Last week we set out on the Pacific Crest Trail, trekking up California, reaching Mount Shasta, where a little boy and a grandmother had a strange experience. I shared the Eternal Trail tribute written by a grieving father, and you learned about the best PCT resource out there, Halfway Anywhere.
This week, we pick up the trail in Oregon, home to some of the best and worst the PCT has to offer. There are mysteries on this stretch of water-logged forest. But up first? The story of an adult daughter connecting with her father on the PCT.
Let's get into it.
This episode covers:
A father and daughter reconnect on Oregon's PCT
An overview of the PCT
Unsettling stories of the Oregon PCT
Benson Plateau earned its own shoutout
How NOT to go missing
A preview of the next two weeks
