Fabulous! After following many AT through-hikers on KZfaq, it is an absolute joy to encounter someone with some natural history knowledge to share with us. Thank you!

Your entry in the Springer Mt. logbook says it all, "Heading to Maine!" Great video. I appreciated your inclusion of the nature information (the Hellbender, hemlocks, pileated woodpecker). At minute mark 6:35 those Snickers were giving you a message...K N...Katahdin Northbound!🙂 You had a beautiful day that God and/or the Cloud Seeding Service gave you.🙂 Thank you for this video and the time it took to edit. I enjoyed it very much.

Like my Dad used to say "One foot in front of the other and follow your nose". Good luck on the journey. Awfully early start.

50 degrees light winds, beautiful sights , clear paths and views- good people to meet- you are in the right place at the right time! 🌿

Good luck, and please stay in touch.

When you get into Vermont and further north, the white blazes are fewer and far between. There might even be days where you only see one or two a day in southern Maine NH, just FYI.
