      Go check out their music! The first song is my buddy Keanan that I met on the PCT, amazing stuff, his music has been in every video so far! And the last song is by Ryan, the owner of Senchi Designs! Info is in the description, their music kicks ass

    The second one, and the one you brushed against, is Poison Oak. The clue is the leaf shape, red leaves in the fall, and shinny leaves. The bare stalks, usually in the fall, are poisonous too. Welcome to California. We have Poodle Dog Bush too.

    Loving the series, I've got my permit and am planning my 2021 Southbound as we speak. I'm leaving at the end of July, since I'm finishing up some classes over the summer, and will find myself in a race to make it thru the Sierra before the big snow comes. It would be super helpful for me, personally, if you posted or mentioned some dates to coincide with the videos. Obviously conditions will vary year to year, but with so few sobo youtubers, your series is the best one I've seen - by far. I have a feeling many future sobo hikers will use this as a resource, and that information would be super useful for many.
    Keep it up!

    • @MeowHikes
      @MeowHikes  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not a bad idea, I can probably post in the description box what dates I hit what miles to help people understand the pacing a bit better. I’ll update it asap

    Dude you have the best perspective on these hikes. I told you before that your AT videos were real unique and your personality really comes through like no one else. Keep it up. Your channel is taking off. Sorry again for giving you crap about your Cooking video before. I learned a lot about cyber bullying and it’s just so easy to forget that there are real people just trying to live their lives on the other side of the screen. Anyway, if you are ever rolling through Northern California, I’m in Sacramento and have a guest bedroom for you and whoever to crash.
