Every year there are numerous hikers that hike the PCT some starting in Mexico and headed to Canada but there are a few going the other way. Due to floods a few years there has been a detour that usually brings them over Little Giant and then they walk up the road to the Buck Creek Pass trail to reconnect to the PCT, but this year because of the storms in Nov and Dec there are reports of over 400 trees down on the detour making it even harder to use so this past week I have been coming across many hikers walking up the road but coming from town not the trail, they are starting to feel an urgency to get finished as the temperatures at night are falling and even here we have been down to 33 this week. I met one hiker that had to be finished by tomorrow in Canada so she could fly home to Oregon and sleep in a bed and have a real meal before beginning class Monday. April hope you made it, she was averaging 24-26 miles a day. Not an easy task out here so Kudos to all of those planning to finish in the next couple of weeks. The hiking gear has changed to a little warmer clothing especially at night which I found out is when several of the hikers we have met are hiking, not bad with a full moon but when you are deep in the forest with only a headlamp you have to pay attention. Blessings to all those travelers.
We found our Paradise, hope you find your too.
