    Hope you all enjoy this week's video. For those of you who have asked what happened to Joey's channel...he has removed it for now. You can find him over on Patreon where he is posting regularly and I believe it is open for public viewing. Here is the link: www.patreon.com/user?u=29913168

    Great video Cat! Just goes to show ya... when a situation hands you lemons, make lemonade! In life, it is easy to get bummed and negative minded when things don't go the way you had envisioned them in your head. Learning to take things as they come, and just going with the flow often leads to unexpected (positive) outcomes. It's also hard to get depressed when you're with Nature, no matter how many Lemons she hands you.

    I love all of your backpacking adventures, especially those with Joey. He is a person I would have loved to hike with. At 76, I now van camp (full time nomad). My long bucket list did not include Catalina Island. My daughter told me that it is a "must-see" place. After watching this video, I will add it to my bucket list. I left Lake Arrowhead yesterday due to the impending storm. My van is RWD only and even with off-road tires it does not traverse snow or ice easily. Great adventure, Catherine!

      I was delighted to see Catalina like that.Didnt you and you neice do it? I've been slathered in mud like that once too, I believe it has alot of clay in it. Eastern Washington...a mud extravaganza! But I laughted myself silly. Lovely music, Cat and the moody clouds were a plus....Those were California sea lions.

    I did that over a decade ago! Brought back memories for me! The views were amazing. I did it in the summer and it was blazing. I lived in SoCal back then, now I live in a small rural town in NorCal and we have a family of gray fox that live on our property, they come out during the day and pretty much coexist with us but we treat them as wild animals. Their babies are the cutest little things!!! ❤

So glad the sun graced you before your adventure was over. Your observations are always a pleasure. ❤

    Nice hiking trip on Catalina Island. The beach side campsites were so nice. Always nice to be by the ocean. After the rainy days, the rest was good weather for you. It's always a victorious feeling when we make the best of what mother nature gives us and not let it stop us. The ferry ride was an added plus. Very enjoyable video.

The Sierra’s are my favorite mountain range, spent many a backpack there. Thanks for the memories and your hard work making them🌼

Used to live in Anaheim, crossed island off bucket list in '72. Boo Hoo. Hoping you had a great time....didn't get seaship on the little white steamship. In military I crossed Atlantic and Pacific oceans, never became seasick. For people who have never been on the high seas.....500 ft ships are just a bobber in the water.

    Brings back memories. My last job before I retired was with the Catalina Island Conservancy. My office was in Long Beach above the Catalina Express terminal but my employees all worked and lived on the Island so I got to go over about once a week for the 5 years I was there. My Island office was in the building on the other side of the street from the hotel you stayed in. I was there during the completion of the TCT, the building of the Trailhead Visitors Center, and the addition of all the bathrooms, fox trash cans, shade structures and the rebuilding of the runway at the airport. Hoping to get one of my sailboats over to Two Harbors this spring or summer. Thanks for sharing your adventure!

    Catalina Island has become one of our favorite vacation places over the years. You really do feel like you are so far away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. Our family spent a week in Avalon, at a rental house, last June. The boat from Avalon to Two Harbors was running, so we spent one day exploring the area around Two Harbors. We hiked around, saw some bison, and even got to enjoy the beach, which we practically had all to ourselves! Saw lots of TRT hikers and it's now on the list of trips my husband and I want to do. Probably a March or April timeframe when there is less rain, but not too much heat either. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
