[@kimberlypenney7216]

Glad to see you pop back up! Was starting to worry. The excitement over folding chairs is understandable.

[@robinfinehout1160]

[@margaretbuzzell7575]

Glad you are back on trail. Enjoy following your journey

[@travelinbeat]

Thanks!

[@martinfromholland751]

Beautiful shelter, hot tube, the only missing thing is the beer tap ;)

[@travelinbeat]

Oh man, if only!!

[@thomaswilcock4099]

I too was getting worried something had happened. Looking at those horse blankets as more padding, could make a comfy bed. Stay safe, looks like the meadow areas could be pretty wet. Thanks for posting

[@travelinbeat]

Yeah I considered borrowing blankets but decided I didn't want to have to fold them up again!

[@natswinter8917]

Sorry I missed you in Mammoth, was out of state. Glad you got some reprieve, the Sierra is a beast rn. Stay safe out there and thanks for posting!

[@travelinbeat]

No worries at all! Thanks for watching!

[@Mountian-Zen]

Good stuff … in the horse tack room, a climaxing finish to the day.

[@travelinbeat]

It was LUXURIOUS

[@markp0752]

Great find! A dry place to sleep !

[@travelinbeat]

Oh YEAH!!

[@colleenyork7354]

So good to see your videos again! Beautiful hike - hurray for hot springs - healing both body and soul! Nice to find the tack shed open - chairs, yay! I’m wondering - you were so averse to shelters on the AT because of mice, who have chewed through many a hiker’s sleeping bag. Are mice absent, or better behaved, on the PCT? I was also thinking of fleas on horse blankets - but I don’t know anything about fleas or mice, and how extreme winter conditions affect them.

[@travelinbeat]

We took measures to protect our food in case of mice abd perceived neither mice nor fleas, though both were certainly considerations

[@AndyTomaselli]

back in the day Reds Meadow hot tub had a locked wood lid in off season but you could jimmy it open just enough to get in. The high line variation there over San Joaquin Peak and Two Teats goes to Donahue Pass without many creek crossings but I’ve only done it on skis

[@travelinbeat]

It was a great little soak we enjoyed!

[@KrizAkoni]

The days all blur together…😂 great day on the trail!

[@travelinbeat]

And how!

[@JillG98]

Curious to know what you packed for 12 days of food, are you still using your modified for the Sierra’s food plan?

[@travelinbeat]

Yes it was all the same stuff from the video before leaving Kenneday Meadows South-- couscous, fats, etc

[@dougw63]
