Post Trail PCT - After the Terminus + Beard Growth!!!
After we depart the northern terminus of the Pacific Crest Trail, we hike back 30 miles to Hart's Pass. Along the way we discuss the logistics of finishing at the Canadian border, and how our emotions are holding up immediately after finishing. Eventually we make our way back to Arizona where we are reunited with our dog and Anna's parents. Watch until the end, however, so you can witness the epic beard growth montage. Cheers!

    Soundtracks are great! Star Wars, Lord of the Rings. John Williams' work is among my favorite. I also like electronic music such as Squarepusher, Richard D. James, Autechre, The Orb, Orbital, Luke Vibert, Ceephax Acid Crew, et cetera, et cetera. Classic music: for example; Louis Armstrong, The Carpenters, John Denver, Kenny Rogers, and much more! You won't find these in any store! Why? Because they are old similar to me. 17:07 That guy has a halo!

    Been really enjoying your PCT journey, thanks for sharing. I do have a question about when you were separated though.

    I used this pad all this year from hot weather all the way to 20 degree nights. It is the best. It’s better than the zenbivy pad and the same rating so I’m about to be pairing it with a zenbivy double quilt and ultra light sheet. Also, you can definitely get that packed in the sack smaller than what he has. Fold in half, fold that into thirds then roll.

I've watched a number of PCT hikes, and yours was among the most enjoyable if not the most. You've both got great personalities. One question, though: Justin why didn't you propose to Anna at the end? Cheers!

    PCT hiker vlogs are my "reality TV" of choice. I usually follow a half dozen or so channels each spring, and view episodes when I am working out at home. Therefore, it can take awhile before I see a newly posted video. Watched your last two episodes yesterday, and was so happy to see you and Anna touch the northern terminus. Please accept my belated congratulations. You two and the other PCT'er provide inspiration and incentive for me to continue staying in shape at my Medicare age. Thank you allowing me to follow along with your journey. All the best!
