    I love watching the fog/clouds roll in. That was one of my favorite things living on the coast in central California. It’s kind of otherworldly when it comes rolling in so fast.

    I remember this one. Bringing light to someone’s life is so valuable. Last January my dear friend who had been taking extreme Covid protection measures but still had to go to work in her office got Covid from a coworker who did not take any protection measures. Because of the nature of their work as sign language interpreters where 80% of the grammar is on the face, they cannot wear masks. Well it was the month when us here in CA got hit the hardest. She got Covid and ended up getting Covid pneumonia and ended up going to the hospital which sent her ho e cuz they were full. They recommended she go home and call 911 so she could get in queue for the available bed. She was in the ambulance on oxygen for hours. I think she said 5-6 hours. There were ambulances around the block with patients literally dying to get in. By the time she did her oxygen levels were at 50%. Fast forward October and she finally got accepted to work from home. But because of missing so much work she couldn’t afford to buy the furniture she needed to set up the home office so she’d even qualify in the first place. But on faith her family of mostly friends, since so many in her actual family are no longer with us, got together and bought what she needed. Irony was on her first day of work I asked her if there was anything she still needed. I told her that I got from a friend a hot water dispenser for my home office from a dear friend(I had Covid Jan of 2020, one of the first ones so I didn’t get it as bad as her) to make my daily tea. I asked if she could use anything like that. She said that morning, her first morning of work her coffee pot died and I know she’s all about her coffee. So went on Amazon and got next day delivery of coffee maker and some nice flavored coffee to make in her new pot. Someone helped me out. And I believe in paying it forward. It’s been a rough year for all of us. A rough couple of year. My dad died of cancer and my mom got cancer in 2019/2020. So it’s vital we keep our eyes open to give ‘trail magic’ to anyone we can, on trail or not. Your posts were like trail magic for me this past summer. Thank you.

    Great video! Thanks for sharing. You give a more realistic view of what it's really like hiking the PCT. Has anyone documented the "real" miles that a PCT hiker walks that includes the miles to town and back for resupply/zeros? Seems like it would be way more than 2650.

    • @jasonedlund7282
      @jasonedlund7282 3 роки тому +2

      There’s been a few that have tried best quess is 1000+ depending on how many hitches into town compared to walking into town!

    • @Zan1T2
      @Zan1T2 3 роки тому +2

      @@jasonedlund7282 If you were to hike the PCT in 20 weeks, getting off trail 20 times to resupply, hiking ≈ 8 miles round trip to a town or road to hitch, that would only add 160 miles to the total. So 1000 seems excessive. No?

    • @jasonedlund7282
      @jasonedlund7282 3 роки тому +2

      I hiked pct back in 2014 yes your assumptions are correct but my hike was 167 days with resupply was closer to every 3-5 days! Then there are many side day trips must see like if doing different summits and so on! I know I did over 200 miles in just side trips! Then during zeros not really zeros can do a lot of walking in town! So yes I agree around 200 could be done but not realistic with so many options of things to see! 1000 would be max but 500-1000! It’s such a tough question but made me think back and think about it!

      We avoid side miles as much a possible and have been very lucky to snag rides right from the trail. I think we walked .8 to a malt shop, 1 to the store in Laguna and about a mile to another malt shop

    I have watched many PCT video logs. I must say that your video stories are the best: they are a joy to watch. It is amazing how you bring joy and cheery dispositions to each day, even though each day requires great stamina and determination. Way to go gals. I hope you don't have too many days like the one when you descended Mt. San Jacinto: that looked brutal.
    I have one question: did you really get water from that big bucket of slug.
    Hike on, and keep smiling!!!!!

    I can hike 20 miles in one day. The problem is I can barely walk the following day because I'm in so much pain lol. It takes me like a week to recover from a 20 mile hike. Hiking 20 miles per day for months on end is just impossible for me.
