    VIDEO: PCT Southern Terminus to Lake Morena

    While visiting family in AZ, I made a drive down to the southern terminus of the PCT and solo hiked the first 20 miles of the trail. The warm temps were nice considering is was 80 degrees warmer than home in MN. I didn't see another hiker all day. I pushed myself to the limit. A long pre-dawn car ride and a short bus ride prior walking the 22 miles with a cold was a challenge. Here is a video from the trip.

    Nice hike! That is a section of trail that I hope to hit one day as well. Now you know you can do 20+ miles if you need to!

    Great job Jeremy, that is a really cool hike there at the PCT southern terminus! Dude you had a 22 mile day and still did multiple camera plants to get some "hike by" shots- that's dedication! It made me tired just thinking about going back to grab the camera all those times lol!

    Enjoyed the video!

    Nice video, I sure hope you had the train schedule!

    I think you did more than 22 miles, I think you added another 4 with your camera drops!
