Wandering Into The Winds!

Making way out of the desert, change in landscape begins to quickly take shape. A change that presents itself through magnificent uplift. Predominately granite, this place once home to many miles of glaciers has shaped this valley nicely for being billions of years old. It’s truly such a spectacular place that nobody really knows about,

(the rangers try to keep it that way).

It was refreshing to be welcomed around copious amounts of water after being faced with such scarcity. It’s a shame early summer months is a recipe for mosquito hell here. Many points throughout this section I didn’t even bother to stop in fear of being swarmed and eaten alive. No amount of Natrapel could combat something like that. I spent some time alone on alternate routes that split off the CDT, some well worth the deveation. With blow downs that make up the first half of The Cirque, I wonder if I’ve made a judgment error and contemplate finding another way back to red line. As I break through the sudden halt in overgrowth, I’m greeted by these magnificent formations. Unlike Colorado, these mountains felt in a way much bigger and more vast. With my trash bag pants and my bug net synched, these quickly become the most essential items of that 100 mile stretch. Much of thru hiking is understanding the reality of not having luxury over entering these ranges during the most ideal of times. You’re at the mercy of short seasonal windows that make it possible to succeed in a long distance hike. I planned this section with intent on taking my time along with some on trail zeros but I simply couldn’t submit myself to such torture from the blood suckers. I feel as though in a way I misrepresent the weighted value of how this range truly felt. I was grateful to have captured something, notably this White Crowned Sparrow perched in curiosity, I dare no further in identifying, I just hope I got it’s good side. The Bridget-Teton National Forest quickly became my favorited section of trail, and for good reason. In the future I will come back with the ability to enhance my experience, spending as much time as I possibly can in a truly extraordinary section.

Hike the Pacific Crest Trail at Barrel Springs trailhead in the San Diego Backcountry mountains!  It’s a beautiful, sunny, Southern California day on the trail, so let’s explore this breathtakingly beautiful,  high altitude section of the pct.  Located just north of the 100 mile trail marker, Barrel Springs trailhead is located in Ranchita, next to the Borrego Montezuma highway that runs from the historic Warner Springs Ranch down to the low desert oasis village of Borrego Springs.

When Lightning Strikes: My Experience with Wildfires and Smokejumpers on the PCT

If you’ve ever hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, you know that the weather can be unpredictable, especially in the summer months when lightning storms are common. During my thru-hike, I found myself in the middle of multiple lightning storms and saw several wildfires start. One of these fires, which I named the Scraggy Fire, was started by a lightning strike right next to my campsite. It was a…

hanging out with local homeless guys remains my favorite town activity

#wandered around downtown hipster area for a little bit and got weird and melancholy and freaked out #then went to grocery store. did my breathing exercises and did not have an out of body experience this time #then I was sitting on the curb outside the grocery store packing my food into my backpack #older homeless guy comes up to me and we get to talking. after he establishes I’m thruhiking he then immediately asks ‘need any weed?’ #didn’t take him up on it but he’s my hero just for offering #also he asked how old I was and I said 20 and he laughed and said ‘is that all y’are! you got years and years son’ #in a way that fixed everything somehow

FT Day 29

1/30/24

We woke up and started hiking out of the forest. Shortly in the to hike there was a bathroom, which we obviously took advantage of. We crossed a highway and Morpheus decided to take the road while I opted to stay on trail. A large part of the day would be a long roadwalk along that highway. I preferred to stay on the trail while I could, while Morpheus preferred the speed of the road and to just get used to it.

There wasn’t anything too special about the section of trail, but I enjoyed being away from the traffic. It rejoined the road just before a country store, where I rejoined Morpheus. He already had a breakfast sandwich and I went in and ordered a Reuben while we charged our phones. The sandwich was amazing with generous portions. I could barely finish it.

We started on the roadwalk. We met some horses and a donkey along the way. I hate road walks so that wasn’t an enjoyable 7 miles for me.

We turned off onto a dirt trail that crossed burn areas and many forest roads. We ended at a large cistern with a picnic table. It was a surprising amount of amenities for the middle of nowhere. We filtered water and ate dinner. I tried to watch all the stars come out but soon got too cold. I spent half the night trying to warm back up but eventually fell asleep.

Starting a thru hike was something that was not a new experience to me. From completing the Appalachian Trail I immediately knew I wanted to invest my time towards a very outlandish goal of completing the three long distant trails of America. Being my first backpacking trip out West, I was confounded with endless possibilities of this trip and spending a lot of the first state in solitude was something that was very difficult for me to overcome. Through my spiraling uncertainties, I didn't take many photos of New Mexico and regret that heavily. I felt completely uninspired at the time; It was a force I simply couldn't shake. This became a potent feeling that stuck with me for miles.

Thru hiking hygiene

I talk about hiking and thru hiking a fair amount. I normally get the questions “do you go alone?” “aren’t you scared?” and “what do you do about bears???” These are relatively easy and comfortable questions to answer. But recently I was talking with someone who reads my blog, and they asked “what do you do about your period?” Now that is a good question. And not a comfortable one everyone asks.…
