Just stumbled upon this video in my journey to get a glimpse of these trails. You captured each experience elegantly despite jumping around from location to location. I have to say, you're giving me inspiration to put aside being in my mid forties as getting too old to tackle these treks. Thank you for showing your adventures!

Great job on making the videos of the PCT. I have really enjoyed watching all of them. Man how I wish I could have been there but I'm so glad you were able to do it. Do it while you can. Oh, bring Monica over when she gets back for Pizza or something.

Hey Mike, yet another stellar video as I expected. I just trekked this section Aug 12-15, 2024, about 6 wks behind you. In my humble opinion, this was the best of my 400+ miles on the PCT this year. Desolation Wilderness is stunning! I goofed and failed to grab my free Mickey's malt liquor, and instead hiked past Hwy 40 for the added 3.3 mi pull to I-80 at 1157.8. Happy Trails! -Scott
@MikeRiggsAdventures 5 ай бұрын
Nice desolation wilderness is beautiful. Now the Mickey’s malt liquor I might pass on next time or buy something that I prefer. 🤣 that’s a big beer for a long distance hiker. Who’s now a lightweight.

Hi Smooth, Great video! I wasn’t aware of your fundraiser. My mother-in-law is in advanced stages of Crohn’s disease. As part of her critical care team, I had to get off trail when I did to care for her. Heartbreaking 💔 I sure enjoyed the times hiking with you and Gadget. I’ll be following your adventure in 2024! Hattie

Hattie, it was great hiking with you and I’m sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. I really appreciate your donation to the Crohn’s foundation. With some luck, maybe I’ll see you on the trail sometime in the future. Take care.
