    Whis is it right to take a short day and stay at a luxury cabin? We only walk a short day because we are running out of battery and because we are ready for a break. Nothing but honesty here.
    Day 4
    Start - Woods Hole Shelter (Mile 27.7)
    End - Neel Gap (Mile 31.3)
    Miles walked for the day - 3.6

    I was happy to see you met Orange Kitty since you have a cat. I am loving your adventurous spirit.

    As someone who has found you through your Camino videos at the time, the small daily ritual of making the number of the day with you both in it too, makes me nostalgic (or sentimental). Wishing you all the best on your trail (and to Will as support line too).

    • @WorldTowning
      @WorldTowning  Před 29 dny +1

      Awh, the Camino, our heart. We are bringing back several of the rituals. CNN to ATNN! It's coming. Thank you for joining us again on another hiking adventure.

  • @murielle2663
    @murielle2663 Před měsícem +3

    What a delight to come along with both of you on this epic adventure! I loved your Camino Frances series and I am eager to follow along on this one. Largo, I enjoyed your Camino News Network daily updates! Hint...hint 😉Enjoy the journey and this special time spent together❤

    • @WorldTowning
      @WorldTowning  Před 29 dny +1

      Shhhhh! We have not brought that part back yet. It will be a surprise when it does happen.

    We’re planning our first Camino right now, going in February. I’m going to start watching your Camino vlog as I can’t get enough of all things Camino right now! I thru-hiked the AT in 2014 at the age of 50. Your videos bring a smile to my face and good memories everyday so thank you for that!

    • @WorldTowning
      @WorldTowning  Před 29 dny +1

      You will love the Camino. We did it in 2028 and vlogged everyday. It was so great. The vlogs are some of our favorites. Especially because we were able to vlog with the drone as well. You will get an incredible view of the trail from what we posted. Buen Camino.

    The shoes on the tree also represent the shoes of hikers who completed the AT, shoes that have worn out and shoes that hikers didn’t like. Cheers to your enthusiasm. Wishing you safe passage and good fortune. Happy Trails!

    One of the good things about the bear vaults is that you can sit on them. 😉

    • @WorldTowning

      Absolutely. At camp, the people with Bear cans have the best seats in the house.

    Totally thought that was a surprise visit from Avalon in the store (braids and blue coat)....had to rewind to verify it wasn't. Thanks for sharing your adventure. I love these daily videos and look forward to watching them each evening. 😻

    • @WorldTowning

    My Aunt & I ran off the side of the mountain down from Neel Gap in her VW Bug when I was a little girl. We somehow managed to get out of the car & hiked to Mountain Crossings & slept in a phone booth until my Dad came & found us. Love seeing this memorable spot in all the AT videos!

    • @WorldTowning

    Enjoying waking up to your daily blog! I walked 4 days of the AT but we were able to go cabin/lodge to lodge so we didn’t have to carry as much!

    • @WorldTowning
      @WorldTowning  Před 29 dny

      Fun! We see week hikers all the time and they are fun to chat with. Yep, so nice to get a shower in a cabin after.

    You two are hilarious

    • @WorldTowning

  • @jennifercocharan4526
    @jennifercocharan4526 Před 21 dnem

    I would switch shoes back and forth. It helps with your feet aching and concentrates on different areas of your feet. I usually have hiking sandals with socks and hiking shoes...
    Half of my walk I switch.....then The other half.....switch

    • @WorldTowning
      @WorldTowning  Před 21 dnem

      I may start doing that after I try out my Altras for a month. I can do that since Will is nearby and we will hopefully see him more than once a month now. Thanks for the idea.

    Good morning I am very much so enjoying yawls hike. I went to Nails Gap and did not know they had sandwiches in there
    . Bummer. Wish I would’ve . Stay safe and continue to eat. Lots of good food and have lots of fun.

    • @WorldTowning

      Only 1 so far, but I hope more...small ones yes. Ha

  • @Raskolnikov2055

    4,800 feet. Very tough. NY has only one or two just above 5,000, and not on the AT.

    • @WorldTowning
      @WorldTowning  Před 29 dny

      We were at almost 14,000 two weeks before the hike and could barely breath so we just kept saying "not as bad as Machu Picchu" Ha!

  • @julianlord5366
    @julianlord5366 Před měsícem

    eh, not everything. I saw no beer, just a load of sugar drinks (which are essentials for hikers with a fast metabolism). I saw no traditional leather hiking shoes or boots. No cotton t-shirts and no jeans !! (some of us do still swear by them) The socks all looked like they'e made of hydrocarbons, though I'm sure there's some 100% wool in there as well.
    Oh !! I carry a comb. Also a pair of scissors.
    I guess your World Towning AT sea woolllen hat is appropriate ...
    Pizza looks OK -- it's hard to get Pepperoni in Europe, so I'm biased towards yours, as I miss that kind of pizza ; but I do live about 17K from the Italian border so we're OK here too !! 🙂

    • @WorldTowning
      @WorldTowning  Před 29 dny

      Things you miss all over the world. Yes, we had a pepperoni pizza, but we are really missing a solid Diavola pizza right now with red pepper oil. Yum!

    Blood Mountain is not the highest point in Georgia. Brasstown Bald is. 400 feet taller. 😄 And the highest recorded temperature there is 84 degrees. So a bit different climate than the rest of Georgia.

    • @WorldTowning
      @WorldTowning  Před 29 dny +1

      Thanks for correcting us, we did learn it later on. We loved Georgia though.

  • @brettanddebbragoodall2066

    Well I have been watching/listening to you and your team for years (since 2800 Subscribers), You have done an amazing job raising your two children. I did walk the Camino the year before you did, and I really liked your promotion of it on here. I know that you don't know a ton about the Appalachian Trail, But it really will test you BIG time. Right now please enjoy every moment with your son. 🥰🥰

    • @WorldTowning
      @WorldTowning  Před 29 dny

      OMG wow, thanks so much for being here since 2800 subs!!!! Big hugs! Awh, and the Camino, it will always hold a special place in our heart. Yep, it is testing us BIG time, it is no joke, but each day we are getting stronger.
