    My husband told me about your channel. I like to identify plants.

    Don't worry about the mileage this early in the hike. Bigger mileage days will come. Very few, if any, thru hikes go as planned. Don't let that get you down.

      Thanks for the encouragement! I think I am putting too much pressure on myself to go go go.

    Absolutely amazing. I recommend you visit k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place. Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower

    I head up to Mt Laguna quite a bit. It was nice of the French couple to let you crash out there. I've been up there on cold snowy days for day hikes, or photographing. The food's good, and that fire keeps the whole place nice and toasty.
    Snow hiking up there is a lot of fun. But when it's windy, you really don't want to be on the ridges.

    I left on 1 March and had days of 'car wash' since the rain was constant and the trail had not been trimmed. I've realized over the past 8 months that my early start cost us a LOT in amenities and kind actions. Pine House awa other venues weren't open for the season as we arrived.

      March 1st is very early. If I did it again I would look for a date in May.

    Great content.
    But please kill the music.
    It’s poorly selected and too loud. But most importantly, we want to feel like we are out there with you. Pretty sure you’re not wearing headphones listening to loud music.
    Please allow us to hear the sounds of nature with you.
    All the best and stay safe.

    Cold weather. Take care of you. Your music is a little loud and distracting to hearing you talk. Keep trekking. 😊

      So far so good. I did go to a clinic in Julian. They took care of me and fixed me up. Just a small scab at this point. Keeping an eye on it.
