Day 122 on The Pacific Crest Trail, 2000 MILES ! Mount Jefferson

[@picturenut]

I am an 82 year old Canadian woman from the Provence of Newfoundland. I just felt that I had to write and tell you how much I have enjoyed walking with you on the Pacific crest Trail. I’m too old to ever dream of a doing it but if truth be known even if I were young I would never have Done so. But it’s been amazing I have enjoyed every minute of it and I cried along with you when your friend died. I actually heard that on the news before you announce that he had died. Of course I didn’t know who he was but I knew that someone on the Pacific crest Trail had been hit by a tree. Today I just felt like telling you how much I enjoyed it and You. I certainly will be following you to the end of the trail. Happy trails.

[@flymatilda12]

Congrats on the 2000 miles. I cried along with you. Its been an amazing journey and you should be so proud of yourself for all you have endured to get this far. The next 650 should be amazing as well.

[@BabySnowdrop]

Congratulations on 2K! You have inspired me to walk 4 miles a few days a week in my flat, humid SWFL neighborhood.

[@AGloriousLife]

BIG CONGRATS on your passing 2000 miles on the PCT! So inspirational!

[@donwyates]

Those views of Three Fingered Jack and from your campsite were just gorgeous. I also appreciate the way you spruced-up that 2000(!) mile marker. I've really enjoyed vicariously hiking with you! Oregon is probably my favorite place.

[@nhlibra]

I'm an old salt from Maine, spent half my growing up years there. I watched the sunsets closely because I sailed a lot back then. "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning." That evening red sky means tomorrow's day will be nice for you.

[@danielkutcher5704]

Bleeping out the Tat man's bleeping language! 😂You are too much, Kate. Another beeeeuuuutiful day! Thanks again. ☺👍

[@solarsoltice9075]

Many years ago, I backpacked west to east. Briietenbush hot springs, west, over the north flank of Mt. Jefferson. I camped that first night in a snow well under a tree. The next day, continued east, off trail. Crossed the Warm Springs reservation. Came out on the Metolius River. Continued to Hells Canyon, and back. It took about a month.. I had just graduated community college, forestry. Must have been 1986. Congratulations on your journey. We have crossed paths many times on the trail. Just different times.

[@solarsoltice9075]

Thank You.

[@paulgoeke758]

I think those vertical veins in Three Finger Jack were just amazing. Would've been neat to see it with that evening lighting. Congrats on the 2000. You got your work cut out for ya bleeping IBTAT!

[@michelleoglesbee-flores3648]

Absolutely beautiful. The close up of Mt. Jefferson and the colors. Wow

[@cycloptical26]

That purple tinged sky with the full moon at the end...oh my!

[@LiboltAdventures]

7:32 beautiful view. Congrats on the 2000.

[@hikerJohn]

LOL, Love the trail marker dress-up.The "boink" sound was so funny I did not realize at first it was editing out language.

[@annahasty7191]

Congratulations! 2,000 miles is mindblowing! 😀🤗

[@jeffro8373]

LoL way to dress up the mile marker, Kate you made someone's memories a little more beautiful because you put the Feathers spin on it just like you sharing your videos!! Lots of love and hugs to you

[@bryanirvine6169]

Given that she has already released video of PCT days, she's already passed Portland some time ago.

[@RhondaGraceExploring]

Absolutely love your commentary on your videos. The views..... Just Wow! 🗻🌲🏕️💜

[@bkbland1626]

Wonderful light! I'm digging it, Feathers. Getting there.

[@terridunning3450]

Oh Kate you made the 2000 mile mark...you go girl!! Hardly any time now you will hit the Canadian border...i love your videos. You are such a strong, awesome woman, and I am proud of you and all you have accomplished.

[@spartyhikerfromme5492]

Wow! Officially a 2 times 2000 miler. Also Happy Birthday to Mama Feathers. Nice cotton candy clouds. Glad to see Bruce got a credit. Sometimes your wildlife guest stars don't. Peace, Love and Kindness.

[@LynS216]

Congratulations on the 2,000 mile mark! 🎉 As usual, your video was wonderful today. Thank you fur sharing your journey.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

I like how you let folks know it's not a picnic doing what you are doing! Keep doing it! It has been amazing to follow. Keep a Goin'!

[@delmorejr1950]

Woot woot 2000 miles, Canada is just around the corner, figuratively speaking. Dressed it up nicely. Quite day with an awesome camp site at the end of the day. SAFE HIKING

[@mikefredd3390]

Thanks for the video. I have lived in Oregon 55 years and never have seen Obsidian Falls or the Castle.

[@neilfrost9017]

Spring sounds on IBTAT was so funny. Tell him I have some gear suggestions for him then run away ( joking ) I love both of you on the trail.

[@patstreet6690]

👍👍 2000 miles!!!

[@johntubbs]

Watching your videos - which are outstanding! - is always great. They do, however, show how tremendously different Oregon is now than when I section-hiked the state in the mid-90's. So many areas have been burned over that they look completely different then when I was hiking through. At least it's good to see the life coming back. A couple of those fires burned so close to the town of Sisters that at least parts of it had to be evacuated (like nearby Black Butte). On one of my trips, a late evening thunderstorm lit off a fire within a mile of where I was camped by a lake and planning to take a zero day the next day. Two smokejumpers were dropped in early in the morning following the storm, and I decided to stay for the zero, figuring I could wade into the lake if the fire blew up. Fortunately it didn't and the smokejumpers put out the hot spot. They came clanking up the trail hiking out the end of that day carrying HUGE packs with chainsaws, shovels, etc. I asked how heavy they were. The answer - probably close to 100 pounds each. Those folks are beasts in he absolute best sense of the word!

[@lonanakken1688]

That is a lot of miles! Way to go!

[@daddygogo2479]

Awesome job! 2000 miles! Well done

[@stargatesdobe8725]

WooHoo!!!! I am so proud of you. I have been watching you from the beginning. You have inspired me in so many ways. I hope to start my 1st journey in 2 years I will be 52.

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again KATE! A day filled with gorgeous colors and a mile marker of great accomplishment!!! Not even so much the distant but How you gotten there! You have overcome survived and thrived with the most beautiful positive joyfilled attitude! The wonder and awesome appreciation in your voice is so special to hear. I'm quite sure your paintings born from this journey will reflect all of that wonderfulness. Stay safe and healthy Kate. Thx for another day of terrific...

[@guyo1947]

I'm listing to all your videos on the background noise while doing other stuff on the net. when I heard that rubber band noise..I realized you taken some words out!!

[@elishiagwartney9786]

Glad you left the decorations. I can just imagine the smiles it brought to the trail :)

[@tomsalter3570]

I know that these videos are coming out later than where you actually are. Hoping that you are in WA and moving towards the border. WA is your home state--that's good! And congrats on 2000 miles!

[@tucsonwilly]

Great videos, you made my day, glad you had some good weather!

[@davidbeasley5840]

I really like watching your videos, the lighting color settings on your camera is just perfect. The scenery videos is top notch!

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello Kate, happy Sunday and congratulations on having completed 2,000 miles on the PCT. Very artistic on that 2,000 mile marker. You really should publish a book, to include all of your paintings which you've done along the PCT. The very best to you out there on the PCT. 🤗

[@cutler1ful]

Awesome 2000! Such beauty through your eyes. Loving the adventure, thank you for taking me along the journey ❤️

[@kellyjohnson3617]

Congrats on 2000. They were hard earned on a remarkable weather year. You are in my part of the woods now, at least where I grew up, outside Portland. I just love this part of the world. Thanks for sharing it with us and taking us along on your journey

[@patboothe2016]

Congrats on 2000 miles! Only 650 more to go, you got this girl.

[@yellowroseoftexas2890]

[@Lue_Jonin]

BIGLY CONGRATS on 2 K miles Feathers !!! Your artistic eye for videoing truly beautiful views is on point.👍 Keep peace in your mind as you hike and a smile on your heart. ✌ 👣 😃 ❤

[@elisabethe8055]

Mount Jefferson looks like taken from a Disney film. Just breath taking! Nice day for hiking and making it to the 2000 mile sign, that you jazzed up like a queen! :)

[@johneason6540]

AWESOME! 2000 miles Yahoo!!!

[@justinserna502]

WOW! The colors in that sunset are amazing! Thanks for ending your video with that. Its helping wipe the visuals of IB TAT " milking" the goat. Lol

[@Cornelu]

Congrats on 2000! Have a wonderful safe trip the rest of the way.

[@robertzuber9162]

Those were definitely goats, we saw droppings all over the top of the ridges. We climbed Three Jack the day I met you at Timberline lodge. We came down the scree field, think skiing in loose dirt. It was much faster coming down than going up, the up route we followed the tree line, and then across the back side on the top of the ridge.

[@solarsoltice9075]

2000. Great accomplishment.

[@txhypnotist]

I love what you've done with your back yard.

[@gailforster5260]

Thank you from an old lady in Ontario, Canada!

[@johneason6540]

Bruce seemed happy to have company over, Hahaha

[@zandramangrum5483]

Love the "bling" on the 2000 mile marker!

[@Wakulasan]

Just amazes me how you video along those trails-(especially along the side of a mountain)--it's as if I'm right there turning my head back and forth taking in all the views, even experience a type of fear of missing a step and start sliding down the hill--haha (beautiful photography-Thank You!!) CHEERS--You "2000 Master"!!!!!!¡!

[@zenandink3531]

OMG-congratulations!! Unbelievable!...SO amazing 💕🌻-you bring a lot of joy to all of us!🙏🏼

[@mikeholmes5824]

That first BOING!! scared the hell out of me.

[@marebtm5886]

Just beautiful scenery! Thank you and congratulations on 2K!!!

[@lorettaanayaify]

CONGRATULATIONS, IM YOUR NEW SUB.. NICE TO MEET YOU...SAFE TRAVELS...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@johntaylor346]

In the army when we did physical training the drill sergeants used to say go to "muscle failure". I couldn't help but hike that way. The girl that got the record (Jennifer Davis)on the AT said the first time she didn't hike to muscle failure and the second time she did. I met her at Damascus. She is very tall.

[@onis1969]

congrats on 2000..

[@ignatswilliams]

Ringo Star would say , "Peace and Love." Amazing Grace.

[@ignatswilliams]

I just repeated myself. My brain still works! Water temp in Sandy Eggo 73F!

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

Love that section between santiam pass and cascade locks it does get a little flat for awhile after ollallie lake though!

[@nana73carol46]

Once again A Beautiful video! It is as if you're taking us with you and we're right there. It's amazing to me because I will never get to do this in my lifetime. Thank you so much for sharing these videos with us! Nana Carol

[@keithcarper8809]

I think I saw Bruce on another vlog. Sure looked like him! 2,000 miles CHA !!! Thanks Kate!

[@richardross7219]

Congrats on the 2000 miles. Beautiful day and trail. Quite a sunset/moonrise. I hope that IB TAT isn't bothered by the sting/bite. Good Luck, Rick

[@judywallace9009]

Great video Feather! Loved Bruce! Amazing photos! Your going to have a lot to paint! Stay safe! I’m glad IBTAT is hiking with you now! Happy Birthday to your Mom!🤗💕

[@lapicker1010]

Those may be some of the most incredible views you've captured yet. Nice work and congrats on 2k.

[@johneason6540]

Some more great video today, the sunset and lake water colors, gorgeous. Also great storyline with your vids

[@nifflofair6685]

Where there are blueberries there's normally bears or Bigfoot 😀

[@robertzuber9162]

Sorry Kate, the mountain at 5:50 is Three Finger Jack. We climbed this peak after seeing you at Timberline Lodge. I was incorrect at my prior comment. Keep strong, no more bee's hopefully, and I hope the snow is light as you go north. My wife sent a care package to Snoqualmie Pass post office, remember it is only open from 8-12. Hopefully it gets there before you do.

[@KateCloud]

I'll video opening it for y'all

[@bobosantos1]

Congrats on 2000 miles! Woo Woo!!!!
