A SoBo's Tale | Pacific Crest Trail: Chapter 2 - Stehekin to Skykomish

[@eddieoleary9817]

I did this same exact thing at 7:56 going down to Milk Creek. Fortunately there's enough overgrowth to hold on to lol

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Hahaha, yeah, I wonder if they've cleared that section?

[@eddieoleary9817]

@@RyanKodakBrown For the sake of other hikers, I hope so! Although, I was there back in 2019 and already there were small trees growing where the trail should be, so it hadn't looked like it had been maintained in years.

[@RyanKodakBrown]

@@eddieoleary9817 I was there in 2017 and it looked much the same then too!

New here..... What does "SoBo" stand for? Stunning footage! Even the fart noise LOL

[@caseyjones3319]

"SoBo" is an abbreviation for "South Bound" "NoBo" is North Bound"

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Just as Casey said, it means Southbound. I was hiking from Canada to Mexico through California, Oregon, and Washington. Thank you! Was worried the sound effect might be over the top but whatever! ✌️

@@caseyjones3319 Thanks so much!

[@johannaespitia5315]

So pretty love story! You belong to each other 🥰

[@user-kp5it2pq4z]

Great vid. What sandals were you wearing?

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Thank you. Bedrocks

[@highdesertforester]

I fell off the trail about one mile from Milk Creek SoBo also. Unfortunately I broke my ankle in the process and had to be extracted by helicopter. The overgrown brush makes it impossible to see the tread of the trail.

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Oh no! What year were you out there? I watched someone get airlifted out at Mica Lake in 2021

[@highdesertforester]

@@RyanKodakBrown This was July last year, 2023

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Wasn't you then. Such a bummer though man! Did you make it back on trail?@@highdesertforester

[@highdesertforester]

@@RyanKodakBrown Not yet. During the time I was laid up I lost all the fitness I had spent months working on. Gonna hit it again this summer.

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Heck yeah! Good luck out there! Say hi to Washington for me, I really miss it. @@highdesertforester

[@Jan.harvey]

Best love story ever!

[@davelipsiea1553]

I can see why you want to marry her. Great video and editing.

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Haha, indeed! I'm lucky to have her in my life! Thank you and happy holidays ✌️

​@@RyanKodakBrown it's crazy to think if you were running a day earlier or later your paths might not have crossed and your life would be much different without her.
