Another great day. Beautiful hiking. Gonna be sad when it’s done

Watching you through this journey, I don't know who's more excited sometimes you or me. lol

Almost there best of luck. ✌️👊

Beautiful view! Love how happy you are/were!!!! Keep Smiling! Happy Trails! Safe Travels!

Amazing is a good description! Beautiful day indeed, and you’re doing great am soo happy for you! I’ll be there with you girl😎🥾🏔🌺TX👍🏻moosey

Great job! Happy you had a great day, you seem very focused on that pile of rocks on the horizon, it's been a pleasure following you on this trail.

Very glad to see you happy and so excited. Hike on.

Great views from Whitecap of the final prize. Hope you had a great weather day for the summit. I guess we'll find out soon enough!!!

That was some beautiful views today. Happy hiking 🏔⛺️🥾

Hi Lisa. So close. It must have been strange and exciting to finally see the goal in sight after such an adventure. Almost there!

Lisa I have so enjoyed your hike thru the AT. I'm even more excited to start my hike after today's video, just 5 short months to go. Yeah!. God speed and may all go well for you thru Katadin. Stay safe, almost there.

We hiked the 100 Mile wilderness in 2017, my friend and I joked and said that they just transport all that moose poop on Gulf Hagas, when we saw it all we really thought we would see one, but nope. We didn't even hear one though! Sorry you didn't get to see one either. Can't believe you are so close to the end!

Seeing you catch sight of Mama K brought a tear to my eye again! Guess that will happen daily now until the deluge when you summit! So, so proud of and inspired by you!

Happiest you have been in long time. Keep on truckin Tex almost there.

Awesome Tex!!!! What a view!!!🥾🥾⛺️

So happy you were greeted with such a great view of Katahdin. You have really earned this. 🦋❤

Hi Tex, hopefully you will not stop vlogging aftat AT. You are so fun to watch and i,v e learn a lot from you☺

Following along. You are almost there. Sending good karma from a Virginia lasher!

Fantastic view! Enjoy the next 6 days!

Wicked awesome update!! The excitement and wonder inside you at that moment to see mama K 👍🌲

Awesome first view of Katahdin! So happy and proud for you Tex! Great job!

I am an early morning chevy person myself.😎

Such a great part of the trail. I would want to just stay there… so beautiful and peaceful.😍 Enjoy your last few miles!

First view‼️ Mesmerizing ‼️

You and Wilson looked a bit verklempt on top of Whitecap Mountain. Must have been surreal seeing Mama K in person. Ate a Twix in your honor while watching this, just need to replace it before October 31st. 🤣🤣🤣 Hike on, Tex! You got this!

Twix is my new favorite.

Wow! What an enjoyable video. It is really exciting now! I am really getting a good idea what the 100 Mile Wilderness looks like. So interesting!

Dear Mule Wrangling “Tex” this has been the first time I have commented on one of your vlogs. I found you a bit later in the season after following a couple other thru hikers. Your vlogs are absolutely the best! I love your sense of humor and refreshing approach to each day. I have been now watching your most current posts and going back and catching up from the beginning and I LOVE THEM! I even love the montage of you as a young girl and in the Canyon with the mules. You are a special person and I hate to see your adventures with “Wilson” end. Best of luck to you in all your future adventures and THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this journey!

👋 Getting closer

That was a deer you heard. Mark

What a perfect day.

Fabulous episode! Thanks for taking us along.

It does like Wilson is a bit emotional here in this video and hopes to be included in other trails and/or your next adventure! ;-)

Awesome view. Congratulations you’re probably done by now nice job

Where did you get that hat? I'd like to get one for myself!!

Gonna miss you Tex. Don’t want this to be over but I’m being selfish. Lol I think I’m gonna have to plan a trip to the Grand Canyon. 🤗

Your goal in sight after all this time! So happy for you. That is a beautiful campsite with a stream. I can just imagine being there. The chickadees are adorable. I talk to chickadees too, but haven’t seen one in a long time. Thanks for sharing all these great videos.

Thank you for taking us along on your journey, I've really enjoyed it. Finish strong.

I’m so excited for you!!

🙏🏾

Awesome view of Katahdin! Was a blizzard when I was on Whitecap, 70 mph gusts. my hiking buddy didn't show up for several minutes when I stopped at the first wind shelter big rock and I thought he got blown off the mountain. I though "oh no...how am I going to tell his wife?"

So happy you are really excited and happy! Tex, you are amazing with these videos and the way you narrate them. I hope you will continue having videos after this hike is done. I assume you already reached the end. I only wish I could have known when you were in MA to provide you with some trail magic and see if I could assist in some slack packing for you. Thanks again for this fantastic journey!!

Yay!!! Love seeing you happy and thriving again! Go, Tex, go!

Thank you for your postings! I’ve enjoyed your journey! Would you please go into detail how you made your bottle straw? Happy hiking for your final days!!!

Victory is in sight, so persevere to the finish

1. I heard that moose and I was scared!🦌 2. It has seemed like a long time and once you've finished (on RU-vid) I'm not sure what I'm going to do first thing every morning! 🌄 It does seem like you have been soaking up these last 200 miles. 🤞🦶💜
