kind words regarding Green Mountain House Hostel. I know many 2024 hikers watch your channel and we look forward to hosting many of them next year…thanks to your recommendations.

You've been inspiring to me. I'm 55, last year I could not hike a mile. Now I'm hiking Texas State Parks. Inclines and rock scramble preferably. I'de rather be in the woods than anywhere. My favorite hiker vlogs are the push I needed. Maybe some foot care suggestions next time. Hiking socks, swelling and blister prevention info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Good video! Glad you mentioned Above the Clouds Hostel. They were my lifesavers for my solo LASH hike of the AT in Georgia. I wouldn’t have made it without their above and beyond support. I am 66 and owe my success to Lucky, Achilles and shuttle driver, Michelle! Great hostel!

The Notch and Green Mountain House are excellent hostels!

Hostels like those must give you an awesome experience. Unfortunately we do not have them here.

My favorite zero was at bear mountain bridge motel! Super cool place

I would be interested in knowing how trail angels “find” hikers. Is it just a matter of knowing at what point the trail exits a parking lot. Are some locations more popular? Does Fresh Ground keep in touch with hikers via text?

Loved reminiscing with you on your journey! I feel like I'd be too tired for yoga, but I love that you took advantage of it!
