Glacially carved valleys, granite outcroppings, basalt columns, ancient volcanic peaks, deep river READ MORE

In honor of limit_situation ‘s PCT panel, I’d like to share the events that transpired this day.

July 18, 2019

I thought the feast Alan and Nancy drove out to a remote mountain pass would be the most memorable moment this day...
They had two grills with hamburgers and pizzas, garden salad, pasta salad, fruit salad, and ICE CREAM. Alan and Nancy had gifted twelve hikers this frozen piece of heaven like a mirage in the heat of summer in the Sierra Nevada. I am still at a loss of words and will never quite convey my gratitude for this generosity.

After spending the majority of the afternoon with Limit Situation, Matrix, Buff, Gulliver, Sombrero, Tank, and three others we had only met that day, continued on to camp at a site ten miles shy of where we had planned originally; a beautiful bluff positioned above a canyon framing a Sierra sunset.

I was exhausted, still lethargic from the feast earlier that day. I set up my tent where I would still have a view of the setting sun, and crawled inside.
A faint voice emerged from the canyon...
No, surely it couldn’t be someone screaming for help.
Again, “Help...”
Still so faint. But I heard it.
I bolted out of my tent and asked the others if they could hear anything.
Nothing.
I made my trail family stand at the edge of the bluff, ears angled to the mouth of the canyon,
“HELP!”
Clear and absolute.

Our new friend, Barrett, told the lost hiker to turn on their headlamp and climb higher so we could locate their position.
It worked.
Within the hour we launched a seven person rescue mission. Sombrero, Tank, and Gulliver blazed a trail through the canyon, and Barrett, myself, and our trail families held high positions along the rim to ensure one lost hiker didn’t transform into four.

Once the young man was safely back at our site, we miraculously had service and called his family.
Come to find out, he had been lost for two days and a full fledged search party was deploying the following morning.
Thankfully, using Guthook, we corresponded with SAR and led the lost hiker back home.

Whatever you believe in, believe in something. There were forces greater than ourselves at work this day.

So grateful for where The Trail leads.
