[@susantruelove2125]

So funny seeing you all in the truck...hiding! You're having such an Adventure Mary. The Joshua tree symbolizes 'The strength and beauty that can rise from dysfunction.' See! Your not alone.

[@seantran4178]

[@apen2152]

Start thinking Appalachian Trail🤗

[@rumblechick73]

Good grief! It's a gaggle of gigglers!

[@robertbarnes6047]

Lots of first How was your Mountain Dew?? Did you get a pick me up??😃😃 Get you laundry done?? You are the happiest person in the trail ❤️

[@nifflofair6685]

You're definitely deprived in England! We get Mountain Dew here in Scotland!!!

[@trailheart1863]

Another great video 😊 lots of American firsts 😂🤣😂 that food looked so yummy, thanks for sharing.

[@martingonzalez-ic8zh]

Good day. I Love it when PCT Hikers sat "It's only 10miles..." You look just fine as always giggling Mary...freezing PCTers Solar charging! 1st laundry experience in America? I hope it all went well. Great video as always. Safe&Happy Trails.

[@delmorejr1950]

No retakes allowed, Big Bear and a Zero, Tisk Tisk. Sometimes being rebellious is a good thing. Make life more interesting. Your hiking the PCT, dirt is normal. You guys are having far to much fun. Enjoy your Zero. SAFE HIKING

[@hikerJohn]

Those pines around Big Bear are special as well, they are Pinus monophylla (AKA Single-leaf Pinyon Pine). Single-leaf Pinyon is the world's only 1-needled pine. The photo's never do show the real beauty of it do they? I was just up there last week and felt the same thing.

[@jameswilliams7420]

Gotta love them blue bellied lizards. Awesome video.

[@johneason6540]

Glad to see you able to get vegan meals. Loving your videos, you are so chatty, even worse with mountain dew caffeine rush Hahaha! Good to see you so happy on trail with your friends. Best of luck. Would love to meet you in norcal!

[@TXGranny2]

Y’all are having too much fun lol. Keep on giggling Miss Mary Sunshine ☀️

[@coryoverstreet865]

Fantastic and super fun video Mary! Hike on🥾☮️

[@EvaFitts]

You don't have to mind coming into Big Bear dirty. We are used to it! The Vons has been filled with slightly smelly, puffy jacketed people for a few months now.

[@tommckinney1489]

Hey, don't be afraid to wear your dirty clothes into town. All hiker trash people do it :) and it's not strange to miss the trail while you're in town, but it looks like you're having a good time. Hike On!

[@Alanguz1]

Mary, you’re having so much fun. Your joy is contagious 🙂

[@derekfox5510]

Another wonderful video Mary. It really is so nice to see you being so happy on the trail. Laying down in the back of a pickup was so funny 🤣🤣🤣 I really hope you have more happy days like this x

[@williemoody8898]

Thanks 4 the video and solar charging you guys needed it.

[@adventurebythemile]

Love you videos!!!

[@carolbarnsley1740]

Mountain Dew has made someone hyper! 😂

[@Johnnywalleye1]

Mary the music in this vision was splendid.

[@jonhart511]

Your happiness is a joy to watch Mary, keep up the good work and keep on journeying 😁

[@arthurjamison772]

You are not enjoying yourself are you:)

[@kathyjohnson6087]

You're such a happy camper aren't you?

[@djg5950]

You picked the absolute best time and best year (super bloom year) to hike the desert section of the PCT. I remember the first time I visited California and visited the Mojave desert. Came back several years always in spring, April or early May to see the flowers and cactus in bloom. I visited Joshua Tree National Park about 4 times, Death Valley N.P. 4 times, Anza Borrego Desert State Park, twice, Yosemite N.P., Sequoia N.P., and King's Canyon N.P. all only once. I remember the thrill of seeing my first Joshua Tree, too, and the Sequoia Trees and other large Redwoods with the huge pinecones. I totally get your amazement. Everything is so different than what you see for normal scenery. I live in the Northeast where everything is green all the time. People (Natives) of Cal. would say, "But, you have trees !" and after years of seeing the desert weren't so thrilled with it, ha ha ! But I LOVED it. These are memories that you will remember for years to come. The sheer beauty of the landscape. The desert and the Sierra Nevada. Nothing like it anywhere else. Enjoy the rest of your hike. More surprises to come.

[@djg5950]

P.S. I'm so glad that you decided to Vlog your hike and so we can all enjoy the PCT through your eyes and feel the excitement. Thank you for doing this and hope you continue to have an exciting hike and let us share your joy. Good Luck.

Fun funny video. Watching a doe and her fawn in my front yard right now. The fawn is growing. John from MI

[@djg5950]

I'm jealous John. None of the females that visit my backyard have brought this year's fawns around yet (June 30th). I'm waiting but growing impatient. Last year I had three does visit regularly. One with a single fawn (think the mom was killed late August. Always saw the fawn without her after that. She survived the winter without her mother. Came around often all winter to eat), one with twins, and the third had triplets. Waiting to see what the total will be this year. (I have new neighbors that, I think, smoke on their back porch a lot and maybe the does are staying away because of that ? Not visiting as much as usual this year).

[@gpk7683]

So happy to get your post.

[@randysmith6493]

Looks yummy.

[@TheMrsKKB]

Ha ha ha - you make me smile and giggle :) my first laundromat experience in the US was in 1990 while traveling through the west for 3 weeks. Picking out the ones that didn't look scary was interesting ;) Keep on smiling!!!

[@leodoro8877]

On the days that you find yourself struggling, remember what Scarlet O’Hara said, “Tomorrow is another day.” Travel Well.

[@kellys1458]

Fantastic close-ups of the wildflowers! I'm really enjoying your hike vicariously, Mary. Thank you for sharing your adventures with the rest of us who can't get out there. Glad you got a chance to take a zero and recharge!

[@Jimbo-pm1dp]

[@tropics8407]

Great music, right one with the trail....How do you choose it where do you find it ? And that landscape is special....all desert like with splashes of paint 🎨 thanks for sharing

[@johneason6540]

Love the music today, so correct for a high desert walk! I post on IG, eason7204, I hiked Oregon PCT section G last week, posted the wildflowers in bloom.
