PCT 2021 Episode 4: Beautiful, But Brutal (MM 101.2 - 151.8)
Hey guys! Most of you know I ended my PCT thru hike attempt a couple weeks ago. I made it home safely, and it’s been a bit of a whirlwind since then. At first, it was making the rounds to visit everyone and do some fun Florida things my family had already planned. Then, there was an unexpected death in the family. It seems I made it home just in time to be with my family through this last week or so. That being said, I’m doing well. Things have calmed down, and I’m getting the chance to reflect on my hike and do a little catching up. I’ve been taking a break from social media and CZcams, but I’m getting back on board here at last 😊 Thank you guys as always for your kindness and support, and your patience with me.
I did hike about another 40 miles after this, so there will be one more video, hopefully quite soon, about those last 40 miles and my decision to leave the trail and end my hike. Stay tuned for that. 💙

Hey guys! Video number 3 covers the stretch between Scissors Crossing (mile 77.3) and Mountain Valley Retreat (mile 101.2), where I took a lovely zero. This was a tough stretch for me. Sometimes it felt like the trail and the desert were working against me. I cried for the first time on trail, thought about quitting, all of that....I didn’t quit though. I’m determined to push through, and conti...

    You are incredible! I've actually found the most pushback in body positive spaces, particularly once I decided to start treat my obesity. I got the sense that body autonomy isn't as inclusive as it should be. I decided to treat my obesity out of love, not hate for my body.

    The horses won’t hurt you; but, you didn’t know that. It was fun to see the island. My husband and I lived there full time until he died 10 years ago. I had 90 days to give house to government and barge off. Its not easy living there with no bridges ,mail, stores ,nothing! One of his houses was the Beulah alberty house in front of the church. Then we lived at little greyfield beach road area. I miss it all very much, it was a magical part of life. I now live in the smoky mountains of NC

    I just found your hike channel today. For some reason I missed it last year. I really enjoyed it and am sad that it didn't work out the way you had hoped. You did get to experience a small sample of it though. I think it would be way more fun to have a hiking buddy to commiserate with at least while camping. As you probably know each segment of the trail is quite different so don't be hesitant to try section hiking in the future. The high Sierra is great after most of the snow melts and Northern California is entirely different from Southern California. Oregon is another great hike if you can brave the mosquitoes. Washington is even better than Oregon if you do it before the snow & rain hits. Yes I think that section hiking is the way to go and you don't have to complete the whole section, just do what you want of it. Cheers and great hiking in the future to ya gal! --Jack
