Leap frogging cars is a great idea and good tip on knowing what GAP means on the AT. As the season changes to fall the green tunnel transforms into a colorful oasis of beauty along the way. Mother nature tends to dampen our plans now and then eh? ☺️ Thanks for sharing the journey along the way with us 😀🌲

It worked out great leapfrogging cars. I can't do that all the time but when I can, it seems to work great.

It was raining for 2 days and super heavy thats why I didn't go out. I didn't catch that on camera.

My goodness RVA 100 miles walk! certainly out of my league. I liked the music track choices. Healthy eating on route though.

Nah, its not out of your league. If I can, you can. I am not doing it all at once. I am doing in like a weekend warrior or mid week warrior. LOL. One step at a time really adds up to miles. And right now, admittedly I am really out of shape after taking 2 months off from hiking over the summer. Trying to get back at it doing what I love. Thanks Countryside Walking for watching and commenting. Appreciate it. ~RVA~

We've been getting a fair bit of rain up our way lately as well. Noticed a language difference in your video today! What you call Gaps, I believe we call Notches. I'm wondering if there is a fundamental difference, or just Northern New England being our weird selves. Bet that green tunnel is going to be golden tunnel in your next video or 2. Those trees look just about ready to turn!

Ah like Mahoosuk Notch. Probably the same thing I would think notches = gaps. Fall leaf changing is well underway. They are saying it's supposed to be a really great year for color, I guess the perfect conditions for it. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Really appreciate it. ~RVA~

PA, I haven't hiked that far north yet. Only to the PA state line. They call PA "rocksylvania" due to all the rocks parts of the trail. Cool you have hike the AT. Did you go to college in PA?

@@RVAHikerGirl I didn't go to college in PA, but I did enjoy several study-tours there, when working towards my Masters in Arboriculture. Loved the AT. Some years later, I was also fortunate to enjoy some long distance hiking in the mountains of Oregon and California. Such wonderful and diverse landscapes.

I’d love to see about any part of the AT, I’m from Michigan and rarely can make it out that way so I’ll continue watching your channel! I returned that favor, a big sub and like from us at JB Outdoors!

Too bad the weather didn't cooperate. Those deer sure got pretty close to you.

@RVAHikerGirl 2 жыл бұрын

The deer were everywhere! Tons of them. Since it's a national park, the deer know people can't hurt them so they literally come up within feet of you.
