Doing PCT trail magic at mile 456.7 today on the north end of Agua Dulce. 14 hikers already passed. Got sodas, popsicles, water, hiker box, wipes, and snacks.

Cooler still had ice so I’m working remotely from the trailhead today to treat passing thru hikers.

Set up some trail magic at mile 456.7 today. First hot days, good spot to catch north and southbound.

Sidewall separated from the bead wire on my rear tire. Tried to boot it with a $5 bill. It miiiiiiiiight hold. But #TrailMagic happened and a farmer offered to let me use his car to drive to Timaru to pick up a new tire.

And the bike shop had my exact tire. 700x38c Schwalbe Marathon Plus.

And the truck took $42.42 worth of diesel. Because of course I’m going to fill it up for him.

I’m now grabbing some lunch and heading back out to replace the tire.

Dropped a bunch of PCT pins in the trail register north of town.

Pins came in. Ordered a cheap batch for the trail register north of town. I’ll post on the local Next Door and encourage people to get out on trail and go get them 👍

I want to go see snow in the Sierra, I want to go climb snow in the San Gabriels, but I need to help this trailhead in town.

The roadway into the trailhead parking is a mess, few cars are going up, so the #PCT here is getting overrun by motorcyclists (even had my windshield smashed last weekend).

There's some fantastic Prickly Pear #Cactus artwork by Robert Sherrill on our #TrailMagic feature.

Turns out she literally just put the sign up recently (today?) and I’m her first guest. How freaking cool is this?!

#TrailMagic is so awesome.

Amethyst stayed with us in 2021 and 2022 while wrapping up the #desert section to complete her #PacificCrestTrail hike. I bumped into her while #TrailRunning and offered help. We love doing #TrailAngel #TrailMagic. She made this #video.
