Currently, we are in Agua Dulce at Hiker Heaven. It is a trail angels house converted into a makeshift tent city with every amenity you would want as a PCT Hiker. They have tents set up for laundry, o...
Agua Dulce

This is home to Hiker Heaven. The most amazing hiker tent city known to man.

Hiker Hunger

A term often thrown around on the trail is "Hiker Hunger". As if you can only imagine, hiking 25+ miles every day will work up quite the appetite. Before starting this trip I heard of people getting t...
Mt. Baden Powell

Alpine mountain air, LA city lights, midnight guitar serenades, and box wine atop one of the tallest mountain in So Cal. Yea, life can be this good.

Mile 95~ ‐ Jun 2, 2017

After our hitch we hiked a good full day and had the best mid day rest yet! Felt good today. Camped on top of a ridge in the wilderness. Thought our friend snoring was a coyote. Good times. Great views. The stars are incredible.

Hitch back to 79 underpass from Sam Stroyer. Thanks again, brother!
