Episode 6: San Jacinto Snow (PCT 2017)

[@frankmichaeladams8868]

This is my first time commenting. When I was 14 years old back in 1974, I stood right where your were standing on the summit of Mt.San Jacinto. It was such a clear day. I looked out and saw the far away Pacific Ocean.

[@larryliggett8121]

Dixie, it was great to see the summit of San Jacinto again! I summited the mountain 60 years ago and it looks the same today, including the snow. I did it Memorial Day, 1957. I'm still hiking! Keep going! The best is yet to come!

[@thisspotrules3631]

Larry Liggett you must have been in a carrier ?? Must have been so clean up there then. I think it's my CA favorite. Hike on brah!

[@carolgage4569]

ThisSpotRules! ; It was much less developed and a lot more wildlife!

[@imhuy95]

60 YEARS AGO!!! wow i was -40

[@garyleibitzke4166]

I've summitted San Jacinto a number of times. Lots of people underestimate it.

[@missshannahmarie]

Love Perk..."watched your video and decided not to bring a gun on the trail" haha

[@kungfukenny9148]

Ive gotta say, Perc's beard is nothing short of excellent

[@mcg267]

Holy guacamole these get better and better.

[@mrgreeley6389]

Perk reminds me of Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

[@kellirustin7944]

Mr Greeley right? Thinking the same!

[@jbreamsiii]

Mr Greeley Bumble's Bounce............

[@kimbasciano_]

Mr Greeley hahah

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

Mr Greeley → And Dixie wants to become "a den-tist"...《grin》

[@samualiam9981]

I don't watch Miss Dixie for her looks. I don't watch Miss Dixie for her pretty smile. I watch Miss Dixie because she gives me the inspiration that I wish I could have had years ago from people closer to me... Thank you Miss Dixie. Good fortune and safe travels to you and those around you. BTW you're prettier than a daisy after a spring rain ;)

[@TDSudduth]

The interspersing of the ladybug and the ridge "hop" was adorable!

[@grace4today542]

I am SO DELIGHTED to be following you here! Doing this at 54years old next spring, God willing! Blessings on you Dixie!

[@tylerclemens6095]

snow and shorts and snickers and moutain top views #living

[@MTknives]

Wow Dixie, wow. Watching this video the thought really sank in, one of my knives, something I designed and worked on with my own hands is going with you on this amazing journey. Just l like you, your knife will be tried, tattered and torn, with each scar a story many will never know, bearing record of the journey. Just like you will be a different person at the end of the trail, so will that knife. I am grateful to be a part of your journey, you are an inspiration to many, keep going and enjoy the journey on the way!

[@kellirustin7944]

Well that was a hoot! And you're not even sounding out of breath at 10,800 ft elevation! You're officially a badass 💪

[@mbain84]

"I can fall down now" 😂. Loved this video, glad to hear some of that singing again!

[@leeoliver2969]

One of the best hiking videos ever. Full of drama, daring and courage. Loved the contrasting imagery of the red beetle making it's way and you scaling the rocks.

[@nakamakai5553]

Those overlapping ridge views - - wow - - Unbeatable!! Been there, done that, thanking you for the views and the continuity!! wow!!

[@ThePinkDaises]

Yay, getting my weekly PCT fix. Thanks, Dixie. Hope you keep getting that "being alive" feeling. Nothing better. :)

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

ThePinkDaises Aww, thank you!

[@wesleykremer3916]

Thanks Dixie! YOU are an inspiration as I look forward to all your adventures. Thank you for being an example of living life to the fullest with no regrets!

[@vpjohnston]

every ounce counts when balance is critical! stupendous views, adventure of a lifetime. thanks for taking us along Dixie

[@leftistelf]

Loved the shorts in the snow! May the sierras be that kind!

[@stellarpod]

Wow, just wow! I am impressed! Can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this adventure. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us, Dixie. Steve

[@silverbreezeRn]

I also love how you include the little details, flowers, ladybugs...plus awesome views. Great quality in your videos too.

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Most entertaining yet, even your worst terrain looks like our best in Scotland, this is getting addictive ATB

[@Johnwilldo]

Some stunning views! Thanks for taking us along. I am enjoying your camera close up shots. Creates interest and gives us more of an idea of the treasures along the trail.

[@wayneboyd2682]

Dixie, each video seems to be better than the last. Amazing really. The lady bug was excellent, but the "water fall" slow-mo was even better. Best wishes as you traverse the difficult conditions and thanks again for bring us along.

[@marcoslizete]

Praying for y'all, Dixie. Take care, be safe and enjoy.

[@starman10548]

REWATCHING THIS AWESOME TRIP..

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

Awesome videographic analogy between the hikers and the lady bug. Loved that. Amazing isn't it that California, being the most populous state in the US, has so much wild country. Stay safe out there. Cheers.

[@widgybushcraft7998]

What a contrast in climate, another excellent instalment.. Many thanks

[@OGPuzzler]

Loved the choice of music while "hiking" through the snow/ice.

[@wanderingwellness]

Yeehaw! Wow! This was invigorating to watch! Nice going! Those guys night hiking probably thought u were an angel! Can u imagine the relief when they heard u say, Hey! Come in! So awesome!!!! Thanks for taking us with you!

[@jessXjessful]

Girl I just wana say you are so inspiring and you have to be the most brave person in the world and I think it's amazing what you do and I love every video you make! Stay safe!!!

[@akayaker]

Lovin the quick video nature interludes. Good to see the small wonders of trail life.

[@savethebeeeez]

Love it alll!!!! Especially the choice of taking the boulder hopping route 💙

[@stitchykate]

Your editor deserves mad props, your filmography has also continued to get better and better. I started watching during the AT and I just thank you, so much. Seeing a new video is a thrill, it's gotten to the point where I might watch you before a new Greys Anatomy (and I more than love Greys Anatomy). Perk adds some great comedy to your "climb" so thank you to him as well. Just all round thanks, your videos inspire me.

[@cassandrareyes5523]

Dixie! I have been following you all the way since you stepped foot at the approach trail at Amicalola Falls and now you are tracking through snow on the PCT! You are truly an inspiration to me and because of you I am planning my AT Thru Hike 2020! Thank you for showing us that anything is possible and not to sweat the little things. Keep going and keep that positive mindset! Ill be following you the entire way!!!

[@Zoepbj]

I just love how smoothly you pull your videos together? Just awesome.

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

Zoepbj Thank you!

[@djguapo]

Great video, Dixie! It's getting me pumped to hike up the San Jacinto mountains in two days...

[@cathyneuschafer2449]

I am really enjoying following your adventure.

[@justthetip96]

Dixie, great video. Stunning views of the ladybug and mountains. Great editing job by your video editor 😊

[@kimbasciano_]

Wow that's crazy that those guys found the cabin even with no gps! Love seeing your videos Dixie!

[@johnnabors5683]

I am sooooo jealous. Looks like you are having an incredible adventure. Keep on enjoying, and thanks for letting us tag along.

[@silverbreezeRn]

I love your videos, you have a great sense of humor, and I love to sing when I'm hiking.

[@WanderingFromKansas]

Possibly your best trail video to date! I really enjoyed the action and scenery you shared!

[@victorcarter7209]

Thank you for posting your videos! Puts a smile on my face watching your journey and filling my dreams of hicking.

[@HeidiHearne]

Really love the editing you do on your videos! :)

[@JohnWayne-yc4dh]

I just found your channel today and am binge watching. Dixie girl,you are tougher than nails. Be careful and rock on.

[@annestrasko7581]

Great video, Dixie! You have to write a book after this hike is over!

[@PracticalOutdoorist]

Thanks for showing us all of the Majestic views! I look forward to more. Go Dixie!!

[@ivi122]

I LOVE hiking but I've never hiked the AT or PCT...I love how woodsy the AT but I also like how different and scenic the PCT seems to be. The landscape is totally different and I love that

[@superdave54811]

I came home to a great Wonderlust video! Thanx Dixie! Nice ladybugs!

[@KateGoldauthoress]

Christmas songs in mid-May? hahaahahaha. love you.

[@pwoodpaw]

Your videos just keep getting better and better! Thanks for sharing your trail adventures with us.

[@ridethewavebud]

That all looks so beautiful it makes me cry a little. I am loving following you hike your journey.

[@stepheneikmeier1866]

Enjoying watching the vids. Especially the trial so far. I have done day hikes and overnighters on the PCT from the beginning to where you are dropping down to. Snow Creek. I haven't done to much north of the interstate 10. I know the trail very well. Be safe!!

[@darbgames]

I just found this channel after reading the book Wild and fell in love.

[@leannescott816]

Wow you all are crazy! A great adventure though. So happy those guys found the shelter. I'm glad you posted an update, I was starting to go through withdrawals. :)

[@benbruner4453]

Best video yet.

[@deniseflygirl]

I'm glad you are getting some snow skill practice. Watched another PCT 2017 KZbinr who made it over Forester & to independence via kearsarge. He has 5 yrs experience snow mountaineering. He had skis...and those w/o were postholing waist deep, even with snow shoes. He saw several S&R helicopters in the area. He used crampons to climb some steep & icy paths. I hope you are able to get a good picture of conditions to decide what's best for you. Luv your videos!! 😻😻😻

[@mahi198724]

I now watch these with more anticipation than another episode of house of cards! Keep on truckin' girl!

[@Voodoo.77]

Thanks for another video. Totally am enjoying watching these as I did your AT hike.

[@MaryOKC]

I'd love to be there with you all right now! Good times, good friends, good memories. Stay safe!

[@robertwolfe7450]

These just keep getting better! What an adventure. Also, great job editor--best one yet!

[@clintonalden7068]

This is so cool. I live in San Diego and do San Jacinto via Devils slide and the PCT. I have done that route in may many times and rarely see snow except for past little round valley. Thanks for the great video

[@jazziered142]

Back in the day I lived in Banning and delivered mail up old highway 1 up to Idyllwild. Those were the days. That was 40 years ago.

[@BowLittleBow]

Definitely my favorite vlog so far!! ❤️ great quality too!

[@robertrockwell7581]

thanks Dixie to you and your partners for helping those hikers. awesome video stay safe and hike on.

[@timhell8420]

Good Video and a Awesome view several times. thumbs up Dixie !!

[@Mtnsunshine]

Love the Christmas singing. Good job!

[@dspmx6]

6:15....the moment we have all been waiting for :)

[@Ann13ford]

I am thoroughly enjoying your new journey! Nice job with the ice ax!

[@phgjenn]

Christmas songs in May - you crack you up! ha ha ha ha

[@hearsthewater]

Thanks for making these videos. I am home bound due to health reasons and will likely never be able to hike like that, so by you making these videos and the ones of the ACT, I get to see at least some of the sites. Thank you.

[@karenfischberg9546]

Just did a small section of the PCT from the Bridge of the Gods into Benson Plateau. We had no GPS and had to cut the hike short because of how much snow was hanging around. We were so excited to hike Helens a few days later on Friday with our cramp-ons and axes!

[@KeefsCattys]

Awesome scenery , excellent footage and a thoroughly enjoyable episode..Best yet. love it and cant wait for more.. Good luck Dixie

[@j817madi]

Perk's laugh is contagious. 🤣

[@ZAKish-cy9xu]

I'm jealous! Glad you're having fun, and making awesome videos!

[@Hiker-rk1cm]

OMG. Was just there last weekend, with some scouts. Have a safe thru-hike.

[@jmpmusva]

Only discovered you a few days ago while you were on the App Trail. Just wonderful to see the lands and adventures. Hit the wrong button and skipped a section of this. But I went back and watched it all Figured if you went back to cover the fire areas....it's the least I could do.

[@ThemckibbeysNet]

I'm excited to see how you guys handle the sierras since the snow pack is insane this year! It should be tough but I hope you don't have to skip any sections because the sierras are gorgeous with some of the most beautiful passes! Good luck and maybe we'll see you guys on the trail 😊👍🏻 HAPPY TRAILS!

[@RoughingItWithRuth]

Wow, well done! That snow looks hectic! I just recently saw proper snow for the first time, and I could not believe how much more work it was to traverse. Stay safe!

[@Vic_Crowe]

Another great adventure, wow! Looks like fun and amazing times.

[@haayyitshannah]

i love your videos so much! i get so excited when i get the little notification that you upload. i've always been into hiking but your videos specifically have made me super interested in thru hiking recently :) love your content hope you are having a lot of fun on the pct

[@christianstiltner1104]

best episode so far!

[@rustingsun]

Love your work and really appreciate these nice long videos. Thanks very much for sharing these.

[@cjt4935]

PCT. is AWESOME!!!!!! JT. from Oregon.

[@loaizacam1934]

Great footage. Good job. That looks like quite a hike!

[@williambadenoch1439]

Ooops, hit the wrong key. Welcome to my, our SoCal world Dixie. More power to you! Go Tiger go!!

[@thadtrier8737]

I was watching this with my wife trying to figure out what eye sacks were. Being new Yorkers, finally figured it out lol. Ice axe, too funny love the videos.

[@PSnGa]

Great epi Dix. Loving them all and wishing it was me!

[@mountainmom3773]

You really picked a wild year to complete the PCT! Good on ya!

[@MrDCentertainment]

did a section hike of the AT because of your videos. and now in AUG i'll be walking up mount Whitney. Love the Videos, Always look forward to more

[@MstrRo]

Thank you for the update. I wonder if the snow fields would be a little more set up if you tackled them in the earlier morning hours? Keep practicing your self-rescue. It can save your life.

[@Smokin07ram]

You have videos for days Dixie! :) Great video...I liked the music too! Feeling inspired!

[@kimbasciano_]

Love seeing your video updates so much Dixie!! Hope you're doing well! xoxo

[@underthecarolinasky2363]

WOW! Dixie, what an adventure! You will never forget your life's experiences because you went for it - and so brave too! Be safe, and thank you for the awesome footage. PS: Trail days VA was great this year :>)

[@sallyjones4239]

What a fun video to watch!! Great job! Lovin' the music choices.

[@exploringfloridatrails1834]

You dear are absolutely awesome! love your videos and your wonderful presence

[@mycatlovestool7225]

yeah girl, rockin' it!

[@hughkarenwarren1234]

Bravo for making it up San Jacinto! It is definitely the best view until you get to the Sierra Nevada. It's worth the detour even without the snow.

[@mesugo]

Love the ladybug climbing/boulder hopping juxtaposition :D
