The PCT journey begins! Anna and I start from the southern terminus near Campo, CA, and hike our first three days to the Mount Laguna campground. The emotions are high and so is the heat in the Southern California desert! The adventure has begun! Cheers 🍻

I suggest "German PCT Hiker", great posts, but German dialogue. He's hiking the trail in stages, third season this year, latest post is just south of Mammoth.

I was living in San Diego County not far from the current trail route, when it was first getting built. Seeing these videos Campo-Mt. Laguna is pretty nostalgic for me. Never made the through-hike, extremely small chance I will, now. Spent a lot of days doing maintenance with Pacific Crest Trail Association trail maintenance crews, though.

😊can’t wait to see more Do you guys have a minimum amount of miles that you want to do a day that way you keep on track?

@justinhitsthetrail5225 3 ай бұрын

At the beginning we’re trying to do 15 or a little above. Soon enough those will turn into 20+ mile days. That way we can finish by the end of September and still enjoy our zero days in town.

Where r u guys from? I am in SoCal and recreate a lot in the San Jacinto, San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains. The Garner Valley is coming up for you guys. It has the old O'Leary LSD Ranch now owned by Logan Paul and run by his dad, Greg. Also they filmed a buncha westerns in the valley. I call it Little Jackson Hole.

@justinhitsthetrail5225 3 ай бұрын

We’re from Phoenix. We actually just passed by Garner Valley going to and from Idyllwild from PVC. A local also mentioned westerns being shot there. Gorgeous area!

@miteco1 3 ай бұрын

@@justinhitsthetrail5225 Thats great. Since the trail south to north is on the ridgeline east and above the valley most do not go down into Garner but pct was closed through this area at Fobes Ranch for several years due to burn areas so during that time all PCTers were forced into the valley where most hitchhiked up to Idyllwild. P.s. there are supposed to be no bears left in the San Jacinto Mts.

It was a pain to set up at first but we’re getting better at it. Love it though! Very spacious. When it’s fully guyed out it does well in windy conditions.

What was your start date? Leaving in a few days and trying to get a bearing on the water situation out there.

@justinhitsthetrail5225 3 ай бұрын

April 21. There will be some big stretches without water. We’ve had to decide a couple times if we want to dry camp and pack out a bunch of water, or hike an extra 5+ miles that day to get to the next source.

$40 for 2 days of provisions. What the heck are y'all eating?

@justinhitsthetrail5225 3 ай бұрын

Misspoke in the video. 3 days for 2 people. $7 per person per day. We’ve paid more than that already though. These little towns along the way upcharge everything.
