PCT 2017 - Belden to Chester (mile 1284-1329)

[@tictachikes6156]

This is quite relevant right now I’m 2019. I’m skipping ahead to Truckee and going back to Mammouth to fill in later. HYOH right? Love the fact you went to a carnival on your drive North!

[@Mark11340]

So sad about your boots. Bummer! Enjoying your hike!

[@Lue_Jonin]

I'm impressed with your sound wisdom in hiking "your" hike.... Being part of a tramily is cool...but in the end you always need to do whats best for you.

[@TwylaWorld]

Smart choice about jumping ahead! You can go back and do the Sierra when you can have a more relaxed time and not worrying about dying!!!

[@captandy34449]

Be safe, we love you Juliana! We love you videos so much too.

[@briansaucy4871]

Nice mixture of face and trail shots. Enjoy your amazing journey.

[@diggitydeez]

The Hitch Magician has my kind of humor. Great tutorial LMAO

[@Johnbrown-hi4hm]

Great trout fishing at Baum lake. By the boat launch and the water fall. It's close to Burney, CA. Burney falls is nice too.

[@debsmith7050]

Have fun and stay safe

[@lynlandham3779]

Smart move to jump ahead. Staying on course was not worth the risk of injury (or death!) or messing up the timing of completing your hike. Be safe. The creeks still look dangerous. I guess from the snow melt? Hope your boot holds up and doesn't cause you any problems or messes up your budget by buying a new pair before you planned.

[@crowman5936]

You made the right decision to leap frog the snow if you don't think it was the right thing to do I suggest reading a book called The Donner Party. Good luck on the rest of your trip but more snow ahead. Your hiking in my backyard now.

[@40intrek]

I personally would have to skip ahead and finish up my hike with the Jmt south. An ego can be a dangerous thing. There's plenty a venture ahead. Enjoy..

[@Wheelzzz]

Sweet memories!

[@wanderingwellness]

The news is reporting warnings to hikers regarding the snow pack. You made a great choice.

[@SandCrabNews]

Wood fires save butane. I'd be bummed if my boots got burned. At least they still work. Live for your adventure.

[@johnsonmurillo7076]

You are the the PCT queen you are beautiful

[@tippersteffi1]

Good decision to jump ahead, I live near Tahoe and it's been one heck of a snow season

[@wanderingwellness]

You are wise.

From compass and sky, types of vegetation and trees, Moss, too making fire with String/Knife and dry kindle. As A CHILD! and I can say 1 thing for Sure Girl! U are Seeing the Most Amazing things God Ever created! All of you who get to experience this hike! I have seen many portions growing up, but not logged or for that purpose, Soo Beautiful! But yes can be tragic ! so,, better hurry your asses up the Hill* haha! Good Luck ya ALL! Kick ASS and PLEASE; Keep Mother Nature Beautiful! TY VM! YEE HaW!

[@miranabrown7437]

What about Courtney?

[@JulianaChauncey]

Mirana Brown Courtney has gone back to Mammoth to spend some time with her friends there and to ski/bike

[@TheDuke-n7o]

What happened to Courtney?

[@Mrgoeniegoegoe]

[@CaminoDreams]

How many miles did you have to skip to avoid the high sierra please?

[@Starbreaker666]

Everyone else stay behind or will then jump ahead at some point?

[@diggitydeez]

Juliana, you need new boots? What size are they?

[@JulianaChauncey]

deez nits they're a 6.5, but they're working for now - I've sewn some of the melted bits, so as long as the hooks don't break off they'll be okay :)

[@diggitydeez]

That is Good news. You are in my neighborhood. If I can d any thing to help you, let me know.

[@stevetall1]

Smart move. Love the updates. Maybe pretend that you're a TV anchor and look toward the camera more often. It's hard to watch while wondering what you're looking at. Cheers!

[@60westpro]

This is the reason why group hiking can suck --- because you get in a group and then you stop hiking your own hike and you start hiking by committee-- You need an adventurers spirit to finish this trail / playing it safe will lead you down a long boring path with boring people -- 2016 finisher-- enjoy and crush
