That is amazing! Thanks for sharing, Maggie!!
I showed it to my daughter and son-in-law, who have 4 kids and take their kids hiking a lot (including the one with special needs in a wheelchair - he has a special chair that is designed for going over rough trails and snow). They have never done a hike of this magnitude, although I'm sure they would love to! :)
If anyone is interested, I found an article that gives a lot more detail about their hike (which is still ongoing, btw). What annoys me is how many people have criticized her for doing this - the article discusses some of that. https://thetrek.co/appalachian-trail/32-feet-up-a-single-mom-and-her-15-kids-hike-the-appalachian-trail/
