Hi! In this video I continue my hike of the Pacific Crest Trail! I hike to Snoqualamie and Steven’s Pass. I hitchhike to Skykomish and Leavensworth. I hit my personal 2000 mile mark. I see the most beautiful sights in the Mt. Baker Snoqualamie National Forest. Backpacking the PCT has been quite the adventure for me and I’m happy to share it with you all!

Hello Twiggy, You have such a great talent for making such captivating videos. I'm 69 years old, stuck in a wheelchair, even though you have me sitting on the edge of the seat, enjoying all the awesome scenery you have amassed in your wonderful adventure. your eye for nature scenes, such as the cute little creature carrying the twig, was so cool. I watched it 3 - 4 times trying to figure out what the heck it was. Washington certainly has many awe inspiring lookouts to boggle the imagination. Thank you so much for showing the beauty of this state that I no longer can physically travel to. You are fulfilling my dreams of beautiful places I always wanted to venture to, and experience. you are a gift from god to me. THANK YOU!!!!!!! YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!!!!!

Twiggy, when I started your videos, I was living in Colorado Springs, then I lived in Mexico for a couple months, and a few weeks ago I found a place here in Leavenworth, Washington (the little Bavarian town you show in this video). I'm loving it so far and plan to settle down here for a good long while. I've intentionally been spreading out your videos because I don't want them to end. I hope you do another big hike in the future for us to live vicariously through. I'm still hoping to do the PCT next year, and I'm trying to get in as many hikes as possible to prepare.

You have evolved over the course of this hike. I see it and I think you feel it too. I am happy for you and think you will take the lessons you learned on the trail and about yourself as your life unfolds. You really soaked in the beauty of the trail through the rough patces and the easier terrain. I shall anxiously await your next video.

You should move to Washington, one of the best states for outdoors. I know almost every PCT trail road crossing. Because my off-road trails cross the PCT at various points. it’s fascinating talking to these hikers that started 3-4 months earlier and come from other countries to do this trail Oh and September -October is when the bees in Washington come out to look for food for their hibernation. They get super aggressive.

Hi🙂‼ Normal good upload from you 👍With normal high standard of capture 👍 You make traversing all these mountain passes look as easy as falling off a log ‼ These place look great in summer while "on holiday" perhaps not so good in winter from the point of view of getting to work ? My experiance was Spain which is great in summer not so good at -11C with snow drifts blocking the road ‼ Anon ⁉ Braveria dose not actually look like that but its a brave try though 💯👍 Wonder what the little animal was you wanted to take home ?! Don't think it would have liked you doing that ☹ Looking forward to the next one( we really do need to fill in that gap💯) 🤩😍🤗😚

Congrats on feeling that 2k mile backpacking mastery! I've spent a lot of time in WA for fun and work. Summer up there is great, winter not as much for me. I always suggest spending a week or so anywhere during each season to get a good read on life there. Done that routine for a long time now, only found once place I would move to from Tahoe/NorCal, and that is New Zealand but the point system they have means I am not moving there.

@twiggyhikes Жыл бұрын
That’s a good point. I met a local family in this area and I said “you’re so lucky! I hope to live here some day” and they said “ha! Wait until you spend your first winter here!” 😝 New Zealand is on the bucket list too!

Good Sunday afternoon Janean. What can I say? These videos just keep getting better and better. - but that's to be expected from a strong and talented offgrid woman such as yourself. The video is evocative of the poem "The Four Seasons" by Cecil Alexander" "The fields are rich with daffodils, A coat of clover cloaks the hills, And I must dance, and I must sing To see the beauty of the spring. The earth is warm, the sun's ablaze, It is a time of carefree days; And bees abuzz that chance to pass May see me snoozing in the grass. The leaves are yellow, red, and brown, A shower sprinkles softly down; The air is fragrant, crisp, and cool, And once again I'm stuck in school. The birds are gone, the world is white, The winds are wild, they chill and bite; The ground is thick with slush and sleet, And I can barely feel my feet. The last is done, the next is here, The same as it is every year; Spring -- then sunshine ' autumn ' snow, That is how each year must go." That being said, thanks for sharing a tour of your wonderful life homesteading on your farm - and of course, always stay in touch. 💖😍🌼🌻
