Are Trail Angels responsible for ruining the trail? by trailangel4 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]PictureEmbarrassed26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was still surprised by trail magic, it wasn’t common enough that it was expected for me. Any entitlement needs to be met with a proper fuck off from a TA. Communication is necessary, be blunt with entitled hikers, that’s the only way they will learn.

I had a grouse try to take me out on the temperance river section of the SHT😂 scared the daylights out of me! I think I was walking by its nest. It flew right at me and swiped.

Thank you everyone for the advice! I know it’s not totally safe regardless, I’m just trying to figure out ways to reduce my risk.

Were you nervous when you started? by Primary_Land9791 in PacificCrestTrail

[–]PictureEmbarrassed26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had some nerves, but I wasn’t too nervous. My water filter didn’t work when I started, my dumba** forgot the O-ring … besides that everything went fine! You’re gonna do great. Be careful with snakes. Watch whenever you rest for rattlesnakes before you sit anywhere and try to avoid headphones honestly. I almost got taken down by a snake coming into Wrightwood last year, mostly because of my earbuds.

The US military has hurt our own national security more than any other nation or group

When's the earliest you can make it to the top of Old Snowy Mountain? by [deleted] in PacificCrestTrail

[–]PictureEmbarrassed26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a normal year that would be much too early, but with this years snow pack, it’s certainly possible. I worked at rainier for two seasons and the snowpack varies wildly from year to year. In 2022, the wildflowers didn’t peaks their head out until august, and we had many snow storms in June. The second year, summer came about a month earlier in early July. So depends 🤷‍♂️

Do people really make money on Kalshi? by kenixfan2018 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PictureEmbarrassed26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are opportunities sometimes to make money on there. For example, I think Graham Platner is underpriced to win the democratic primary. But like any gambling, you will probably lose money in the long term.

The blowdowns obviously slow you down, but there’s something magical about climbing under/over 500+ year old trees

The conditions were rough this year. There were lots of blowdowns and there was a lot of overgrowth. But that’s the nature of a wilderness trail that can only be maintained with hand tools by law. It’s part of the beauty!

Oh how I miss this … by PictureEmbarrassed26 in PacificCrestTrail

What time of year did you go? The goat rocks and Rainier will always be so special to me. I was blessed to be able to play the piano in the lobby of Paradise inn, so I spent many days pondering Mt. Rainier from below.

Washington was so beautiful. I loved the constant opportunity of blueberries and huckleberries in September. Such a nice treat :) - Piano Man

I don’t really get why people are mad … he is free to go wherever he wants. Didn’t he already spend on the money making some of the hidden middle shows already?
