Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail | Part 4 | Days 9 - 11

[@stevenvarner9806]

This was all pretty much one type of California chaparral or another. The first part was the transitional area on the very edge of the Colorado Desert (part of the greater Sonoran Desert). It's still intermixed with some chaparral plants like the Deerweed the bumblebees love at the beginning. It is in the pea family and is great for nitrogenating your garden soil. I have lots of it in my garden. You then go back into regular Chamise chaparral at the water gate, and get of bit of oak and grassland around warner springs. North of Warner Springs you get into some old growth chaparral with big Red Shanks shrubs the size of trees. Chamise and Red Shanks are the only two plants in their genus (Adenostoma). You're back into pretty standard Chamise chaparral again to Mike's Place. - Good on you for knowing the birds. The Spotted Towhee and Bushtits are some of the most common chaparral birds. The California Towhee is also common.

Hello again ladies, just watched the episode Re choosing a suitable trail name, whilst Bird song and Baz, appear to have been settled upon, I cant help re allocating the Faffetts of the West Highland way to faff 1 and faff 2 of the PCT. Thats how i see it. Just thought i'd thow it out there.

@@WildHomeHiking Thanks for the prompt reply, I just think the sugestion is short, to the point, Definitely accurate, and as such, points to you both being Quintessentially British.👍👍

Hi Ladies, I think the sun must be getting to you, there was a lot of shit, chat waffle, especially at the beginning! 🤣🤣🤣 Keep it coming, it’s very amusing. 🤣

[@doriang4662]

I wonder what their hips will be like in few years ?

[@neilcam]

Not to be rude or nothin', but I suspect it's the location of the blister that may be the most, ummm, ahhhh "surprising" thing... Anyway, now having washed my mind out, how wonderful to see another video!

[@c.b.sutherland4790]

100 down - how far left?

[@WildHomeHiking]

The whole trail is 2,650 miles so we had quite a few to go from here 😅

[@PeterFLB]

Basil Flush? for Nico? as in Flushed sensitive British skin.. Or Face Plant?

[@WildHomeHiking]

Face plant is definitely appropriate 😂

[@PeterFLB]
