YES! So excited you're doing another thru hike so I can follow along on UA-cam!
Loved seeing the flowers and excited to watch your hike. Tell toasty thanks for the quack, I busted out laughing and said ‘there he is’
Day 1 in the books! Woot! Nice change of scenery!
So excited for you all!! Let's goooo
Right on 👍🏻
Hope you two are feeling better
And it starts !!! Have fun and good luck
Following along from the Blue Ridge Mountains....looking forward to your PCT hike!
There you go again Kelly. Good to see Toastie too. Looking forward to following your new journey 😎
Wow, this feels like a late start, and its a dry year, but good luck with this hike! I recommend night hiking if its hot, as long as your nav is working. Watch for sidewinders at night though. April-July is snake season, so be alert, and watch the shaded areas along sides of trails, where they hang out. They can bury themselves in sand too. A mister is nice in the desert. Be safe and have fun!
So incredibly proud of you! Can’t wait to watch your journey!
Super stoked for your journey.
Yaaaaayyy!!!! So exciting!!! Best of luck to you!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤ 😁
Welcome to the dry west coast.
Looking forward to watching your progress.
Awesomeness! Yes to the critters and plants and flowers. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy!
Good to see you on the trail again
ALrightly then. Let's get this party started. Looking forward to you knocking this out and having fun along the way.
I have so been looking forward to this new adventure of yours 😁 happy trails to you👍🙏😁
So happy for you. Finally got started. Enjoy every moment and take it all in. Stay well and be safe.
Best of Luck! I will be living the dream of doing the PCT by watching your adventure. I need to finish your previous AT video series. Have fun and stay safe!
Great to see you hiking again with Jsmes.
Awesome so glad to see y’all get started on the PCT. Must be a little weird not sweating, stay hydrated😊Thank you for bringing us along. 😀💜❤️
This is awesome! Yay for you starting the PCT! Look forward to seeing the journey :)
Great to see you all starting. I did not realize the trailhead is so close to the border. I think I would miss the trees (woods) but the Rockies are different than the Appalachian Mountains. Stay safe and have fun.
So glad to see the two of you on trail again. I am looking forward to this hike and thank you so much for sharing your hike with us. Happy Hiking 🏔⛺️🥾🥾💕
Yay! Back at it! Very excited for you guys!
I can't believe you are back so fast how cool 😎
I’m so excited for your and James’s PCT experience!!!
Nice, looking forward to another summer of adventures on the trail!
Been excited to watch u on the PCT. Great to see you both on trail again. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Praying for healing.
Thank you very much for sharing your journey.
Stay safe and have a good hike!
I’m so excited to watch your adventure ! Thanks for taking us along. Loved your AT journey too.
Started watching a week after the AT hike stared and can’t wait to watch the whole PCT!
Great day. Keep trekking. 😀
I've been looking forward to your first day for over a month - so excited for you! Can't wait to follow you all the way.
happy to see more hiking vids from you
Enjoyed watching the video. Great start.
Yay, first day of a new adventure. You're off to a great start. 👣😎👍☮
PCT Dreamin! Safe travels and good vibes ahead!
Soooo psyched to have you back on trail! I watched your AT journey and am so excited to be on another journey with you. Your videos are great! Thanks for bringing us along!
Nice to see you back at it, good luck and happy hiking.
God bless, girl! I hope this adventure is as great as your last one!
Best of luck on your hike, look forward to following your journey!
Congrats on starting your hike !
Great day 1. Happy Trails.
Looking good out there! Carrying 4L's of water is a lot of weight added to your pack, but very necessary. Happy and safe trails!
Im so excited for you!
Salting is WAAAAY better than the constant soaking sweat of the AT last year.
Great work
Go get it girl!
Big congrats on the start of the new adventure 🤩 have fun and be safe 🙏🏼 thanks for sharing your hiker life
The PCT adventure has begun!
Hope both of you feel better soon!
Thank you !
Here we go!
Good first day! You 2 are awesome!
So excited!
Y’all got this. Y’all make sure to get water when you can, I followed The Wander Women journey and they had issues of not being able to find water sometimes. Lots of miles in between water sources
All the Best Kelly!
Day one ✔️ done 🌻
Free spaghetti! Nice 👍 pretty crazy how you're not sweating but salt is all over your skin!
Entertaining and enjoyable! A window into the world of adventure hiking that I aspire to do. Cheering you on from Turquoise Lake, Leadville, CO
I didn’t think you were ever going to start! Happy Trails!
Hey Kelly! Just one quack!!!! I hope he just forgot, we need our quacks! I can’t imagine how loud a brand new duplex is on a windy night! I’m surprised you got any sleep. Loved the shots at the border wall and monument. You guys looks so happy! That hat is perfect for the weather, I’m glad Toasty brought one too. I think you are going to need them. Great idea taking it easy and enjoying the night, it looked like a good one. 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well.
-Grateful
Yeah so happy to be following you and toasty to Canada whoop whoop
Meghan Apple, /Niece of my best friend, did it in 2020. White water guide and Ski instructor in Jackson, WY. Had a great time. Shorts in So Cal and Snow Pants at Mt Whitney.
Congrats on the start.
Good video with some good foods, so let's keep on hiking..
Having hip replacement in two weeks so can’t hike at all this year. I’m living vicariously you! Thank you! Also we are trail angels in Tehachapi area if you need anything. Namaste
Congrats!
Keep inspiring us!
Good luck Kelly, watched you on your AT hike.
Gonna be very cool to see the differences between this trail and the AT! Happy trails! 🤙
Saw your insta post. Glad you're feeling better. You got that behind you now.
excited to follow you! just a little different than the AT lol
I wish you a good trip! I will watch and like every video!
Loved the shot of the field of yellow flowers .💛 Have a nice time .. 🚶♀️🚶♂️🥾🥾🌻🌼🌻
Yay!!! Been waiting to see you! Look at you girl on the PCT! I will be watching! Let us know if you need anything, but Always love and prayers! Have the time of your life baby girl! New Trail name for PCT, is that a thing? ❤️⭐️⛵️Jenn
Yay I'm excited to watch your journey to I'm watching Mass people on this trail right now ha ha
Hope you have a great adventure and safe one God bless you
Eeekkk didn't think there'd be another one so soon! Missed your face girl!
Good luck!
Wow! Day one! Whoo hoo
Nice first day Kelly.. very different from AT but it looks like it's going to be a great journey again.
Congrats on starting the adventure! Best of luck. Thru hiker here living in NorCal. Please reach out if you guys need anything near the Oregon border or dunsmuir. Hot shower food cold soda. Whatever!!! Congrats!
Have fun guys! Best of luck. - The succulent is a Chalk Liveforever (Dudleya pulverulenta). San Diego County has quite a few Dudleya species. The bushes with the red bark are Manzanitas. They're in the same plant family as the Rhododendrons.
Very nice! Thank you for sharing
Day 1…. Done 🥳🥳🥳
Watch out for the poodle dog bush in the San Gabriel Mountains, it can cause a severe allergic reaction if you touch it. So excited to watch your new journey! 🏃🏼♀️🏃🏻♂️
That quack in the back lol. I’ve missed watching your adventures:)
Thank you, you’ve answered a lingering question that’s always been in the back of my mind for many years. Do people who’ve grown up in humid areas dislike the dry as I dislike humid claimants! Good luck and safe journys. You’ll be in heaven once you’ve reached the Sierras which I believe to be the best part of the trail.
I live in humid Kentucky, and I love the dry climates. 80 F in humidity feels terrible, 80 out west feels great. Not to mention sweating works like it’s actually supposed to in dry climates.
In KY sweat never actually evaporates, you just end up a wet mess.
@@blakew5672 I know what you mean. Went back east with a stopover in Dallas Tx when I left the cool safety of the termanal I could see the sweat coming out of my pores in seconds!
Nope. Im from Miami, and the California dryness is a dream come true.
Thanks for sharing the Content...Happy Trails&Stay Lifted...😎🌴😎🌴😎
You two take good care of each other. There are a couple plants that you are to be careful not to touch or let touch your legs….if you don’t know them, ask or do research. God’s speed…….glad to see you both on trail.
Wonder if you’re gonna make it through the desert before summer hits. This is going to be very interesting to watch.
I'm from San Diego and I thought it was normal to "salt". Too funny!! Have an amazing journey!
So proud of y'all! One question, what shoes are you in this time?
Congratulations on starting the “PCT” 😎👍
Cant wait to hear your feedback on the comparison of both AT and PCT.
That bread though! 😋
Kelly ! Glad to see you out there again James? Who's James?😄 Best of luck guys
The quack is back baby 😂
Cowboy camp in rattlesnake country. Your have confirmed your crazy .Have fun. !!!!
Sorry you guys are sick! Get a supplement called NAC! You will get better soon!
How many days of water do you have to carry everyday on the pct?
WOOT WOOT , Here we go..... dont forget to replace the salt.
