Day 159 | Crossing the Kennebec River, Moxie Bald & Perfect Fall Day in ME | Appalachian Trail 2021 

After watching this footage, now I know why so many New England hikers section just the NH and Maine parts of the trail later in the season (NoBo or SoBo), so beautiful, cooler weather and no bugs. Thank you!

First! Got engaged on the trail and waterfall right at 2:00. Camped right on the trail. Didn't get in anyone's way. Been watching this chan for months for Kelly to get to this very spot.

The forest sounds! 😧 WOW! Very cool! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!!

Lake Loon calls at the end. The most awesom nature sound anyone could ever hear.

What an awesome day walking through magical forests, vibrant foliage complete with a mesmerizing sunset and loon calls to fall asleep to. That's the magic of Maine!

I am glad to see everyone back together again. Thanks for sharing this.🏔⛺️🥾♥️♥️

Hey Kelly! Thank you for the 4k ❤️ It makes those amazing visuals look that much better! Pro tip: if you have an option to turn down the bit rate, 50Mbit is more than enough. This one was nearly 83Mbit! Glad you made your ferry! I have rafted the Kennebec many times and that warning about rising water is no joke. A 5000cfs release is awesome to raft (the 8000 is even better) but I wouldn’t want to canoe across it! I can’t imagine how loud that metal shelter roof is during a storm! I bet your grandpa is smiling knowing you are enjoying that view, it was a great one! Thanks for the silence at the lake. You and Toasty know how to enjoy those moments. I’m glad you got to see the sunset. I firmly believe that Maine has some of the best sunsets in the country. That lake you were looking done on was Moxie pond, which is where that rafting outfit I told you about was. You have to go there when you come back up! What a perfect day. I’m not jealous very often but this one made me feel it, and that is ok in my book! 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well. -Grateful

That might be the most beautiful day ever! How wonderful the loons sung you to sleep!

Beautiful sights! I really have been enjoying these last few videos. So close! Loved those night sounds‼️

One of your best days of communicating, flat trail, o stress very conversational and memorable, we appreciate sharing your days and happenings. AND the loons, stellar👍🏼

Love the focus at the end with the night sounds!❤️❤️❤️❤️Beautiful fall colors too!🍁🍁🍁

Something about crossing the Kennebec River by canoe that seems symbolic of the final drive, no going back. Had to laugh at the idea of reaching the river and yelling "Cheryl"! that's adventure. That name echos other boat crossing in classical mythology. Anyway, there are advantages to being a slobo if the weather holds out, the rhododendrons flowering in the south, and these fantastically beautiful fall colors in Maine. Great day, everyone rested, cheerful, blue skies and the trail rising to meet you.

I love the sound of Loons. They have a cool, spooky sound to their call.

What a great hike video and the finale of the night sounds…Beautiful!

Well, first off this is the first time I've watched your channel on my lap top as opposed to my cellphone...what stunning shots , just amazing ... The foliage really popped...so glad you had such great weather ....been a warm fall here in the North East ...happy trails ... It's just so Maine that you yell across the river to catch your ride ...

Those nighttime forest sounds - woah!!

Beautiful video ! - I remember when the weather was this awesome in early October. Thanks as always for sharing.

I sleep to these sounds all the time… loved this video and the ending…. Sure enough though you missed Northern Outdoors… just half mile north of Sterling … also there was a full fledged supermarket had you gone south to Bingham… oh well, Even Dixie has to envy you on this one

killin it ..draggin' it home

What a beautiful day on trail and to have an awesome sunset and all the night animal sounds is sleep to. Wonderful

I so cant wait to get to Maine!!!! The Lost Sloth✌🏻 Thanx KH Those sounds❤️i miss❤️

Great video! Loved the night sounds!

Love the sunset and the audio at the end was amazing !!!!

Fall colors, the lake, and the view from the top were awesome. The Loon has a haunting night call. Hope you are doing fine.

Thank you so much for that video. I grew up not far from there and the end with the night sounds brought back such memories.

I am so glad that you are filming this. I film all the areas I hike in and am so happy I have. We had a huge forest fire that destroy all the area. Now I have the footage to look back at to reminder the beauty.

Beautiful fall colours on a wonderful misty morning! Being young again, these are the things I would have done. Glad to see others now out and enjoying the great outdoors! Bruce and Otis

Such a gorgous lake! Especially with the late afternoon sun.

Maine is spectacular.

16:42 More beautiful views. (They keep appearing - So nice). 😊

That is a lot of loons! Y'all are so lucky... the weather... the wildlife... the lack of crowds.

Ya, you definitely need to come back in the spring for some WHITEWATER on the Kennebec. Some of the best memories of my life!! Quintessential Maine, Loons are the best sound on the planet!!!

After enjoying this video I am excited about section hiking it in 2022 with one, maybe two of my granddaughters. They will love the canoe ride! Stay safe. Stay well.

It sounds like to loons put together a nighttime musical masterpiece for you. Such an incredible sound

You look so relax and at peace in that canoe (going across the River)

That sun set was Soo awesome

I would ear plugs for sure! Love you videos! Merry Christmas from one Hays to another Hays!

Guess Toasty found his phone. This time. 😁 Merry Christmas guys.

Loons!

1:15 Could you imagine if Cheryl was a Stella or Adrian. Yooo Adrian Or Stella Stella Stella. ( On The Waterfront)

Man that sound at night sounds like a wolf or is it something else

Hi, is this really the final strech? Or do you have to do the part you skipt after this? Greetings from The Netherlands. By the way; you have my respect!

nice.... try to hike in indonesia. come to indonesia

I don't understand how if you were still here in October, you made it to katahdin before it closed 🤔 I'm glad you made it, but I thought they closed first week of October 😬

Awesome!=8)

Great day!

Hey kelly, i follow handstand then rocket,dixie and now you,i hope i can find some one new to follow on the appalachian trail its going to be hard.cheers

Thanks for all the beautiful Vistas again! I'm curious Kelly and I hope you don't mind me asking. And I'm not saying you look like it. So please don't think that. But being a dietitian I know you normally eat really healthy. So I'm curious did you gain weight on the trail eating all the junk? Thanks in advance.. wow it sounds like wolves and owls maybe some coyotes it was freaky

Beautiful....

Cue the loons

Was thinking about how you almost didn’t get a chance to come back to the trail bc of your illness at the beginning. So glad you trusted Him ☝️ and gave us a great trail experience to follow. You hiked your hike and that’s always fun to watch. Have a great Christmas!

Love those loons

Hey Kelly....its your 'Pedicure' donator....Still tryn to find out What size Hoodie you wore for your Thru-Hike from App Gear?? I want to give one to a lady friend and she is 5'9"....Yours seem to be long and came down to your knees almost? How tall are you and What size to you recommend? Patiently waiting =)

Kelly what was the date of this day? If you started April 10th and this is day 159 that would make it Sept 16th… but that can’t be right…. I assume your hospital stay is why it’s off….

He would loose is arse if it wasn’t tied to him.
