I do look forward to these each day —thank you

Speaking for myself. I am super grateful for you both. What you're doing isn't easy, but to add in the YouTube videos, edits, and posts. Caring all the extra batteries and equipment for a "stranger" in NJ is pretty awesome. So I'm thankful for you both. 😊

Cheers to your pace. Note: soda is known to dehydrate the body when hiking or any strenuous activity. Although, if you are going to drink soda in the morning include double stuffed Oreos. While in the service, my QM1 thought it was the best way to start the day. Thanks for the views and insight. Be well. Wishing you peace, safe passage and good fortune ahead. Happy Trails!

I just think the southern mountains are so beautiful! Shenandoah and Smokey Mts, I guess bc I’m more familiar with them than the rugged northern state mts. 😊

Wow, I almost thought you were back in Pennsylvania there for a moment. But in Pennsylvania, you were actually walking ON the pointed rocks instead of a more packed-down trail through them, heh. Also, it appears to me from videos that the northern end of Shenandoah is more impressive than the southern end. Maybe that's why it makes more of an impression on Sobos than Nobos. Or maybe the reason is that the Nobos often are going through Shenandoah before the trees get their leaves. At any rate, your videos of Shenadoah were definitely more impressive than any of the Nobos.

Pepsi for breakfast, my kind of caffeine!
