#26 PCT 2021. Agua Dulce To Wrightwood, CA

Climbing mountains and meeting wonderful people along the way.

[@theskyehiker]

You are in the desert at just the right time. Not too hot, trail angels have recovered from the spring hiker bubble and the sunsets are killing it. WAWO for the win!

[@helenwallis5914]

Your description of Dave and Janet was perfect. They ooze goodness. I love them so much and I’m so glad you got to meet them. 🦘🇦🇺

[@lynnedmiston5237]

We are so glad we met them! Thank you for telling them about us!

[@YellowRoseoftx]

You are all worthy! Y’all are crushing this trail and I am so enjoying it thank you 😎🌺TX👍🏻

[@rkatrails]

On your Monday hike you passed 40 miles west of me as the crow flies. Angeles National Forest and San Gabriel Mountains are where I do day hikes and conditioning hikes for summer backpacking trips in the Sierra. You're also trekking along the San Andreas Fault, but hopefully it won't add any drama to your trip!🙂

[@Myn6211]

Loved the Wrightwood Market Notice "Please Do Not Enter." Your town dance keeps getting better and better. It's awesome you've met so many wonderful trail angels along the way.

[@IrishSuzyAM]

It’s great to see you all in your element sitting in the desert taking in your surroundings 🌵😀

[@sweetpea191962]

Hi Lassies Wow the colours of the skies were amazing. Hope your all well? Your doing great keep going 👏 💪 👍

[@pismorichy]

Nice people everywhere gives great hope to all of us outdoor lovers. The benefits of social media which I am only a spectator of can provide massive benefits! those of us who were doing PCT prior to this social media world had much less benefits and more challenges. I did the the Camino Del Rey 2 yrs. ago, it is only a day hike but I highly encourage all to visit if your in Andalucía. Santiago is a trek for the summer and fall.. Pura Vida.. Wood-Man. Pismo Beach. Your mileage continues to amaze..

[@lizspackman3879]

Awesome ladies! I just enjoy your adventures!

[@evapierce1090]

Another awesome town dance. Its wonderful to hear all about the amazingly kind people you have connected with. Bless all those who maintain the water for the hikers.

[@demelar]

Amen

[@kristymoore7052]

You 3 have convinced me I can do it! Nervous about water and heat, but with the right planning and support, AND seeing your flip flop type hike, it looks doable! I’m going! No not 2022, but yes 2023. Hoping more doesn’t burn. Ok maybe 2022.

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

Yay, best of luck to you.

[@doriswlongAgoandfarAway]

You all are great town dancers. You dance up all the amazing people.

[@movingmountains3565]

The Vasquez Rocks is such a cool place, and that tunnel, yes, I totally remember that spot! Keep on keeping on my friends, getting so close, whoo hoo!! xoxo

[@helenwallis5914]

Oh you girl’s are so sweet. Just finished watching #26. Shout out back to you gorgeous, gorgeous aptly named Wander Women. ❤️❤️❤️

[@melissabarfield126]

I love your videos. Town faces and now Town Dances are my favorites. Go ladies go!

[@kellyjohnson3617]

You are right about the water caches. You are still in the Mojave desert snd headed eventually to the Sonoran desert. After wrightwood you will come up on a reservoir with a pretty decent sized creek that this time of year should still have some water in it near the hot springs. But wrightwood will be an excellent place to zero. Smart to just bipass the fire closure. What a great cabin you got. You will enjoy the trails between wrightwood and big bear. But lots of elevation but a lot of beauty. Enjoy it snd thanks for posting

[@gaylewalker4239]

You all are doing amazing Town dance 💃. Keep trekking.

[@stanthemanhikes2965]

"Getting wealthier and wealthier meeting people". Love the attitude!!! Thank God for the trail angels who deliver water. What a surprise and joy that must have been to arrive at camp and discover ranger supplied jugs of water. Yes watch out for those poodle dog bushes I hear they are quite ferocious!

[@demelar]

Their bite is worse than their bark.

[@sandrap3047]

Great to see you ladies are blessed with so many trail angels! Love watching your journey!

[@conniereilley8226]

I very much enjoyed this video. I believe you met my sister in the Sisters area. I am sure she told you we lived across the street from Vazquez rocks. Long before it was a county Park. It was privately owned when we moved there. I myself have done the rocks to Soledad Cyn on foot and horse back. We also rode through the tunnel to get to friends house.

[@the_jangle]

Love the gratitude you express for the folks who support the hikers. A labor of 💕 love!

[@michelleoglesbee-flores3648]

So many great people out there.

[@andrewhanson4674]

I love your videos! It's really fun seeing you SOBOing in southern California, not the same views typically posted by NOBOers. Love your story, love your tenacity, love your spunk!

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

Thank you.

[@esthershankula6760]

Wonder Wander Women! Woot woot 💕

[@janmariolle]

What a tough section! I’m so happy there are so many wonderful people there to help you on your way. ❤️💕

[@TheDen2022]

It's great seeing you three again. I always get excited when I see a notification. Wander Wemon on the trail again. I love it. Stay safe and blessed 🙏

[@wanderingoutyonder]

These videos always leave us with the feeling that we need to drop EVERYTHING, grab our packs - and get out on another adventure! You ladies are so incredibly inspiring! So wonderful that you are meeting so many kind & wonderful people. Keep it up ladies - WAWO 100%!!!

[@janetspencer9054]

I’m going to have WaWo withdrawals. Thanks for taking the time and energy to share your experiences. I looked forward to your updates each week.

[@helenday1984]

You look amazing ladies!!!

[@elisaadams2292]

Buen Camino!!!

[@Johnjds]

Fun to see people passing through my backyard. Sorry I wasn’t in town to offer help in Agua Dulce but you had a hookup anyway 🙌 Glad the San Gabriels were good to you, enjoy Gorgonio and Jacinto! Downhill from there, almost done ✅

[@OklahomoHiker]

Goodness, those sunsets!

[@sandyfeet1220]

Your videos just make me happy! Love the town dance! How funny would it be to choreograph one? 😆

[@rrichardson53]

Always fun to watch your latest vlog! Looked like a tiring section for you three -thank goodness for the water caches, kind women to gives rides etc. Enjoy your zero at Wrightwood- the lodging looks nice and comfy!!!

[@maysusy4]

Lady’s welcome to my beautiful South California. I wish I can meet you guys. I live in Palmdale very close to Hwy 2 . I drive every day to Glendale . thru Los Angeles forest Hwy and Los Angeles crest Hwy. in May I can see many hikers. I am so happy for you guys who can do now this great adventure. 🇺🇸🇵🇪

[@demelar]

Thanks for the encouragement. I wish we would have met you as we crossed the road. Is that a Peruvian flag at the end of your post?

[@maysusy4]

If you ever do the Florida Trail, I’m a few miles away and can pamper you, too!

[@wineberryred]

Keep it up! Looking forward to pictures of you at Campo by Thanksgiving!

[@lindaselover2536]

I am enjoying your music - Now I will expect this as "hiking music" and will need it for when I get back on the trail! You are just cranking out the miles, amazing! Thanks.

Don't wait! Life is short! ...word!!

[@johnklemmedson6527]

Been watching these great gals all season and love them!! Best part is all three can somehow be talking at the same time without interrupting each other. The three headed hiking beast lives!!

[@freedomrider2958]

1st YaY, You ladies rock!

[@melindakier1661]

There's a great spring at Little Jimmy Campground...just off the PCT, close to the 2...I think north of Dawson Saddle (Maybe)

[@RobinT-treehugger]

Love you gals,

[@spurgecochran2738]

So very cool, love your videos! BTW It's Springtime in New Zealand..just sayin'

[@andrewpaisley]

My wife is going from Couch to hiking the JMT next summer and we are training now. I am so proud of her. She says “why are all these backpacking videos with 20 year olds. I want some old people videos! “. And then your video showed up in my feed. Don’t blame me. Blame my phone which was probably listening to our conversation. Anyway you guys are great. Good luck with your trek!

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

I love this. Best of luck to you both.

[@nitsymccarthy7803]

Getting out of the scrub for awhile and to a better woodsy part near Lake Arrowhead for next section. Troopers, ya are!

[@kristymoore7052]

Dirt sitters. Love it.

[@telafon57]

I have been section hiking the PCT, still have to do this section and E that you just did, just to finish southern CA. It’s good to see water is still out there even when there aren’t as many hikers out there. What was the most water you had to carry for this and the last section? I’m planning to do them in March or early April, not sure which direction yet, I hadn’t considered doing them at this time of year since I was worried about water. Thanks for sharing, just discovered your videos a few of them ago.

[@sharonhorton5603]

I'm amazed at ur endurance. I just starting walking again, and I can go about 3 blocks. I'M 77 YRS. OLD. HOW OLD R U 3?

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

Awesome, way to get out there. We are 64. 64 and 57.

[@bohemiancalypsodreams2685]

You ladies are so inspiring. I've been watching your videos for a year or so now. I've always wanted to try hiking & backpacking & took just one 2 night trip up the Devil's Slide Trail in Idyllwild many, many years ago. But, I've never been around other ladies who were interested in going & I'd prefer to have a hiking buddy (or a few ;). I was thinking I'm too old now, but after watching you 3, I think if I managed to get myself conditioned, I just might still be able to do it one day. ;) I would really love a chance to meet you & am wondering when you'll be passing by S22 - Montezuma Valley Rd or Hwy 78 at Scissors Crossing. I am thinking of running out to the Anza Borrego campground in Borrego Springs next week (14th-18th ish (?). If you would be going through around that time & amenable to a quick meeting I'd be thrilled & if you would be available, I'd definitely go. If you needed a ride into Montezuma Valley Market in Ranchita or Borrego Springs from S22 or Julian from Hwy 78 for some pie & restocking, I'd be more than willing to run you there and back. I couldn't find any other way to try to reach you, so hoping you see this comment in time & can reply to let me know. Thanks! Sherrill

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

We plan to get into Julian around the 22nd. We have someone picking us up already. But thank you so much for the offer. If you are around Julian, maybe we will see you.

[@bohemiancalypsodreams2685]

@@wanderwomenkristyannette5021 I thought you might have already made some plans. If I'm close to Julian around the 22nd, that would be great. If not, I hope our paths cross somewhere someday down the road. In the meantime, I'll keep watching your adventures! :)

[@helenvwalker7919]

My ears pricked up when you hinted that you might be doing a Camino in the future. I have done several sections of it in Spain and Portugal. I live in Spain so if you need help with anything, please let me know. I would love to meet up with you or walk with you😊😎

[@lynnedmiston5237]
