Just got out of the first part of the Sierra. So cool you did some River Crossin’ . Thanks for mentioning me. I’m excited for your journey. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@cottontalesfromthetrail5474]

What a beautiful start to your morning and the Malt Shop is an awesome place! Happy Hiking

[@gabriele1975]

“River crossing “ 😂😂😂 The Hiking Dancer is famous!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

She’s infectious.

[@jhayft0703]

It’s even on wildflower adventures!!

[@dbstewart4496]

Enjoying your logs, thanks for sharing. BTW, don't look 50 something. Not at all.

[@jacquikostige4001]

You two are my inspiration. Love your channel. I'll be 60 in June and would love to start doing some hiking

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Aww thanks! Get out there. Start small and stay healthy.

[@cottontalesfromthetrail5474]

I thru hiked the AT at the age of 60. It was my first long distance trail. You can do it as well.

[@sablerubycocoa]

Chicago and Sunsets, thanks for sharing your PCT adventures with us!!! Loved Sunset's shirt!!!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

The comic is from Evan at Evan’s Backpacking Videos. He allowed us to use the image for a fundraiser for our hostel years ago. I still have a couple of the shirts I wear.

[@Karen-dq8nw]

Hope sunsets is just hot and not burned! I get that way too.

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Nope that’s just my complexion after exertion. 400 miles (now) and no sunburns.

[@tangenttrails]

Another wonderful episode! So happy for y’all. Keep on moving!✌️

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Thanks!

[@debsmith7050]

Great video! You guys are surely off on an adventure of a lifetime 💙 We appreciate all you share

[@Itsallabouttheviews]

Great start! 99 percent to go made me think of 🎼"99 percent of trail to go 99 percent to go...you hike up down another 25 miles around ...98 percent of trail to go!!" 🎼 lol!! You can sing that sunsets! Thanks for sharing! The undercast was really cool! Happy trails!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

You really don’t want me singing. Lol.

[@vshybeej8756]

ROTFLMFAO!!!! That was sweet!

[@meriwethersayan]

Excellent video! You 2 are doing great, faster and stronger than most.

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Thanks! It’s a challenge but we’re having a blast.

[@littlethislittlethat456]

I used to work on a farm in the summer and I always hated those biting flies. Saw a naked guy? Where were the biting flies when you needed them? Hey, it's California! John from MI

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Lol

[@jefflanger5475]

I want to be you guys in my next life! Glad you are enjoying your hike so far. PS. All the cool people wear hats like Chica!🧢🧢🧢🧢

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Chica is cool no doubt, but I love my hat.

[@pappy3502]

Thanks for sharing those wonderful wildflowers!

[@dennislavelle6909]

I'm loving that you guys are doing it and you're both so positive. I think we are looking at the early thoughts of you two being potential triple crowners! Love that hiking top Sunset is wearing- do you mind divulging what it is? Keep in hiking you two!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Let’s get through this one first -lol. My sun shirt is a merino wool from Evolved equipment or ZPacks. The link for it is on the gear list video in the description.

[@beckyjay8073]

Been wondering about you and here you are! So excited for you, enjoy your journey

[@jojohikes]

Sure hope the naked guy put sunscreen on the nether regions - ouch! ☀️🥵🤣

[@ChicaandSunsets]

😂

[@kampersadventures958]

Naked guy on trail…..California throws another curve ball lol Early town meals are great! Doing great!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Always!

[@wildeone1636]

Impressive balance Chica. I would have been afraid to walk on that log.

[@Mtnsunshine]

Thanks for Episode 2. 👍

[@TravelingOutsideTheBaatz]

Dude Hotbuns says she never sees a naked guy on trail 😂😂

[@ewokinthewoodscairn8908]

I was wondering how long it would take to see a rattlesnake. Be careful. Trekking poles are helpful for checking areas before stepping

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Great tip. 4 rattlers so far.

[@iceagerrb2800]

I’m surprised how green it is so far. I like Sunset’s tshirt from E.Schaefer (?)

[@ChicaandSunsets]

It’s vibrant out here. Hike Yours!

[@jhayft0703]

That naked guy probably would have stopped me dead in my tracks and trying not to stare lol. I also would have been speechless!! My thought was he probably wanted all his body to get suntan??

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Haha except his head with his Sunhat! Lol

[@jhayft0703]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@suemoore1965]

🎨 YOU TWO ARE DOING GREAT 👣 I AM SURPRISED THEY CHARGE YOU TO CAMP IN YOUR TENT 🏕️

[@ChicaandSunsets]

It’s a campground with facilities. Most tenting out here is free.

[@vereddar6420]

I seem to recall you guys on the first week of your AT thru-hike. Your plan was not to exceed 10 miles a day for the first week or so. You're aging backwards!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

lol. We have much more experience now and we got some great training in before this one.

[@johnbarns548]

Super fun to watch you two. Life happens and discrepancies happen. Love horny toads and have not seen one since we lived in San Antonio to years ago. Amazing zebra butterflies and be very aware of rattlers. Sincerely enjoying your journey

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Sunsets grew up in San Antonio.

[@sandrap3047]

A naked hiker already? It isn't even naked hiker day! Enjoy!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Lol
