Days 1-2 we walked from Campo to Lake Morena. I won’t lie, the climb out of Hauser Creek kicked my butt. I think I cried twice. I’m still having fun. We have a massive snow and rain storm coming in so we’re gonna have a cabin for four days before we start the climb up Mount Laguna.

Less than a week away! We are working on food resupply (I have Celiacs or else I would skip shipping food). I will be leaving the border carrying 24 pounds. This includes water, fuel and 4 days of food. 😅

Wilder Ranch after the storm. #wilderranch #santacruz

Did 4 miles with my base load and 4 miles without. Saw some cool salamanders swimming! I’m so tired and sore. 😂

You look amazing! 🔥

During a break from the cold rain, we took a training walk at Wilder Ranch State Park. This heron was very photogenic. 💜

We are starting six days before you. It’s going to be cold!

I love this so much!

Trees are so complicated for me to build in Minecraft. I saw this tree the other day on one of my training hikes and I thought it would be amazing to do a Minecraft. It’s on nobby and old with old man’s beard hanging off the branches.

The weather feels like Spring came early to California. It was 75°F at Quail Hollow Ranch. It made for a beautiful training hike.

We are so excited. See you on the trail!

Thank you, Misha. Both my children are trans and I am so afraid for them. I’m also a teacher with refugee children. My daughter and I are starting a long walk on the Pacific crest Trail and I’m worried about her safety being a trans person. This is gonna be a really crazy four years.

My daughter and I have been taking some beautiful walks to get ready for the PCT. #pct2025 #pacificcreasttrail
