Candy Mama here! yes this used to be a couples account with my husband named "THE DOWER DUO". We have since rebranded it to feature my individual adventures.
a little about me~ wife first, adventurer second! I have thru hiked the Appalachian Trail and Mountains-To-Sea Trail. I am the fastest person to ever hike the Mountains-To-Sea Trail spanning the length of North Carolina. 1175 miles in 29 days! I've also set FKTs on the Benton MacKaye Trail and Colorado Trail. I enjoy creating wanderlust content and trail running!
I hope you enjoy!

Got me hooked with the announcement. Rooting for ya and watching for more.
You had me at naked man. 😂😂😂 This is why I’m reluctant to travel too far by myself. I hope he was okay! Hope your ankle gets better.
It’s totally worth it! But I understand the reluctance
Laughed out loud here. Her facial expression and remarks as she tried to make sense of that one.
What a day!! Laughed so hard.."just saw his little........but."
😅😅it was so eventful!!!
I was a marathoner, and I cannot imagine running over random icy rocks, leaves, and mud at or anywhere near 23 miles. I mean, at that point, a random friendly golden retriever comin’ over to me on a flat trail could give me a pulled hammy! Very impressive!
Thank you 🤘
We're hiking that section of SNP in May. Thanks for the preview.
Wow, you are super tough! Get that ankle rehabbed and get this FKT done! 👍
Thanks! I’m going for self-supported next 🤘
I bet the guy was trying to soak up the magnetic field and the sun or something. Building up cold tolerance is a thing not sure why he needed to be completely naked. Glad you got outta there! One time I saw a naked guy walking across the trail in GA in the early, misty morning. Completely naked, he never looked our way or acknowledged our presence. We got the heck outta there. This was over at the "Cheese Factory" south of Tray Mtn. Love the footage! Can't wait for your FKT! Be safe and rest that ankle! Thanks for packing out that trash too. People are ridiculous, makes me sad.
Running up that side of the priest is very impressive WTG!
Hey Slim! Thanks. The climbing was the easy part this time 🤦🏼♀️ that’s not always the case but when the ankle isnt cooperating it is
@@taratreks anytime I pass someone coming up as I go down I always say "bless you my son"
I agree, the priest is no joke. Great job.
Great job... Hope the ankle rehab goes well..
So far so good! I’m feeling better. Stayed off it for a couple days and then did a partial trail run today without pain
I cried. Could not stop laughing throughout the whole naked man part. Also loved how you just kept running through the whole thing. Naked man or not, you stayed on pace. #cantstopwontstop
It was fun going back and editing that part but in the moment I was dumbfounded and befuddled 😂😂
Hope your ankle heals up soon
Thank you 😊 me too!
Three ridges is one of the most underrated climbs on the AT. Imo
Beautiful but sort of relentless
Great videoTara! Glad to see you still out and adventuring!
Hi Tina! Of course! Going for the AT FKT this year too
Yay!!! Jan and I will look for you to blur past us when we go on our section hike! @@taratreks
great job awesome run , but it was really funny , im mainly concerned for your safety , but now that i know your safe , i have to say it wasthe funniest running comentaries ive ever read . Just thankful he didnt try to stop you
Yes agreed 🙌
Awesome run.. great workout and beautiful scenery. Surprised no bear spray.
Thanks 👍
The bears are asleep
“Theres a lot of flesh colored things in the woods right now…”😳 Nice run!
😅😅😅 you know what I mean Alpha CAT 😂😂
@@taratreks I need to be careful or this is going to stick… 🤣
@@KrizAkoni 😂😂
Winter AT is my personal favorite view😊
Yes! So much to see in the winter!!
Great!!!
Amazing job! I wonder what David Horton's time was through here. He trained a lot on these climbs.
Thank you! I love this loop! Definitely coming back to better my time
Impressive!
Thanks Gabi♥️
It must have been Hike Naked day.Great run.
I was thinking the same thing but isn’t that during the summer solstice?
Some people get confused.He must have been really into the nature hiking.
Those gloves are so much better than straps I've been using them for years.
FKT "Fastest Know Time", I am 68 so I try for the SAF "Slow as F*#K" time, I tore up my knee and it took me 3 days hobbling to do that distance back to my truck then drive myself to Emergency Room.
Jeez that sounds pretty tough! I’m sorry 🙁 glad you were okay though
I did it in one day...lol. Hard hike for sure.
I hope you run while well armed. The app trail is more dangerous than Chiraq, tho few recognize so.
I’ve only run into one murderer out there in my 10 years of adventuring on the AT 😅😅
Hey Thanks You still Rock girl.how are you liking the shoes
😊 thanks
The Queen is a tough lady! Yeah just running up to the priest is tough, but doing it naked WTH! Lol
Keep up the badassery 🤘
Yeah that guy was on something else
My wife and I once encountered a fully nude man while hiking in the Monongahela National Forest in WV. Crazy people out there, stay safe!
It’s quite alarming!!
Take it ez gal
Twisting your ankle on the downhill could be serious. I’m not sure how you run some of these trails.
I was hiking a state park this week and there were smashed windows on the side of the trail. Like who does that???
Incredible job! Nothing like the surprise of nudity to take your mind off ankle pain…for a bit anyway.
Do you run marathons? Just wondering.
After seeing the cover of your book I already know the answer. I'll be buying it soon
Thank you! Yeah I love trail ultramarathons and have done several marathon run distanced events. 🙌
@@taratreks will you be participating in the Canadian death race in Alberta the first week of August? 78 miles with 17,000 feet of elevation gain
@@spectrum10 no I’ll be on the AT in August
Wow, that made me dizzy.
Naked guy? Naa,.. probably a Kwyjibo (Simpsons reference)
I recommend magnesium to lower risk of ankle and other muscle sprains. The Magnesium Miracle, Dr Carolyn Dean.
Barefoot running has gotten out of hand 😂
😂😂 naked running is the next thing
The people leaving trash behind did not get to that point in life. They were born into it with terrible parents.
That’s what I thought. Very sad 😕
SMH at the dude on the trail naked?? It's not even close to hike naked day, gotta wonder what was going on with that dude. I know you didn't make the time you were looking for but great time none the less.
Thank you!
Vlogging an FKT your a machine
Did the naked man have a small tattoo on his upper right thigh?
I didn’t see that. He turned the front side away from me as I got closer
John Muir must roll over in his grave every time someone says FKT.......
It’s just one dudes ideal of how to spend time in the outdoors. I enjoy the outdoors in my own way.
You are one pretty lady. I rarely see my type, like ever. Maybe I'll see ya on trail 2024!
I don't get it 😅
The naked guy 🤣🤣🤣!🧊❄
😬😬
Ummmm…. You need to carry bear spray and tell your loved ones where you are going! Love you but mad at you
@@onwardwithOmi 🤣🤣🤣
Nude hiking is a thing . I’ve seen a lot of people sweat through their clothes. Wet clothes are less warm. I’ve done nude winter hiking , snow shoeing ,cross country skiing, ice climbing. It’s invigorating and freeing and my clothes stayed dry for when they were needed. Are you new to the outdoors ?
No I’m not. Ive never seen this before.
@@taratreksYou also need to carry less water 💧, because you haven’t sweat it all into your clothes. The worst case I saw was a guy snowshoeing who sweat through his down jacket, but he carried a gallon jug of water 💦! There is a balance of hydration 💦 and temperature management …….😊
It’s a sad pity current gymnophobic self loathing society has criminalized our own bodies , unlike the Greeks and Romans who celebrated them. So , free thinking people have to escape the misanthropic people. It has varied acceptance in the wild depending on local repression. If you get a chance and you feel safe …….free yourself from the textile oppression.
Stop gaslighting her. "Are you new to the outdoors". Give me a break. This is nonsense. Nude hiking in the WILDERNESS or on private land is something that's fine for anyone that wants to do it. Sure. I'm not gonna hate on people who want to go around nude in their own spaces. Not everyone who does that is a weirdo or pervert. But you don't do that on PUBLIC trails that are not very remote and then gaslight other people using those trails when they are startled by naked men where naked men should not be. Are you new to public indecency laws?
