Out of the gates with a John Denver song. Love it! Wish I could make it out that way to do some trail magic, but I am stuck on the East Coast. I'm sure that the sound of running water will be a much less frequent song in your ears. In Vermont, y'all had too much of that. We have such a great variety of scenery in our beautiful country, and I am looking forward to seeing it through your camera lens. God bless you and watch over your journey. 🙏👍✌ Just showed the video to my wife. Rachel says "Hi".
What a tremendous first day on trail, Gazelle!! Your joy, preparedness, and energy are super inspirational. I love the video style you've been using - great quality videography, a bit of narration, perfect music to highlight the mood... Best of luck to you and so happy you're taking us along. Can't wait for the next episode.
Busting out a 20 on the first PCT day. Fantastic!!! Your trail name(Gazelle) is indicative of your hiking ability. Plus, I think you realize from the first day that this is the kind of daily mileage needed to complete the PCT in a reasonable amount of time. Can't wait for the future videos.
What a refreshing video! Your footage covered the beauty of the trail, other hikers and your upbeat personality! Awesome accomplishment to cover that stretch on day one! Houser Canyon climb out is no joke in the afternoon sun. Looking forward to more videos…safe and happy trails.
Spectacular awesome beautiful outstanding 1st day vlogging, hiking and scenery, looking forward to following your progress wishing I had more free time as you do, all the very best.
I've watched many people hike the AT but, this is the first time watching someone hike the PCT. Gonna follow you till the end. Have a fantastic journey !
Californian here. Followed your AT journey. When I found out you were doing a PCT attempt this year I was thrilled. I cannot wait to see your vlogs on this journey. Best of luck!
Enjoy watching these videos of the start of PCT. Started my hike back in 95. I was miserable till I got to Mt Laguna. Hot, sweaty and hated the flies. Did not notice the scenery at all. But it is a beautiful part of trail
you are such an inspiration to me. I am SO happy to see you back on the trail. You are a strong beautiful woman and I love seeing your perspective and journey. Thank you!
Congratulations on day one! I will follow you all the way. Your beauty and the positive words you share, along with such epic natural scenery is beautiful. Stay safe out there, sending you light and love each step of the way. ☮️❤️🙏❤️☮️💐
So fun to see the trail through so many people. Don't forget to keep vlogging once you get to Oregon. I feel like Oregon gets forgotten😁. Hopefully I will run into you on trail. I am LASHing Or/Wa later this summer.
I didn't realize you were hiking the PCT this year! I watched your AT thru hike last year. 20 miles the first day is badass! Not sure what you have been doing before you started but be careful not to overdo it. Best of luck and I look forward to watching your journey!
Congratulations on the big start day. Love hearing that John Denver tune BTW..... He has a song called Follow Me that is just beautiful. Hey, take care of that skin of yours in the sun kiddo. Thanks for taking us along!! Have a great week.
Congratulations on starting another journey. I'm sure it will be an adventure for those of use not able to do the PCT to be watching you. We'll see it through your eye. I love following you on the AT. Thank you for posting for us all. Stay safe and God speed
I am so excited for you!! Thanks for letting me tag along. Wish I was there with you. Anyone who starts out with John Denver out of the gate is going to draw me in. Have fun, enjoy, and be safe.
I watched your complete AT adventures along with a hundred others but only followed about 2 PCT. I look forward to your new adventure. Good luck and have Fun!
Amazing first day, I can see this is going to be an epic hike. I saw you talking to Dog Foot. I'm following him, and he is currently just before San Jucinto, so you will be miles ahead of him if you are maintaining a 20-mile day. I think you must be at least at mile 200 by now. I hope all is going well and can't wait to see regular vlogs on this epic journey. You are going to breeze this!!!
Oh wow !!!!!!! Haven't been keeping up with some of my AT favorite hikers from last year , glad this video popped up , SO EXCITED FOR YOU !!! ONWARD , will be watching
Nice job with your 1st day! Not only doing the miles but great videoing as well. It’s nice to see you including your fellow hikers!! Looking forward to following your adventure! I’m doing the PCT starting in May of this year! Can you say HOT!! 😱 Keep on, keeping on!!
Awesome video! Wait until you get to the heart of the Seirra... you won't be able to take it all in. Its a real eye opener coming from the East Coast. The terrain makes you feel like you are on another planet. In particular around the major passes. I hope you are planning to do mount whitney... highly recommend.
Congrats on starting the PCT!!!!!! I have enjoyed your videos from the failed COVID year to your successful AT completion! I have to say the production quality of your video is remarkably improved - I LOVE the music playing while showing trail scenes - reminiscent of Quicksand's videos! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK and I will be with you every day in spirit and will look forward to the videos!!!!!
Great start. I followed you and Johnathan on the A T 2021. Enjoyed it. Looking forward to your 2022 adventure. I'm hiking the JMT in late July. It would be cool to share some trail with you. Good luck.
living the dream there … nice!! … careful doing big miles early though … starting this time of year you have plenty of time to finish even starting your hike gently …. good luck with your PCT journey we’ll all be following along 👍👍
Looked like a great start. Hopefully no foot, knee, or hip pain. Did you get your tent dried out? More singing please. Please be careful. Stay well and be safe.
Nice seeing you on the PCT gazelle! Enjoy the southern California chaparral. It's the greenest it will be for the rest of the year. Watch out for the sun though. Siestas are done for a reason in hot climates. I know you're at least as far as Mt. San Jacinto. Enjoy the hike. You have time to kill before the Sierra Nevada.
Hi there! Love your channel! I was wondering what brand is your green hoodie sweatshirt? Looks really comfy and warm and perfect as a layer when hiking.
Your smile could not be any larger. The quality of this video (does Jonathan get the credit for editing?) is fabulous. Being married to a fair skinned “Ginger” myself, I know how challenging it will be for you To endure that desert sun. Be free and enjoy the journey
@@TheBlazinBakers ok now you are just showing off!! LOL. The fact that you Can have the energy to do that when I know you are pulling 20 plus mile days is amazing.
Sarah, I’m looking forward to following your journey on the PCT. You are inspirational with your attitude and energy. Love the scenery. Not what I was expecting to see that far South. I know that you have probably answered this before, but, who makes the green hoodie that you wear hiking? It’s a perfect green color and looks super soft. Safe travels. Kimberly, PNW
This is great! Excited to follow the journey. I’m a fellow fair-skinned redhead that has a question about pants/leggings...do you like wearing them so far? I’m hoping to hike the pct in 2023 and am vacillating between pants and shorts. But also trying to cut sunscreen weight 😂.
Hope you are able to enjoy all those views all the way to Canada. Remember even the valleys still have a purpose and are beautiful if you look hard enough. Blaze on Gazelle!
Congrats on hitting your 1st day goal I know you can do this find you some hicking friends and you all can keep each other motivated and I know your TH-cam family and friends will cheer you on in your videos
Oh ok yu started in Mexico maybe yu run into daisy on trail and BTW yu have a amazing voice I was hoping that hawk a QuickSand do pct to but hawk hasn't hiked at all and QuickSand working at rv Park in utah and christine
I smiled when I seen this video pop up. I watched your AT hike ..You have cash app? I’d like to support you a little. Good luck!! Wonder if those in the video know how fast you gonna be gone. Lol
We get to watch a future triple crowner in the process of living her dream. What an inspiration you are!🙌
Your singing is so beautiful hope to hear more of that voice on your channel. So beautiful tanks for sharing

Amazing and beautiful PCT day ! Keep it coming! You are awesome! 🤗
We’re glad to be able to follow your trek again this year. We’re pulling for you.
Wow, it's great to see you back on the trail!!! We missed your adventures
Awesome, I am impressed from your serious injury on the AT to back at it. Have a great hike.
Good to see you back on trail again. Killing as always. Thanks for sharing.
So happy for you Sarah!!! I’ll be happy to make another banner board for your upcoming achievements😘 Go girl! Always take extra care!
Great video love seeing more than just the trail and what a first day.
Congratulations on the big start day. Love hearing that John Denver tune BTW..... He has a song called Follow Me that is just beautiful. Hey, take care of that skin of yours in the sun kiddo. Thanks for taking us along!! Have a great week.

Whoop whoop, never a disappointment! Fantastic cinematography! Love love !! 20 miles !! Wow ! Gazelle is right . Congratulations!
Really enjoyed the vibe!! Safe and happy trails
You sing very well...John Denver would enjoy seeing you live out his song.

Hi Sarah 👋 thank you, wish you a safe, healthy journey, take care 🙏✌️
Great start! I’m thinking I might need an umbrella for the desert section. The sun is beautiful and threatening at the same time.

Hey! I see you met Dog Foot! Nice. Impressive first day. Ima gonna bet you get to Canada. Best of luck.
So excited to watch your videos! Get after it, Sister! I already KNOW you'll make it to Canada! AND you met DogFoot first day in. Sweet!
Is this from this year? This month? I like it. Thanks.
Looked like a great start. Hopefully no foot, knee, or hip pain. Did you get your tent dried out? More singing please. Please be careful. Stay well and be safe.
Love the hat and sun glasses. Johnathan must have picked them out for you. LOL he’s such a sweetheart!
She dressed herself this time 🥴~Jonathan
@@TheBlazinBakers, how’s it gone Jonathan?

Hi there! Love your channel! I was wondering what brand is your green hoodie sweatshirt? Looks really comfy and warm and perfect as a layer when hiking.
@Beverly Holerbach thank you! It’s a Melanzana Microgrid Fleece hoodie. A great fleece layer🫶🏻it!
R U anywhere near Rocket and Long John? Their first vlog came out the same day as yours.
Your smile could not be any larger. The quality of this video (does Jonathan get the credit for editing?) is fabulous. Being married to a fair skinned “Ginger” myself, I know how challenging it will be for you
To endure that desert sun. Be free and enjoy the journey
@Bill and Sheila Hike I actually am doing the editing. Jonathan helps me polish a few things 😃🙌🏻
@@TheBlazinBakers ok now you are just showing off!! LOL. The fact that you
Can have the energy to do that when I know you are pulling 20 plus mile days is amazing.
Proud of you!!! Going for the triple crown I take it??? Stay safe, stay hydrated.
Truly awesome. We are so excited for you. Let us know when you hit Lake Tahoe and you will have a place to stay in our beautiful gold mining town.
Did you get to dry out your gear? By the looks of it there was not much sun left when you arrived.
BTW: Dogfoot also vlogs on YT.
Following Dogfoot too.
@Marc Jacobi it did dry out🙌🏻 I laid the tent out while I was eating dinner😉
Good luck, it's not the AT, not a lots of big tall trees, good video, so let's keep on hiking

What do you think about going from the great views on the AT to the majestic views on the PCT?
@Bill Watson they are very different trails each unique and beautiful. It sure is a lot easier to get to towns on the AT though😂🙌🏻
Great first day!!
Love the sun glasses
Awesome first day. Lot more wide open than the AT. Enjoy !
What day did you actually start? I don't recall you mentioning it
She didn’t, for security reasons give a date. ~Jonathan
@@TheBlazinBakers
Makes sense. Didn't think of that. Sorry about that
Campo to Lake Morena direct. You blazed and didn't seem to be bothered by the high desert terrain or water carry. Keep on.
My favorite place is in the mountains. It's the only place I'm truly happy
20 miles is serious before dark on the first day. I've done it twice but not with that much daylight left. :o)
Awesome first day, Gazelle. Hope you are wearing sunscreen! Jonathan, you've set a pretty high bar for editing and sound track! Nice job.
@M Morgida I actually edited this -Gazelle😊
I can't wait for part 2 through 100 😀😀

OMG so exciting!!!!
