Appalachian Trail 2023 - Spence Field to Ice Water Spring

Welcome to my 2023 NOBO Appalachian Trail Thru Hike!

First, let’s review my one request for viewers: negativity, shaming, bullying etc will NOT be tolerated in the comments, towards me or anyone else, so if you can’t be kind, be quiet, or you may find yourself blocked.

ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! Subscribe now and follow along as I hike 2198 miles from Georgia to Maine and become a Triple Crowner! You can also find more of my trail updates on Instagram: @ms_rebecca_ann

I’m still partnered up with @HyperliteMountainGear as an ambassador so if you want to take advantage of 15% off your order, use “BECCA15” at checkout! They have a lot of great new gear, like the Unbound 40L pack I have with me on the AT, and they just released a 55L for those longer hauls.

For anyone interested in being a Trail Angel from afar and providing Trail Magic, any amount is ALWAYS appreciated, so if you’d like to buy me a cider in town or help with a resupply, my Venmo handle is @bergstromra

Thank you so much for watching and supporting. These videos are my way of journaling so I can watch them later and relive the adventure, but my hope with sharing them publicly is that they’ll spark inspiration within you to get outdoors and/or follow your passion. We’re only given one life and it’s meant to be lived, get out there and live it!

Team rocks here. Loved how you filmed the "dad" asking questions, thinking you all were supporting one guy. Good of you to enlighten the crowds and spread knowledge!

[DASHToTheEnd]

I'm the same way. After being in the woods day in and out, when you stumbling into a mass of sight see'ers my only thought is "get me out'ta here!!"

[jamesadams]

Don't worry Skittles, the rocks will stop in Maine.
Newfound Gap is ALWAYS trail magic.
Hike safe, Hike strong, Have fun!

Becca, sometimes it's a little hard to hear you. Other times you come in loud and clear. 27 miles, that's amazing. You go, girl. Great sunrise. That egg sandwich looked great. Made me want one
too. Take care and stay safe.

Congrats on Clingman's Dome(200 miles). You're a little late in the season so Trail Magic may be less frequent than a month earlier. Some of the thru hikers that are now in PA were getting trail magic almost everyday in the beginning. If you keep putting in Skittles mileage days, you'll catch up to them before Mama K(I remember those incredible 30+ mile days last year). Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick

Thanks glad to see a smile on your face at the end of the day. ✌🏻👊🏼

All that socializing! The trail magic is nice. But, give me the empty western U.S. any day for backpacking. Keep on trekking.

[yosconisi]

Team rocks... you will love NH and Katahdin

Yay for Kitchen and his trail magic - and Team Rock and 27 miles!

[frolege]

Mr. Kitchen is an awesome trail angel name

[Karen-dqnw]

Fun to watch, but that is waaay too many people for me to hang with at night. During the day, no problem. I would avoid the shelters entirely! Just too much sociality. Glad you're enjoying it!

JJ Abrams lens flare shots. The production value continues to improve the further you hike. Bravo!

[stuartrollings]

If you haven’t showered for awhile you can usually clear the sightseers out of the way…a trail force field!

[hikerbikerclutz]

Team Rocks! 🤘 yup newfound gap is my second home. It's always full of peeps and questions . Good thing though. 💛

[jamesbonner]

Now you can see why it's the most visited National Park. Awesome miles today !

[GlfFish]

Can see the Smokies from our neighborhood so understand where you were. Wish you the best for the rest of the AT. Be safe.

[thomasdecarlo]

Oh my god how to ruin a good day hiking in the woods with that insane lookout point …..

[db.mc]

Thanks Becca, stay safe and take care my friend 🙏 🙂

[RobertSmith-kmgi]

Clingmans dome is busy but you ain’t seen nothing until you get to the top of Mt. Washington on a nice weekend day.

[robertbarnes]

You are killing. I don’t think I seen anybody knock out the Smokies in 3 days.👍👍
