Love your journey, especially enjoying your wonderful footage of all the beautiful animals, plants, flowers, rocks etc you encounter along your way 🌎💙💚
Great video as usual! Funny - I've had the same buff for 3 years, it's my favorite :) It does look very similar to Arizona and all the extra rain has really transformed the desert with all the beautiful wildflowers. I saw a rattlesnake and bull snake within 10 min of a recent hike and they are gorgeous. Giving the rattlers space is definitely a smart thing, they usually don't want anything to do with humans anyway ;) You are doing great.... I am looking forward to the next one. Happy Trails!
Rattlesnakes, that looked like a Southern Pacific. Don't throw things, use a stick, or run and jump over them, instead stomp your feet. They pick up on the vibrations when you stomp and will generally move along. Nice vids Tiki Condor.
Beautiful video! Just be aware of the Poodle Dog Bushes and poison oak! Thinking of you gals daily! Stay safe and enjoy the Lord's big backyard and of it's beautiful critters! God bless!
Excellent video of the bird in the bush, especially with that wind. Do you know what kind it was? There is nothing better than to hear those magical creatures in the Spring. 😊 And you just keep saying how beautiful things are, because as you said, “It just is.” I agree. 👌
Just stomp your feet on the trail if you come upon snake..they can't really hear sounds, they sense vibrations , that's how they hear.. Usually they'll move off if you give the trail a good stomp. Throwing rocks might scare it and trigger aggression. Just a friendly tip:)
I've been finding myself really looking forward to your videos. Your vlogging style is great. You capture so much and do a really great job telling us what your experiencing. I'm loving your journey.
Beautiful footage! I'm watching while lying in bed on the Regal Princess cruise ship in the middle of the North Atlantic - just about the polar opposite of what you are experiencing! You are doing great. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Cheers! 🚢⚓️
Tiki Bird Tracy Thanks! It's a 20-day cruise that ends in St.Petersburg, Russia! A marathon, not a sprint! We're on the 12th deck - I'm climbing a lot of stairs instead of using the elevator so I don't feel guilty that I'm eating like I'm going to the electric chair!
Good to see you Condor! Looks like your really enjoying your adventure. I'm cheering you on while I drink my coffee. I'm moving a little slow myself this morning but I have plenty to do so your my motivation today lol. I always look forward to your videos be safe and have an awesome day.
Hi Always waiting to see your videos. The desert had so much water this winter, exceptional year, everything green and in bloom. But, it has seemed to have been excessively windy this year? But, it does make it cooler that is nice, since last year it was eighties already. I, will be in the AZ desert o. Wednesday next week hiking. I'll be thinking of your desert journey also. Enjoy yourself!!!
The first rattlesnake I've seen on video this year! I really love your close up video and still images of different plants and animals you're meeting along the way, it helps me see the variety and color you describe but the camera rarely delivers in broad views. You've got that hiking itch now, it forced you to leave Julian, lol 😂😂
Thank you! The Canon definitely picks up much more color and detail than my phone. Never as good as in person though. I need to do more night shots... love those! 😊
Getting old is _elll! We can and will accomplish what bulletproof younger hikers do without thought. We just need to use wisdom and different strategies to get it done. The good news is that we smell more "roses" and have time to notice the beauty the outdoors offers daily.
YERMO Adan No I’m in Texas , she said the blue bonnets were starting to bloom when she left Texas . I was commenting that it is a good year for them here in Texas. I edited my comment 😁
Good job tucking in out of the wind, but you did mention something about possible rain. So that poses a question about your tent placement. I hope you don’t get wet in low spots or drainage, so do watch out for that when choosing a site to set up. Interesting bird sound. Nice plants. Getting near your 100 mark. 👍
I did consider the tent placement and the rain chances went down plus the area had no signs of runoff during recent Winter storms. I am careful about those things 😊
Seems like your sailing along. In my pct days I started about a month later and it was blistering hot. I was miserable all thru S.caly. Lol.Water was big issue and no trail magic. Now I am content to view vicariously thru a few pct vlogs.
The wild flowers are so beautiful and the sound of that bird my goodness so awesome. Can u mention the names of the birds and flowers if you know them plz.
I'm glad things are gong well foe you. You look healthy and strong. How's the body doing? I look forward to your videos. Thank you for see all the great things in nature.
Holy moley. Gawd, I do love the desert, or as Mary Hunter Austin said the ndns called it The Land of Little Rain--she like to use the ndn names ever chance she could. Wow lots of cactus and even Cholla as well. Great photography. Sounded like a cactus wren singing. Did I get that one correct?
Haha!! I am past 200 miles now, haven’t seen any since that day. Just gotta keep your eyes and ears open. Fortunately, they don’t want to interact with us.
@@TikiBirdTracy Wow! That's pretty good because when I hike desert, even for 8 mile trip, I tend to carry between 4 to 6 liters usually because I'm hiking in 80° to 105°. Keep up the great work.
Love your journey, especially enjoying your wonderful footage of all the beautiful animals, plants, flowers, rocks etc you encounter along your way 🌎💙💚
The PCT Trail is a good example of how good humanity actually is by helping each other with kindness . So cool to witness!
Whoa 😮! That wind! 🌬. But you were still smiling! 👍.
Oh my gosh, that cloud? Couldn't stop looking at it, even when it was behind you!
Thanks for taking us along. Great videos.

Love the lenticular clouds at the first part of your video. Hike On!

Thanks Tracey. Such beautiful scenery. Love the cacti too. You are making it look easy. "It's just a walk in the park". 😁

That's awesome 😀
Haha, the world is a much smaller place than we sometimes recognize and advanced communication tech reveals how close we all are.
We are both having an adventure 💕💕💕 Enjoy your vacation!!

The desert is beautiful right now. Glad that 🐍got moving.

Beautiful. Great trip.
That wind really blows. I can see now why the fires out there spread so quickly
The coolest cloud ever!

Looking good, Looking strong ! Enjoying your videos ! The Blue Bonnets are really blooming back here in Texas. Looks like a good year for them .
Blue Bonnets in SoCal?
YERMO Adan No I’m in Texas , she said the blue bonnets were starting to bloom when she left Texas . I was commenting that it is a good year for them here in Texas. I edited my comment 😁
The desert is looking amazing this year! Beautiful shots!

I can’t imagine hiking some spots during hot days, ugh!! Nope 😅🤣

I will!! 😊💕💜

My feet are very sore, taking a zero currently to rest them. Thank you so much for following my journey .
I didn't see any rattlesnakes... there was a bush that rattled at me North of Cajon Pass, but I didn't slow down, and the snake stayed in the bush.
I sometimes wonder how many hats are lost on trail
Haha! I can imagine a few 🤣

Why did it have to be snakes.

Where are you?
That trail section is definitely a stretch without water sources. Out of curiosity, how much water are you carrying? 4 liters?
I believe so. I always carry a bit more than I need, just to be safe in case of any delays or water not there/good.
