Dixie gets back on the trail and works to catch up with the fam. Florida: OMG, you girls know how to edit! I'm not done balling my eyes out over the loss of your dog and now this video starts and you absolutely cracked me up! Thanks for sharing and I am so sorry for your loss. I want to hike the AT but and so scared to leave my dog at home if you see my videos you'll see she is always with me on my adventures and I just don't know how I'd do it without her, contrary, I don't know how a cocker spaniel could walk the AT. her legs are too short: -)

Gee, one minute you're hiking treacherous rocky mountains, the next socializing with fellow a large group of hikers. - I'm finding I need to pull out my maps ( or search maps) to see the geography of your location. And it's hard to find maps that show elevation. I hope the opening shot situation worked out ok (and I think we all need an bathroom emergency plan for getting stuck in a bad Interstate standstill, don't you) You probably have a too many posts to read them all.

Great update Dixie! I love the view of the bridge when you climbed the rock wall, beautiful. I love the history of Allentown, PA and some of their covered bridges as well. You're fearless to be scaling rock walls and video recording at the same time. btw, impressive that the guitarist has made it that far with instrument still intact. Be safe. I bet you get to see the stars clearly at night. Glimpsed the Milky Way yet: )

Dixie, I know you're through with the AT, but now that you're on the PC, you should considering doing leg drains every night. You literally prop your feet straight up in the air so your blood drains down and new blood circles through. My brother is a distance runner and distance running coach and he swears by it after log runs

I mention to everyone that hikes the AT in PA. That's the worst place they could have routed the trail through Rocksylvania. Just a few hours west of there those talus fields disappear. The eastern slope is horrible.
And that kind of trail navigation is called scrambling by the trail running community.

Those vertical rock crop scampers in PA are no joke! I was feelin' the tone in your voice. PA prepares you for the lava fields here in my state along the PCT. So impressed with how you navigate thru adversity and roll with the punches. Master Jedi Dixie. You're quite the trooper Ms. Jessica!

when I was a child 30 years ago that superfund site near palmerton did not even have a blade of grass on it. about ten years ago there was a couple hundred acre fire on that section of trail and the growth then was sparse. I'm really enjoying your blog. thank you!

After hiking over 1000 miles, I think I would not very attentive to the veteran thru hiker. I guess I just have a bad attitude but I figure if I do not know by now, what he tells will not help. The only way I can learn more is by experience. so onward.

Thank you to you and your editor for sharing your AT experience. You've honestly inspired and given me that final push to go out there and actually do something REAL WITH MY LIFE in the near future. All the best for your Pacific Crest Through Hike.

Thanks for putting us right down on the rocky, rocky trail, Dixie. Are you using your poles or on hands and feet? Do a pro & con on poles, how much you used them, how much they got in the way, how many hikers lost, broke, or quit on poles?
