Day 24
After moving campsites to Big Creek, all the hiking finally caught up to me. I felt dazed and tired all day, and everything below the belly button went on strike. What I’ve noticed when I use my cane is that I disappear when I look around a room. Everyone’s gaze carefully avoids me as if I am a ghost. What Husband see’s is very different, he says. While I’m looking away, people are staring, looking me up and down, staring at the cane and compression sock combo.
I trudged around all day, as Husband made all my meals and snacks, letting me take is as easy as possible. I have had major FOMO with my declining health. What things will I never get to see and do simply because my body doesn’t have the mobility, energy, or strength to take me there? I made myself walk around the park a bit so I felt like I still got to experience it.
I particularly liked this photo in an exhibit at the Longmire Museum:
“On August 10, 1890, twenty-year-old Fay Fuller became the first woman to reach the summit of Mount Rainier. The climbing outfit worn by Miss Fuller was considered quite scandalous at the time. The above photo shows Miss Fully shorty after her return from the summit”
Really puts history into perspective. That and a line that you could see the faces of women reacting to nearby, a line that read, “...in 1914, women were finally allowed to drive in the park”.
Scandalous.
We completed Citizen Ranger, a Junior Ranger Quest-like program for older kids and adults.
This badge is dedicated to my Aunt Toni, an adventurer and world traveler. We may not have always gotten to see each other as much as either of us would have liked while I was growing up, and you probably don’t know even know that you are in a few of my most compassionate memories of showing sympathy, empathy, and artistic inspiration. Thank you for those memories, and I hope we can make more!
After this brief trip to Paradise (literally, it’s called that!) I was pretty sure I had died and gone to Hogsmeade. We headed back to camp and got a giant screw in the tire on the way. I’m so glad to have company right now, because although I have changed my own tire more than once, I definitely didn’t have the spoons to deal with it today. Husband let me hammock and read books while he worked on the car. Did I marry up, or what?
I generally don’t take a lot of selfies, but I did today. This is a good example of the Devil’s Confusion, as Toni Morrison would call it. This is how I can look so normal and have such a rotten feeling day. I hope people become more sensitive to invisible illness, because this is what it looks like; often totally normal.

Today we hiked the Rainier Skyline Trail from the Paradise visitors center. The summit was often shrouded in the clouds but occasionally they parted. We also saw several marmots all of whom were completely unconcerned by the hikers just a few feet away. The chipmunks however are very attentive and beg for food by crawling the laps of hikers and trying to get into backpacks.
The trail was covered by snow in several areas so poles came in handy.
This hike is only 5.6 miles but it has a steep ascent which is shared by the hikers who are continuing to Camp Muir and eventually the summit. Even Mt. Adams was briefly visible in the distance above the clouds.

Visiting a national park can be an exciting adventure with lots of fun and life-long memories in the making.
You’ve researched your recreational opportunity. You know how to get to the trailhead. You have your pass, your gear, your hiking buddies, water, food, and all the 10 essentials. Having left a plan with a friend, you head out for fun.
But then something happens.
It could be someone in the group gets sick, your group moves slower than anticipated, or maybe there’s an accidental injury. Lots of things can happen while you’re visiting a national park that might derail your plans. What do you do?
To paraphrase the folks in aviation, heading out from the trailhead is optional but returning is mandatory. Lots of things can happen on the trail to slow us down and it’s up to each hiker to realize when it’s too late or too dangerous to go on. Sometimes, we need to turn around before we reach our goal.
It’s ok. Quitting on a hike can be a good thing. Turning around in order to get everyone home safe is the real goal in having an adventure in a national park.
Do you have rules for your hikes on when it’s time to turn around?
How do you and your hiking buddies decide what’s best for the safety of the whole group? ~ams
For more on hiking safety, please start with this link https://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/hiking-safety.htm More information on the 10 Essentials can be found on this website https://www.nps.gov/articles/10essentials.htm To find links for Mount Rainier specific weather forecasts try this website https://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/weather.htm

Before the Storm.
Epic summer day hiking Big Malyovitzsa peak deep in the Rila mountain national park located in Eastern Europe (Bulgaria). I shot over the four days I was there and have many exposures, including the last post which was shot from the peak a few hours later - but this was the only clear conditions we had all week.
These are for sure a few of my favorites. Bulgaria truly is a hikers paradise, and I'm lucky to now call it home. After coming from many years growing up and traveling the across the Great American West, I never thought Europe would have so much to offer. Between the Alps, and the lesser known spots such as this, it definitely delivers.

I don't believe that man has ever been to medical school.
My brain finally started trickling ideas for making my own fan dude (I have about one more developed one and one thats more a concept but i. do not have the energy to draw them right now) BUT i do have the energy to draw the first one i thought of <3
My fan dudes are kind of split offs of the original dudes, so this is one from the original 1997 Postal, and unless i come up with a better name, i'm calling him Medic Dude. (Story explanation and drabble below)
After the air force base, instead of going to the ending of the game, he decides that he needs to go further out from Arizona to try and save more sick people, and to the (remaining) citizens of Paradise it's almost as if he completely dissapeared. From a statewide threat to nothing more than urban legend, his body was never found, the trail went cold and they could not locate the man after a certain point, now wandering the country with no identifiable face.
However, further up the borders there have been tales of sudden murders found in the middle of the woods, mostly from lost hikers and travelers found with either gunshots in their heads or their bodies left dead at what appeared to be some form of medical malpractice. Reports of a strange tall man wearing a long leather jacket and a rain hat have cropped up from person to person, but it seems no one is able to locate the stranger until it is too late to escape his grasp.
---
As said above, Medic Dude is an offshoot of P1 Dude, he's much heavier on the idea of Physical sickness in the people around him, and with his skills in first aid and general foraging, he's taken on the role of a traveling doctor in his mind to heal the sick and infected stragglers outside of the ground zero that's Paradise.
He has no real place of residence, instead mostly camping out in the woods as he doesn't want to be around others long enough for them to discover why he's run from Arizona, however he has been able to get money working odd jobs across the state to purchase some necessities... As well as taking some of the belongings of his lost 'patients' to keep his journey going.
He's mainly meant to be kind of a mixture of a plague doctor in feel with more of the look of a WW1 nurse mixed with a fisherman, adding to his kind of "Surviving out there in the wild" look. Also fun fact, he smells AWFUL. Like rotting smell mixed with blood and fish gut smell. He tries to put nice wildflowers in his little scarf to counterbalance it, but there's nothing to get that scent of corpse out of the coat.
#postal#postal dude#fan dude#my art#id like to draw my other ones eventually but for now im happy with this#and i hope yall like it too!! hes been very fun to think about#tw blood#i know its postal but like. Ehh just in case??#He commits so much medical malpractice <3 He has NEVER gotten a license he does it for the good of humanity <3 <3 <3

Den 80
Občas je trochu nešikovné, že si tu nepamatujeme dny v týdnu. Vstali jsme brzy, abychom aspoň trochu utekli tomu horku. Následující sekce je 7 mil po silnici a pak 15 mil do kopce s převýšením 5000 stop. Všichni víme, jaký mám názor na roadwalk, takže nikoho nepřekvapí, že jsme se rozhodli ten kus stopnout auto. Akorát že je právě dneska sobota. Takže do práce nikdo nejede a v 6 ráno nikdo nevstává.
No nic, takže roadwalk. Aspoň že je to oficiální součástí PCT. Ujdeme asi dvě míle k trochu na samotce postavenému domu. Bydlí tam Brian, trail angel, a teď už asi i legenda. A přitom se přistěhoval teď v únoru! Legenda je ale proto, že čistí trail od polomů, když se na to tady v téhle sekci PCTA vyprdla. Taky u sebe na dvorku nechává přespat hikery, má tu lednici s limonádama a pivem a grill.
No tohle místo jsme prostě museli aspoň na chvilku navštívit. Je brzo, asi 6:30, takže hikeři se teprve pomalu budí. Poznáváme pár tváří a tak s nimi chvilku kecáme. Vezmeme si na cestu pivko v plechu a chystáme se odejít, když v tom vyjde ven Brian. Je to týpek asi tak 40+ a hned po pár vteřinách musí být každému jasné, že je prostě super. Má kolem sebe takovou auru, že to na člověka okamžitě dýchne.
Ještě ani nesnídal, ale nabídl se, že nás hodí nahoru na rozcestí, ušetříme asi 5 mil! No neber to! Loučíme se a až je mi líto, že jsme u něj nestrávili víc času. Docela bych s ním rád víc pokecal. Snídám pivo a ovesnou kaši, nesuďte mě. Čeká nás hnusný výšlap a energie se bude rozhodně hodit.
Drápu se do kopce. Funím. Potím se jako ve finské sauně. I přes náš brzký start je už teď v 10 hodin přes 30 stupňů ve stínu. Ještě k tomu vede trail okolo řeky, takže je vzduch vlhký a těžký jak v nějaké džungli. Na vrcholku jsem až v půl třetí. Dávám si pozdní oběd a taky přes hodinu pauzu. Dalo mi to celkem zabrat.
Odpolední hike je něco úplně jiného, nemáme to daleko a výhledy a okolí je zase naprosto parádní. Hřebenovka, jak má být. Potkávám i další známé. Nevím, jestli jsem je tu už zmiňoval, ale už za Julienem, na začátku pouště, jsem narazil na rodinku s dvěma dětmi, 7 a 9 let. A dneska jsem je potkal zase, v protisměru. Mají za sebou přes 900 mil! Tomu říkám výkon. Kéž bych jako děcko taky takhle někde šlapal.
Večer stavíme kemp u jezera Paradise, a to znamená jen jediné, dneska bude zase koupačka! Oproti jezerům v Oregonu je tohle mnohem teplejší. Zároveň ale plné bláta, jsem zabořený až po kolena. Ale stejně to bylo osvěžující a stálo to za to. Večeřím a pomalu zalézám do stanu. Dnešní hiker rádio je zurčící potok poblíž.

Day 10 - Day 20
Idyllwild to Little Bear Springs Camp - 134.7 miles
I was going to try to post daily but its proving to be extremely difficult so here I am with 10 day updates.
So after my zero day at Idyllwild, I hitched out back to Paradise Valley Cafe and started my hike up San Jacinto, the first mountain challenge of the PCT. I've been struggling with blisters and knee pain so I'm still cautious about doing big miles but I think I could manage in a few weeks time! This is where we camped up on San Jacinto. It was right on the mountain ridge and we could see the clouds spill over into Palm Desert. It's very interesting to see a dense forest on one side of the mountain and a desert on the other. In the morning the frost had completely covered our tents.
The morning hike was absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful terrain and frost still hanging onto tree branches.
The night before summiting San Jac, we camped at this beautiful campsite overlooking the cloud covered town of Idyllwild.
Hiking in snow has been pretty brutal. We were doing about 1 mph, which can be fun at first but gets real old very fast. I hiked with a bunch of people I met on the trail and glad to say we crushed the first mountain challenge.
Okay the hike down was pretty sweet. My knee pain had subsided a bit and it finally warmed up. I was so cold every night on the mountain :/
Of course, we had to get In-N-Out! I've actually been to this exact In-N-Out when I used to live in LA so it felt pretty good to be back! I ate 3 cheese burgers and 4 fries, which I didn't even know my stomach could take. HIKER HUNGER IS REAL~
And back out to the trail. Next stop is Big Bear, which I also used to frequent in the winters to ski. I feel like I'm leaving out a bunch of stuff with these longer day updates but oh well~
The hike has been pretty sweet so far! Made it 200 miles out on the trail and I am loving it so far.
Diner brekkie is LAW. Once we got to Big Bear, we had to make sure to go to a proper American diner with bottomless coffee and some country fried steak. We are stoked to be here and to take a zero day after so long. We had just summited San Jac so we are sorely due for a shower, laundry, and town meals.
As I mentioned, I used to come here for short ski trips since it is a 2 hour drive from LA. I ran into so many familiar faces here and got some quality rest.
We hiked out to a nice stream and that concludes my 10 day update. If you want more detailed day to day updates on my progress, feel free to check out my IG: @_danvswild
I am feeling good so far! I've made tons of friends and I've been handing out a bunch of pins to people I meet on the trail. My feet and legs are getting stronger everyday and I am in love with the sense of amity and respect between hikers. I also feel a great deal of freedom and happiness from simply admiring the beauty on this Earth.
I realize I can only post when I am visiting town libraries so the updates will be sparse. Until I say I am off the trail, it is safe to assume that I am still somewhere out there on the PCT :D
