    Father God, Your goodness and beauty are on display in the trickling streams, the beautiful mountain horizons, the light that glistens through the trees on those early morning sunrises, the green mosses and the inspiring singing of the birds. May Chad and Jen experience You in your creation every step they make. Grant health & healing to their bodies and bless them I pray…

    I hope you can start experiencing the joy of what you are being so blessed to do. It’s hard, but joy comes from doing hard things. So many of us wish we could do exactly what you are getting to do.

    What a way to start your day with the beauty God has created. Didnt look like a big waterfall but it was a beautiful one. Happy hiking

      Yeah the iPhone can only do so much. Never does justice for the scenery, but all the water features stop us for a moment .Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Whew… that BEAR (dog) startled me too!😮 Before you even commented about your change from the day before I was thinking… wow they really seem like they’re settling in! I appreciate your honesty in sharing your thoughts and feelings. Praying for you guys!

    I loved Franklin! You can't beat the Hilltop. Mr Patel is so nice and although the rooms are dated they're super clean.
    I'm glad you two are taking advantage of the slacks. Good move!
    You can't go wrong with a pair of Hokas.
    Doing great!

    Little Bear and Mama Bear are also hiking the trail through north of you. They use their umbrella in areas that they need to go the bathroom where there's not very much coverage. They pop the umbrella open to get more privacy. Thought that was a good idea

    Don't let expectations sow the seeds of disappointment. Take as long as you like for as long as you want. I can't say it got easier, but I have no regrets for only doing the 1860 miles, and there were several times I had my hand on the doorknob.

    Right down the hill on 340 the trail cuts across close to Harpers Ferry, WV, G/L on your journey it is tough and beautiful but you will make it.

    Another great video making it real. Sharing the challenges of having fun amidst the reality of the pain. Thank you. Will be interested to see how the new shoes work for you. I recently bought the Hoka Speedgoat 5. They are super comfortable but I’ve not done a long walk in them yet.

    • @followingtheleading
      @followingtheleading  Před 18 dny

      Appreciate you.. the Hokas are comfortable but mine have already separated on the sides, so we will see how they hold up.

    My morning routine would be severely disrupted without privacy. I found this Pankay privacy tent on Amazon. It would be a good 1.1 pounds for me to carry.

    • @followingtheleading
      @followingtheleading  Před 18 dny

      Yeah it’s very difficult some mornings. We thought about those privacy tents but when you already have to much weight 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching and commenting!

    There is a lost dog on trail, Sadie, she is a black lab with white face, did you get any better pictures? Please contact Ramdino hiking the trail - channel, time stamps would be useful, if you think this may have been the lost dog, Thanks.

      I was hoping someone else posted about lost dog, hopefully she is found.

    • @followingtheleading
      @followingtheleading  Před 19 dny +1

      Actually, this dog was dark brown so probably not the lost dog but I did reach out and I do hope they find their lost pup. That's so sad.

  • @Ramdinohikes
    @Ramdinohikes Před 23 dny

    @Following the Leading Could you please get in touch with me please. I'm working to try and find a missing dog and I had some questions about the one in the video and who was with it. My email is in the description section section of all my videos. I've posted it twice here but you may have your channel set to not accept links. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    • @followingtheleading
      @followingtheleading  Před 19 dny

      Hi there, so sorry for the delay. I'm not sure if the dog belonged to the man or not. It seemed they were together but then again the dog could have wondered up to him. We are unsure. We only passed them briefly. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
