thank you for taking me on your journey. I drove thru Tehachipi a couple months back and wondered where the PCT was. Now, i think I could find it. Day hiker here. Thank you for the inspiration.
Oooooh!! That was so funny at the end with Pesky!! Very imaginative and, uh, technical(?), for a hiking video! (I don't know how to do special effects.) So funny!!
What a joy to wake up on my birthday and find your video waiting for me to enjoy with my morning coffee! I was sitting here with my “town face” on, enjoying every moment. Thanks Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Ah there is so much great food in Tehachapi. I was nobo on the PCT in 2017 and camped at the Airport park for just $5 a night. They even had brought in a portable shower there for us hikers. Next good restaurant food in Agua Dulce!
Hello Ladies, I just found your channel and after watching about four of your PCT trail videos I see that your videos stand out from the other PCT videos. You show more of the trail and I can see the many beautiful areas. Thanks for sharing your travels😉
Hey ladies! Cas and Jen, the ladies who shuttled you from Devil's Postpile to Mammoth and had beers at the Brewery. I want you to know we've been watching your videos and following your journey. It's just about all we watch in the evening. So peaceful, good info, and we just enjoy you all...you were so much fun when we met. Hope the rest of the journey goes smooth. Jen says come visit at Gulf Islands National Seashore!!!
Hi, thank you so much and thanks for helping us. We have about another month on trail. Tell Jen we will find her down there sometime. We loved it there.
You are all so awesome, been loving watching for the last year+ . Can't get over some of your water sources! Good thing for filtration and water treatment :) Your wearing out your equipment, hoping you don't have too much more to go! Stay safe and happy trails from BC
Once again I just missed you Super!Wanders Again! last year at Chiricahua/Portal/ Ft. Bowie, last week at Walker Pass where I was on a hotspring corp of discovery. I panned thru the Walker Pass log looking for familiar names from TH-cam Sobo's but did not see Wander Women names , perhaps after awhile you skip the logs as you are thru hiking.. Again you are world class athletes, Say hi to John at Hiker Town. Your fan , Rich " Wood-Man" PCT class of 88..
I did this section last year 2020, during Covid-19 in April. There was water at McIver Spring then. I see on Guthook, now renamed FarOut, no water now. I know how good it feels coming down that mountainside to Highway 58. Hooray for you making it through.
Sorry about the zipper. That happened to my daughter too. I had to send her extra tent to her. That wind is so forceful. The desert is so beautiful in the fall too. Your videos are the first time I have seen the desert in the fall. The color and the sun shining on the mountains are amazing. You ladies are doing a great job of hiking. Blessings and safe hiking.
You were all in my neighborhood & I missed you! I was out off trail testing gear, so true, there were some 🥶 cold nights. Wish I knew about the tent issue, I could have loaned you one of mine to get you through. Safe travels.
You all are amazing! I so look forward to watching your adventures. The town dance is getting better after the PCT you might consider a gig on Dancing with the Stars. Pesky is living her best life too. LOL Wander Women! WaHOO!!!
Welcome to the windy desert. I laughed at the mention of the weight of the water carry because I always say I'd rather carry a bear canister than the weight of all that water. Welcome to the high desert and the mountains of SoCal.
I love the way the scenery has changed again, all beautiful. Mary is encouraging for people who want to get out and try backpacking. I guess you just have to do it. Of course you would have to be in shape, then why not do it? The sun looks nice during the day so we don't realize how cold it is. You just keep going. Loved the Pesky skit. You'll probably have to get a lot of new equipment before your next great adventure. Can't wait to see what that will be. Enjoy the weekend. Take care, be safe.
Hey Guys...if you have aleatherman or something with a plyer ..just light squeeze the top of the zipper pull a little...they are not working because the glider has opened up and it is not catching the coil teeth of the zipper...hope this helps..I have fixed many a zipper with this problem...love watching
What's the Name of the Song which starts at 29:43 with all the Days of the Week. I just love hearing it in your Videos. Also I love watching you Ladies. You are a big inspiration.
You are all such an inspiration to so many! Ya’ll crack me up. I just adore that each of you are so authentically yourselves. I can’t wait until I have enough time off work to compete even one of the thru hikes, but until then, I’ll continue to do my weekends and week trips and take notes from you!
When the NoBo hikers were doing that stretch it was super windy. So some skipped so they could walk in lighter winds and heading south so not lose miles. That is a really dry section. Very heavy packs. It’s been cold overnight lately. Nor Cal is getting hit hard with a bad atmospheric River that will dump snow. Be glad you skipped south. Soon toy will be out of the elevation for a bit as you do the hardest desert section to me, the bit of the Mojave that follows the LA aqueduct. Super windy and no cover. Lots of wind snd solar energy there. Hope the tent can get repaired. Tehachapi should have cell service so you can find a place to get the faithful old hubba hub a fixed or replaced. Often the manufacturer will do the repair for free and provide a loaner. Same with the packs. Hope you can find ways to get your gear repaired and replaced. Shirts don’t come with a lifetime warranty but most good gear does
Your latest section made me think of a song that Linda Ronstadt made her own: “I’ve been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonopah” I hope I get to go to at least half the places that you have been. The Wander Women have see it all. “I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow, I’m drunk & dirty, don’t you know But I’m still willin’” Nothing gets in the way of the Wander Women!!! Dan
OK, I nearly cried when I saw the rear windshield all decked out for you all. Good stuff. Loved walking toward the rainbow with you all, too. I just imagined myself right there. Love those trail moments. Sounds like you’re getting the whole gamut of weather out there. Stay safe, as always, and beware the Pesky! 😵💫
So appreciate you ladies! It's such an inspiration for a newbie like me to watch/listen to ya'll ! I love how you edit your vidio, and i especially love the details. Like actually showing the trailhead! And real conditions. I have a stupid fear of heights, so narrow trails along shear drops are tough for me, but it actually looks like there is not too much of that. So maybe its a possibility for me.! You guys rock!!!
Some mornings are just a bear but usually getting up and hitting the trail fast makes things better. Love the late fall video's, hopefully you will get a little warmer weather and make it to Campo.
At 16:50 into the video look at the heart shaped cloud floating past the wind turbine. As always I love being on your adventures with you all. Stay safe and God bless.
Always great to have a new episode of Wander Women. Hey guys, sorry you have a MSR zipper fail. Since you featured that early in todays show. Would you do a gear update? I noticed you haven’t gone off the deep end with Zpack, Hyperlite, ULA etc. and yet you would be their target market. Please share with us what your using and the reason for the selection. You guys are the perfect test bed. Thanks for sharing.
Climbing up those 3000 ft mountains in the desert with limited water, 20 degrees, and then sitting among the cow patties with failing equipment... You truly are women of grit ! So great Mary was able to jump right in and join you! Your experience, encouragement, confidence, humor, endurance, and strength create avenues for new backpackers to join in with the authentic cadence of through hiking. My spirit joins you each time I see where you are and anticipate where you are going. I was laughing so hard at the Pesky segment…. Need to add creativity to the list of above examples ! Warm hugs 🤗 from your Oregon Buddy !
Yeah the Wonder Women are still motoring! How you holding up in the cold? Always look forward to your videos ! I was wondering where Pesky had sneaked off to? 🤔 Look after yourselves keep em coming 🥰
So nice to see other gals join you on the trail from time to time! What an awesome experience from some very welcoming ladies! Would love to do that too!
I guess it's time to replace some clothes and equipment. Backpacking is not easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it. I commend all you ladies every time I watch one of your videos. Kudo's to all of you!!! John from MI P.S. Pesky is Pesty...
@@demelar Thank you! Do you have a referral aggreement with them yet? You might ask. I wouldn't have heard of them without you! Blessings to all of you for safe travels.
worn and torn equipment is a sign of a life thoroughly LIVED.... I am going to be camping/hiking at Laguna (just outside of Julian) this week - Tuesday - Thursday. Might still be too far down to meet up with you but hit me up if so. Will send you my contact info for when you get into Sections C-A for sure. Be safe out there and, as always, thanks for taking us along and being such inspiring WaWosian examples for us!
Hi Ladies! Been following your journey - you are so inspiring!! You are heading down to our neck of the woods and we would love to be trail angels if you need a ride, water, food of course! We can help anywhere from I-10 south to the border. Also, when we hike out of Idyllwild we end the day with a meal at the brewpub. Would love to treat you to a meal there if that was of interest and in your schedule. Let me know if we (my husband Brian and I) can help! If we do not meet up, know you have cheerleaders out here watching and cheering you on as you get closer the finishing the PCT!! Whoop Whoop!! (My husband is messaging you on Insta in case that's better communication lol)
As long as we can learn from our senior moments (freezing water bottles, freezing cloths, and water filters) in life, have a good laugh at ourselves, we are doing good.
The clothes / equipment are falling apart. The bodies are holding up. Love you women!
I lways have a smile on my face as I wach your videos!! Thanks so much!!
How cool to see mountain lion tracks 😳 Not cool about broken zippers. Fun to watch Mary along with you all. The ending made me 😂 laugh
I'm always happy to see a new video from the Wander Women.
I have a town face on after watching that one! And rainbow over the desert, Wow! Goat
thank you for taking me on your journey. I drove thru Tehachipi a couple months back and wondered where the PCT was. Now, i think I could find it. Day hiker here. Thank you for the inspiration.
So enjoy following all your journeys! You all are so inspiring to women of all ages!!
Thank you.
thanks again for excellent video, yours is the best video for showing the trail and surrounding area, look forward to seeing the rest!
Mary could not learn from anyone better. You all are killing it. Views are beautiful!!
Hotel antics, too cute! Love you ladies!!
Thank you for allowing me to tag along! The mention brought a tear to my eye! Tie dye!
Beautiful video ladies stay safe wears valley TN watching
Love your enthusiasm! You Wander Women truly ROCK!!!
Coming this way soon! Thanks for sharing the trail! And all the good and bad that goes with a long hike! You are tough ladies
Oooooh!! That was so funny at the end with Pesky!! Very imaginative and, uh, technical(?), for a hiking video! (I don't know how to do special effects.) So funny!!

Best Halloween special ever!!
That shot of the rainbow took my breath.
Fingers crossed that all your equipment and clothes hold up.
Hard, hard section. Gear issues. You ladies are doing amazing. You are an inspiration. Keep trekking.
Some of the most beautiful scenery! Different light and colors this time of year!

Gosh, sorry we missed you. We have signed most of the registers, not sure how we missed that one.
Lol too funny I have been enjoying your videos
👏👏👏 Mary congrats on living your best life and listening to your inner awesome👍
Your smiles are contagious! Love the Halloween special too. Lol. Happy trails, thanks for sharing!!
Another great & fun episode! I'm getting more excited for you as you get closer to your goal.
you all have the best family and friends!! Loved the golden bushes at the beginning. Beautiful video!

You are almost in my neck of the woods. I was just in idyllwild and it was beautiful. Hope it’s as warm and beautiful once you get that far
Really enjoy your videos - you are so much fun and your teaching and encouraging us how to enjoy life!
Wow, your Halloween skit was so cool. Yep so scary that darn Pesky. Hehe.
You all are hilarious! That Pesky is something else!🤣
Sorry about the zipper. That happened to my daughter too. I had to send her extra tent to her. That wind is so forceful. The desert is so beautiful in the fall too. Your videos are the first time I have seen the desert in the fall. The color and the sun shining on the mountains are amazing. You ladies are doing a great job of hiking. Blessings and safe hiking.

Nice to see you making the miles. Once you make the dash across the Mojave, then you're in the desert.
Love your adventures! Wish I was there!
Beautiful desert, LOL at Pesky Halloween special!
Love you guys ,you make my day. Your so much fun to watch,it was nice to seePesky up to her old tricks.

OMG I almost missed the whole Pesky thing. How do you girls think up these hilarious scenarios?I don't know but keep it up it so funny!
Always look forward to your new videos. Have you ladies ever considered climbing some Washington and Oregon volcanoes?
Would love to.

They do have ULA packs, I think the Circuits, but I think of ULA as the posh light-weight packs. I have a Catalyst.
I think all three are using ULA packs.
We all have the ULA Circuit
@@wanderwomenkristyannette5021 and these are the ones with the buckles and straps breaking/wearing out?
Yes, but we have thousands and thousands of miles on them. They have held up well.
Spreading the Love !! :)
FYI there is a very good little outfitter in Idylwild. Also thrift stores. If’n your tent and/or clothes don’t stay together. You all are rocking it!
Bad storm coming get off trail starting on 24th!
Climbing up those 3000 ft mountains in the desert with limited water, 20 degrees, and then sitting among the cow patties with failing equipment... You truly are women of grit !

So glad I watched to the very end! 🤣
What road was that where the spring was? ....
Is Lynn still using the loaner tent or did she get hers back yet? Was wondering how the repair went.
Yeah the Wonder Women are still motoring! How you holding up in the cold? Always look forward to your videos ! I was wondering where Pesky had sneaked off to? 🤔
Look after yourselves keep em coming 🥰

Yay for Mary for doing so well. Almost there ladies
Great section hike. Hilarious Pesky prank skit!
Just wondering if the silicone inserts to keep your toes aligned have helped? Are you each still using them?
Every step of the way, the CorrectToes are still working for me.
@@demelar Thank you! Do you have a referral aggreement with them yet? You might ask. I wouldn't have heard of them without you! Blessings to all of you for safe travels.
Pretty significant rain is moving into the area Sunday. Monday is supposed to rain all day! Are you going to lay over a few extra days to wait it out?
No we're hiking through it. But should be at a hostel Monday night!
