You know what, Dixie, this is one of your best videos. Not just the scenery, which is primordially magical, but the way you filmed all this. It was solemn and pristine at the same time, hard to describe, but it made me feel like a walk back in time. You captured it all very well. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing with us that you were having personal issues and questioning whether or not a hike was poor timing or not. I can DEFINITELY vouch for this piece of advice! These past two years of covid have been brutal, with my mom winding up in long term care and so many other horrible things happening along the way. But you are SO RIGHT, I could either be miserable in my bed or miserable in the woods and the woods won. And my god, I it took the edge off. Thank you so much for all you have done for us out here in the hiking community by being so authentic and sharing the good with the bad.

Yes, a really nice hut! “Please DO NOT brush your teeth in here. Just outside.” And the hikers who read that sign are probably like, “Oh. Okay.” Politeness and respect for the house rules; that’s refreshingly reasonable. 👍

There's a KZitem photographer named Nigel Dansen. I'm a photographer so I follow his channel. I thought his photo journal trips to Iceland were about as good as it gets until I saw yours. Not only is your photography/editing great but you add something to the experience that others can't seem to bring. Oh yeah, and those bad times? I think we may need to go through them and come out ok so we can tell others going through them how we did it. Looking forward to the next episode!

Let me preface this post by stating we have lost 3 of our parents in less that a year. There are two sayings that keep going on over and over in my head. 1. You don’t know what the day will bring, but you know Who brings the day. 2. We all have expirations dates and we don’t when it will be. Go on your adventures. Issues may be there when you get back. However returning to the issues with a ton of new experiences is way better then just issues. Aaron continues to be amazing matching the music to the scenery. One step at a time! Keep Hiking!

Totally relate to the waterfalls snob comment. My wife and I drove around Iceland this June. On the first day we stopped at every waterfall that came along, sometimes driving several kilometers down a gravel road and hiking. By the last day, we would barely look out the window of the car for anything less than 100 ft.

I have been privileged to hike nearly all terrains on three continents and to me it is what grounds me during difficult times, as when a health crisis hit me personally this past year. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, out of the blue. No cancer in my family. But in all honesty when they told me that word just over a year ago I simply nodded my head and asked "what do we do.??" I chose to integrate travel and through hikes in my career and I have no regrets. I didn't wait until I was old and my knees gave out. Now that I am wheelchair bound, we're not sure of the outcome. I can honestly say I saw the world! Iceland and New Zealand and Hawaii are some of my favorite places to hike because of the absolute astonishing and in a historical timelines "new" landscapes! _And on a humorous side, aah, com'on Dixie. Was looking forward to your dxie pronunciations of nearly impossible Icelandic trail names!!_ LOL 🤣

Dixie over the summer I got a job as a state park ranger after quitting my office job last year. I absolutely love it, I feel satisfied in a way I never have before, but I'm working my ass off and making way less and have way less vacation time. So even though I spent all day working in a state forest I'm getting out and hiking less. It's a fair trade off but I do miss it. In 2019 your journey on the PCT got me through a year long illness. Now in 2022 you're still helping to scratch my own wanderlust itch on much happier terms. Thank you for doing you and sharing it with us

What a magical trip with majestic trails in such a beautiful, barren, and desolate landscape. It's the trip of a lifetime with scenery we don't come close too in thr states. Don't get me wrong. The US has it's own beauty and charm, but Iceland is like a whole different ball game. Isn't it bizarre that Iceland is so green and beautiful and Greenland is covered in so many layers of ice? Dixie, now that we're further down on the comments. I noticed a lot of solo trips this year and none with Marty. If what I think is happening is actually happening you should know that you are beautiful, smart, interesting, and accomplished. You deserve to live your best life with someone that fits you like a glove and that person will arrive when you least expect it. Probably when you're not even looking or interested in any way. Just keep being you and your partner will be there when it's time for him to be. Just keep the faith that this is true, because he will be. If it's the autoimmune stuff then just keep at that anti-inflammatory diet and keep moving. Cucumber water helps massively with inflammation of all sorts too and it gets absorbed into our systems faster because it's a liquid. We just have to plug away at such things. I'm really happy to hear you didn't postpone your Iceland adventure. I have found in life that during times of great sadness and distress, sometimes it really helps and it's just necessary to pack up and get out of dodge for awhile. Give yourself a break and change your geographical location and spend some time on yourself a little bit. It gives us pause and nature renews our batteries so hopefully we can go home and live our lives. Hopefully nature will heal us up a little bit too. Whatever has happened I have faith in you Dixie and never forget you are an amazing person that is exceedingly kind and sweet 💔❤️🩹. You totally got this and are on an amazing adventure. Enjoy every second of it.
