RAIN CLOSED THE TRAILS! Attempting to BACKPACK the Trans Catalina Trail a 6 DAY Adventure | Catalina

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Hope you all enjoy this week's video. For those of you who have asked what happened to Joey's channel...he has removed it for now. You can find him over on Patreon where he is posting regularly and I believe it is open for public viewing. Here is the link: www.patreon.com/user?u=29913168

[@tomlackey22]

Thank you so much! I will see him on Patreon... yay!

[@softsound2]

You keep it real. No eye candy Tik Tok. So appreciated. It's immersive.

[@victoriagoingforit6183]

Love your pre-raphaelite wavy hair. What beautiful imagery. Reminds me of hiking along the Northern California coast in Mendocino here where I live. I always love hiking along water. Beautiful music Catherine.

[@JAS4BG]

Love your description; pre-raphaelite wavy hair!

[@markpirtle1096]

Great video Cat! Just goes to show ya... when a situation hands you lemons, make lemonade! In life, it is easy to get bummed and negative minded when things don't go the way you had envisioned them in your head. Learning to take things as they come, and just going with the flow often leads to unexpected (positive) outcomes. It's also hard to get depressed when you're with Nature, no matter how many Lemons she hands you.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Very well said Mark and so true! ❤️

[@4321grp]

Catherine, It seems like you never run out of beautiful places to go.

[@alexanderweaver7066]

I love all of your backpacking adventures, especially those with Joey. He is a person I would have loved to hike with. At 76, I now van camp (full time nomad). My long bucket list did not include Catalina Island. My daughter told me that it is a "must-see" place. After watching this video, I will add it to my bucket list. I left Lake Arrowhead yesterday due to the impending storm. My van is RWD only and even with off-road tires it does not traverse snow or ice easily. Great adventure, Catherine!

[@KDbbasm]

I was delighted to see Catalina like that.Didnt you and you neice do it? I've been slathered in mud like that once too, I believe it has alot of clay in it. Eastern Washington...a mud extravaganza! But I laughted myself silly. Lovely music, Cat and the moody clouds were a plus....Those were California sea lions.

[@gracefilms2610]

Even during inclement weather, your cinematography is stunning.

[@windybrown733]

I did that over a decade ago! Brought back memories for me! The views were amazing. I did it in the summer and it was blazing. I lived in SoCal back then, now I live in a small rural town in NorCal and we have a family of gray fox that live on our property, they come out during the day and pretty much coexist with us but we treat them as wild animals. Their babies are the cutest little things!!! ❤

[@MARKCANEER]

Yet another Top Notch video adventure. Beautiful scenery and excellent camera work. Thank You for taking me along! 🙏👍

[@SonyaLargo-p4e]

Awesome video cat, thanks again for inviting us, such beautiful view, be safe and ur friend ❤👍

[@Go_Play_Outside]

Coffee with Cat. 😎♥️ One of my fav Sunday activities.

[@iridefast1]

Beautiful San Pedro where the sewer meets the sea.

[@mmadman]

One thing you can always count on is that nature is the most powerful source on earth and beyond anyone’s control. You made lemonade out of lemons this time. Your excellent editing and musical choices provided us with a beautiful experience as usual. Thanks for your efforts and determination to always enjoy nature however it expresses itself. So glad the sun graced you before your adventure was over. Your observations are always a pleasure. ❤

[@diannegunn1243]

Really enjoyed this trip with you. Don't go postal, go coastal! All will then be right with your world.

[@lynnemarieallan5013]

FANTASTIC.?what an exciting change. And its always super when Joey is with you. Absolutely beautiful.

[@allegrabraun7545]

Coffee FRESH COFFEE ☕ ☀️

[@Dougcozens]

Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word Love it

[@frederick6008]

Wonderful composition. 👏

[@deniseclark8850]

You guys made the best out of a bad weather event and by the looks of it, it paid off!

[@ryuichicoop2332]

I really like this video, because I really enjoy backpacking along the coast. If you've never backpacked along the Lost Coast, NorCal, I'd suggest it. It's absolutely beautiful.

[@beck4407]

Cat, Thanks for the memories, I used to work for Catalina Express in my 20s (I am now in my 60s).. I used to go to the Island for free anytime I wanted. We called Two Harbors the Isthmus! back then.. I have been all over that island. Thanks again...

[@dbkyhere9229]

Beautiful trip! You all are real athletes in my estimation! I always wanted to go to Catalina! So many places you go help us to see and experience! Thank you !❤

[@kymcrowart7876]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful!

[@abcsandoval]

Yep Catherine I thoroughly enjoyed it :) !

[@mikeferrannini712]

Great Video...the rain...the changing sky...wind...coffee...mud...and pizzas gave this video some "gumption"

[@EK-mx7zb]

Some of the most exhilarating days come after the days of storm…the sun breaking through the clouds and the sense of relief and renewal. Cant have one without the other. Love the sunsets and sparkling water on the west side!

[@thedaddechannel]

Beautiful trip! Thanks for the work. Oh! Loved your hair. GOOD mornings.

[@sharonchavira6645]

Thank you so much for taking us along. We've been to Catalina but would never get to see this side of it without you. The bison were so Beautiful. Thanks again

[@Judy-fi7ce]

Nice hiking trip on Catalina Island. The beach side campsites were so nice. Always nice to be by the ocean. After the rainy days, the rest was good weather for you. It's always a victorious feeling when we make the best of what mother nature gives us and not let it stop us. The ferry ride was an added plus. Very enjoyable video.

[@bngabbott]

Hi Cat (and Joey), another great storytelling adventure! I look forward to your videos, doesn't really matter the subject, you make any subject come alive on screen. I got to camp at Catalina at twin harbor when I was a freshman in high school on a school trip, back in 1976. Thanks for the bringing back some good memories 😎🕊

[@timothyhays1817]

I don't know if you could get me out of the tent. I love the sound of the rain hitting the tent while snuggled up inside my sleeping bag. When the sun shined and the clouds parted the beauty of the island exploded. Thanks Cat.

[@hairspray4314]

That looked like an unforgettable adventure. Take care Cat, be safe on your travels, and thanks for sharing...

[@jackiegaines3780]

Absolutely stunning views. I am inspired that you didn’t allow the bad weather to put too much of a damper on your hike. I enjoy and look forward to everyone of your videos. Keep them coming. Looking forward to the next one. 😁

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you very much!

[@TheHighwayHare]

Even with all that rain and fog, still a beautiful place. Last year while camping in New Hampshire, it poured for 2 days straight, flooding around our campground and caused a leak in our exhaust fan- but still an adventure! Glad you got some sun!

[@normamccafferty3053]

What beautiful skies- when it wasn’t pouring. lol So. Much. Mud. You’re a trooper. Loved seeing every aspect of this trip. Thank you!! ❤

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Always making the best of what the lands have to offer ..... My heart and soul thrive for the mountains offerings ,, but this was beautiful .... Thank You Catherine and Joey .... Stay Safe ...

[@joemiles6917]

Learned something new. I didn't know such a place existed.

[@sharondavis8003]

Catalina misses you two. Go back again when the sun ☀️ shines every day. Loved the video & all your campgrounds & views. I am totally a seaside person myself. Thanks for the trip Cat & Joey. ❤️👍🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

[@UcuFendi]

Video yang sangat bagus. Alamnya pun indah ❤

[@jillsmiles]

And here I thought Catalina was just a tourist trap. Gorgeous views. Not the trip you planned but you found the beauty in it anyway. Wonderful video. Thank you! ❤️

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you Jill!

[@atticuskilby515]

Epic! Thank you Cat and Joey for sharing the experience. That desert mud will stick to you for sure, but the scenery was fantastic.

[@dnieva]

Once again, my inspiration.

[@57Runnergirl]

Absolutely loved this video! Catalina Island is definitely on my bucket list! 🪣

[@kaykaykayak9368]

You guys make a great team, what a beautiful hike even with the rain. At first I thought you had snowshoes on the mud was so thick! Love your music picks and your hair looks cute in braids.

[@randywaller7685]

Cat... Hello green eyes. Pretty cool to see the Battleship Iowa (BB-61) on your way out of the harbor. And your visitor in your first camp was awesome. Reminds me of my friends Ralph and Alice. They have become quite tame and wait on my deck for a treat from me nearly every day. Yes I know I shouldn't take care of them like I do. Yeah I noticed your hair in this video. It's been a very long time since you've wore it in braids. And that crazy wild thing you had going on the last day. I kinda like that for some reason. 😊 Really awesome adventure sweetheart. Perfect way to start your new year. Even with all the mud. Have a great week Cat. Be good. Randy. 🤟 p.s... thanks for sharing with me. You made my day.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you so much Randy! Yes...my hair can get pretty wild lol.

[@salorjim1000]

Brings back memories. My last job before I retired was with the Catalina Island Conservancy. My office was in Long Beach above the Catalina Express terminal but my employees all worked and lived on the Island so I got to go over about once a week for the 5 years I was there. My Island office was in the building on the other side of the street from the hotel you stayed in. I was there during the completion of the TCT, the building of the Trailhead Visitors Center, and the addition of all the bathrooms, fox trash cans, shade structures and the rebuilding of the runway at the airport. Hoping to get one of my sailboats over to Two Harbors this spring or summer. Thanks for sharing your adventure!

[@Seamus3051]

Many thanks for another superb video, and its attendant glimpses of paradise. 🙂 Your walk along the cliffside berm, while attempting to avoid the mud puddle, was a bit dicey, delighted you made it safely. 🙂🙂

[@robertupchurch8088]

I’ve been to Catalina a few times, it’s beautiful. But this video showed me areas I never imagined. Thank you so much.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@danrandall794]

You are one hearty young lady!

[@marymiller2121]

Thank you for a lovely video. Your photography is amazing, music so soothing and your verbal coverage so relaxing. Usually watch a video before retiring for the night cause it is so memorizing. I just found you a few weeks ago so I have lots of catching up to do. Live in Arizona now, but spent 15 wonderful years in Cali. The Sierra’s are my favorite mountain range, spent many a backpack there. Thanks for the memories and your hard work making them🌼

[@billwilliams5889]

Great job ! Most people will never see that part of the island.

[@gerryhartung736]

26 miles across the sea. Santa Catalina, is waiting for me, Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance, romance! Darn, and here I'm camping at the "Q"! Used to live in Anaheim, crossed island off bucket list in '72. Boo Hoo. Hoping you had a great time....didn't get seaship on the little white steamship. In military I crossed Atlantic and Pacific oceans, never became seasick. For people who have never been on the high seas.....500 ft ships are just a bobber in the water.

[@kenhoward4151]

Kat, I really enjoy seeing America the Beautiful through your eyes. You’ve really opened up my eyes for sure. Thanks again.

[@bazia7927]

Thanks for taking us along. My distressed, disabled, Meeper, nomad soul, got some soothing by vicariously coming along.

[@tonycathyhickman2512]

We always love your backpacking trips, this was no exception! You manage to find the beauty on every landscape, rain, snow or shine. The music is always so soothing ❤

[@Nova2032-]

Always good to see you & Joey hanging out together ! Precious Friendships.

[@thedaddechannel]

That would be a blast to figure out three days of rain. W/ minimal to no gear or accessories. Something you’ll never forget! Hope you had a good time.

[@DeeDer-hy7kr]

Very cool video Catherine. You should try some of the amazing hikes and trails in Europe with a friend. You would love them. ❤❤

[@musicmarlene]

enjoyable KZbin, very nice trip and the rain was a lot….gorgeous scenery.

[@aprilbevis6109]

Your hair looks so pretty curly..what a adventure ❤

[@suemcdonough3204]

Thanks for filming one of my favorite places

[@charleshicks3492]

Good to see you again, natures hike is always great, rain , not so much⭐️🤩😎

[@karencaskey6210]

Catalina Island has become one of our favorite vacation places over the years. You really do feel like you are so far away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. Our family spent a week in Avalon, at a rental house, last June. The boat from Avalon to Two Harbors was running, so we spent one day exploring the area around Two Harbors. We hiked around, saw some bison, and even got to enjoy the beach, which we practically had all to ourselves! Saw lots of TRT hikers and it's now on the list of trips my husband and I want to do. Probably a March or April timeframe when there is less rain, but not too much heat either. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

[@glennnewell2786]

What an Awesome adventure !!

[@kennethmoore5629]

Glad you and Joey made the best of a wet situation😊. Island looks beautiful as does the beaches. The sound of the waves breaking is alway nice. Hope the weather gives you a break soon. Safe travels Cat.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thanks so much Ken!

[@kennethmoore5629]

Hope all is OK with all the weather in your area

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

I am currently in Arizona. It’s been rainy, but not too bad. Thank you Ken.

[@MooreToLifeOutdoors]

We've never been to Catalina Island before. Beautiful views and scenery despite the rain. Thanks for taking us along on another beautiful hike.❤

[@deborahm6036]

What a treat! I haven’t been to Catalina in many years, and only to Avalon. Thank you for sharing so much more of the island, in all her moods.

[@ambrosia-qt9ts]

It never rained when l to Catalina Island, but l loved walking there.

[@brianwalker9185]

Nice hike...even in the weather. If one can't adapt, one should stay home... Thank for these vids.

[@rrowFernando777]

Good Morning Vinnie Girl, Keep Hiking, God Bless You👍

[@desertrat3950]

Through the rain and the haze, Catherine still managed to get a good amount of her trademark, mesmerizing, landscape footage. Her mud shoes were also funny.

[@wendyschonhardt1532]

This is a new adventure and I’ve been to Catalina before, but I’ve never hiked it. I’m not sure that I would’ve liked to be in that kind of terrain. But I’m glad you enjoyed it and I’m glad you brought us along with you. Have a awesome day today.

[@kristymoore7052]

Great video, I actually remember when you hiked this with your relative some years back. Despite the mud and dirt road walking, at least it was dirt, we’ll ok, mud, you seem much happier and relaxed. Beautiful shots.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Thank you. Blessings

[@escapeartist8581]

What a beautiful place. You two worked well with what Mother Nature threw your way. Thank you for sharing!

[@dennislesh2374]

Beautiful trip........thanks for taking us along.

[@Cello20247]

Amazing video! You captured the landscapes so well!

[@NorthwestWanderer]

that was an excellent video, needed that for this mid-winter slog

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thanks so much Andrew! Hope all is great!

[@StevenRecio-kw9jg]

Awesome trip Catherine,,, I never had a chance to go to Catalina I really didn't think it was so big, love your surroundings and your videos thanks for sharing with me ,,, I'll be looking forward to watching you on your next trip!!!

[@djd31289]

Wow what a beautiful island! You're a remarkable woman, Cat. I think I would have called it after the first night. But you pushed onward and shared a beautiful hike with us! That pizza looked great, too. Nice that you and Joey got to make another memory together, too! Thank you for your untiring efforts! ❤❤❤❤

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you so much Donna! ❤️

[@julieplumb3427]

You always find the best places to hike. That’s how to make the best of a challenging situation! 👍

[@GypsyJvan]

nice place..thanks Kit Kat...

[@lindadeppner7142]

Good to see the USS IOWA BB-61 as you cruised out of LA. My son has been a volunteer in refurbishing the ship to become a floating museum ever since it was moved from the mothball fleet in Suisun Bay several years ago. Now I'll watch the rest of the video.

[@ConejoValley1A]

Beautifully done! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@Kauairun15]

Oh my I love your curly hair- so pretty! Thanks for sharing your awesome adventures

[@BJOAKA24]

I enjoyed your video tremendously. I had no idea Catalina was so beautiful. The scenery, the music and your lovely voice narrating were all enjoyable. Thank you for taking me along on your adventure.

[@roadtriplover.]

knowing how to have fun and joy in not so spectacular circumstances is HUGE. This looks like a great location and a wonderful hiking trip. Thanks for sharing.

[@roncaldwell3797]

Thank you for the trip cat I enjoy every moment of it mud and all

[@lisalandry9346]

PIVOTTTT! Great job. I’m hiking this trail in a few weeks and I appreciate you sharing the rainy-weather alternatives, just in case.

[@peggynulsen1365]

The wildflowers in Calif. will be epic this Spring.

[@elainevieira3266]

I was waiting for this video, and WOW this trip was amazing!! Thanks for sharing with us ❤ Greetings from Brazil ❤

[@deborahparker6042]

I am always to glad to see Joey with you when you go, you’re not alone then at least. He seems such a genuine, nice person and you guys love backpacking and going on trails together. I wish the two of you were a girlfriend and boyfriend. I think you guys would make a great couple and you both have same common interest.

[@TheWanderingWulfs]

We're so excited to watch your video later tonight while we eat supper! Catalina Island is beautiful! It's always fun when you and Joey go together! ❤

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@TheWanderingWulfs]

@@CatherineGregoryAdventures We did! It was so fun, muddy, and scenic! What an adventurous trip. The weather was soggy, but you guys made the best of it! On that last day, the weather was gorgeous. Praise the Lord for that. And the pizza looked delicious. 🍕😋 What a great time! Thanks for sharing! We will hopefully be hiking this trail in the future! 🥾

[@rkatrails]

Glad you weren't deterred by the weather, you guys are troupers. The rain, fog and music were mesmerizing.

[@MOTrav]

I’ve been to Catalina Island once and it’s very interesting! Sorry you had all the rain. The weather does its thing, like it or not. Can’t fight Mother Nature!

[@joeannperschall7226]

I was on Catalina Island many, many years ago. It is a beautiful island. Didnt get to do any hiking back then. Wish i would have been able to. Thank you for bringing all the beauty back to me. Be safe.😊

[@tglass0000]

What an amazing video this is! Always wanted to see more of Catalina, as I’ve experienced it mostly from diving rather than hiking . So beautiful, even during these winter conditions. Definitely on the bucket list after watching your adventure!

[@dennisyoung4496]

Kool hike, pretty place. Wouldn't have liked the mud. Nice to see you and Joey again.

[@leedanielson7452]

Awesome vid Cat! I remember you hiking Catalina island a few years back with your niece....❤👍👏🏻

[@virginiajorgensen8614]

I didn’t realize that there were so many people on Catalina island.i thought it was mostly a hiking place and it does still look like it is a great hiking place.Caked on mud,wow! You always make the best of things. Thanks for sharing. What a beautiful place.
