    The best thing about being in the wild we was is not only the nature itself, but the appreciation for civilisation later on!

    Those cool reddish trees and snags from Crabtree to Onion valley trailhead are Foxtail Pines and grow nowhere else in the world! I love that area. Happy trails!

    What a great section, and a surprise birthday cake. I did that summit in September, no snow thank God. I had resupply in the bear box at onion valley camp. Did not hitch to town.
    Love your videos.

      Sounds good if you want to stay on trail. Did you stock the bear box yourself before you started your trip? How long was it in the box before you picked it up?

    I am so looking forward to doing Forester Pass next year. Is your tent freestanding? Mine is not and a little worried about pitching it the snow and staying up. Also hoping the snow won’t be too bad which we don’t have to buy an ice axe and micro spikes.

    Hiker dreams of a van for all, with pizza. The excitement of a laundromat. I love it! The natural beauty of the Sierra outweighs the discomfort and fear you have to face in a high snow year, but those challenges must seem daunting during a cold, sleepless night. The strength and positivity of you thru hikers is inspiring. Loving those videos.

    2017 - 2019 was probably the Best Time to do the PCT. The trail will heal during COVID, old closures will re-open, new trail angels will pick up the support and more trekkers will attempt the finish. Mari, your videos are inspiring. Get old slow and travel far.
