That was nothing. Look up the video: San Francisco woman injured by police during jaywalking arrest | KTVU. The title says it all. It's not even legal for cops to stop people for jaywalking in California, but they do it anyway. The cops just to what ever they want.
FWIW....Hwy 58 through Tehachapi is a MAJOR trucking route and I'm gonna bet that CHP officer has probably responded to fatalities from people crossing the highway in the wrong spot. A warning would have been sufficient. Not like he was doing it again anytime soon.
Just how much worse is it really in China or Russia? Sometimes I wonder. Such a gut punch to anyone who fought or died for freedom. These cops that do this should get yelled at, but they live in delusion because people are too afraid.
I know you are disappointed about not maintaining a continuous footpath but with the number of fires this year I am amazed by how little you have had to skip around. Be safe RR, love the videos!
I find the interpersonal dynamics on the trail to be very fascinating. One can go days without much human interaction and then in a matter of minutes meet a group of people that almost instantly become friends.
Ah, I'm happy to see you made it through before the complete closure. Your timing was excellent and the early mileage through the first couple of Washington days helped.
I look forward to your daily videos every morning while I drink my coffee. You’re awesome, Roadrunner! P.S. I thought Potter was Boujee for a split second! Safe travels!
As of January 1, 2023, jaywalking is not a criminal offense in California, according to the Freedom to Walk Act, also known as AB 2147. The law allows pedestrians to cross the street at non-intersection and non-crosswalk locations if it's safe to do so. However, police can still stop and cite pedestrians if they are creating a hazard,
Goat Rocks are like Franconia ridge on the AT??? Who the heck told you that? 🤣 Franconia does not even tickle anything on the PCT, let alone the Goat Rocks. Nothing on the AT compares as a matter of fact. The fire seems substantial. Too bad. It's a beautiful area of WA. But you'll get your chance to enjoy the Goat Rocks. It seems that Glacier peak wilderness up ahead is also closed as well as Stehiken area. WA is just really suffering from wildfires. And to your question, the fires are caused by thunder storms. WA is green for a reason, it gets a lot more weather than OR and NoCal. So, summer thunderstorms are a thing. It's also drier than usual.
Thankyou for your update. Glad you're amongst fellow hikers to share the events regarding the fires ect. Love meeting others on your path too. Great job RR. 😊😊
Nice video. 100 years ago, the Swedes were having a lot of food shortages. My mother's parents left Sweden and came to the NYC area where there was a Swedish community. I imagine that the Finns were having the same problems. Where I live now, in NE Connecticut there used to be a large Finnish community. We still have an acive Finnish/American Society Hall in my small town. Seeing flags for most countries is common. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick
Morning, Juliane. Glad you were able to work it out so you only missed 22 or so miles. That's a blessing. Boy, that fire did blow up in a hurry. Is Somewhere ahead of you or behind? Am just wondering if she made it through. At least you were able to get your burger at Trout Lake. And you now have new friends, too. So another blessing. With you and fires, I'm gonna have to pray more for your safety. The trail you hiked was beautiful. Take care, Juliane. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Continuous footpath is so much a matter of luck on when and where the fire closures are and what walk arounds can be found. You just got to the fire areas at the height of fire season. But if you start earlier the Sierra is impassable due to snow, start later and fires are worse plus heat in desert is terrible. One of them things out of your control you just have to accept. Happens to almost every PCT hiker last few years both NOBO and SOBO. You have almost an obsession about it but it is getting better.
So happy for you that it was 22 instead of 66. Also, I follow Rach and Dan and their video for yesterday was Goat Rocks. It is so thrilling and gorgeous! I can’t wait to see your footage! I know that, because of the lag, that, if you were able, you’ve already hiked it. I guess I’ll know tomorrow or the next day. Nice to see you’ve met some interesting hikers!
The cops don't care about laws. They do what ever they like. Look up the video San Francisco woman injured by police during jaywalking arrest | KTVU. The title says it all.
For the last few videos whenever you mentioned your package at Trout Lake it made me nervous because I was wondering if you were going to make it before it was evacuated. I assume you picked up your package. Sorry you missed that section the views of Mt Adams are epic but you still have Goat Rocks!
Wow! That J-walking story seems a bit petty to me. I'm very pro Law Enforcement. In fact, I'm a Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor and the officers that I know would not have been that petty. That officer must have been having a bad shift to be that petty to hand out a ticket. Sad, but I guess it happens. :( Lots of hikers at camp. Funny how you've traveled so far and you're just now seeing or meeting them, but I guess that's the trail. Safe travels and happy trails!
Perhaps you have already tried this, but in case you haven't: I assume your peak finder is an app. If so, perhaps, the next chance you get, uninstall it and reinstall it and that might get it working again. I love your hiking videos-- your musings as well as the video footage. Thanks for sharing your journey.
8:00 Jaywalking has become legal in California since 2023. Bubblehead should not get a ticket. Hope he'll appeal. For us motorists, the Freedom to Walk Act is a terrible law. I've had several close calls myself when people just cross the street without paying attention to the traffic.
Are you kidding me??? Shame on California HP for giving that hiker a jaywalking ticket! Yay, for getting the last ride out to Potato Hill! Take care and stay safe. Happy trails! 🥾 🥾
Maybe show on a map all the places where your continuous footpath got broken. I’ve lost track of how many times you’ve had to deviate due to weather, fires, etc.
Your pondering regarding why a fire gets started in green Washington is an excellent question. Research d##e####w. It's OK to delete this comment. Research what's gone on in several states and western Canada.
That story about the PCT hiker getting a ticket for jaywalking is INSANE!
Dude, I know! What a typical, piece of shit experience in Commiefornia! I would've flipped off the cop lol.
Yes, Typical California politics...

bubblehead sighting almost better than bigfoot. I had assumed he had wrapped it up already
lightening strikes are what causes the fires. they can actually smolder underground for longer than you can even imagine. be safe out there!
To finish a continuous foot path on the PCT takes luck, timing and the perfect year😎
You walk alone, but you are never alone…
Be safe out there RR! 🙏🏻
I find the interpersonal dynamics on the trail to be very fascinating. One can go days without much human interaction and then in a matter of minutes meet a group of people that almost instantly become friends.
You’re on fire girl….😂. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️
Been watching bubblehead for months. He’s great. I’m glad you caught him.
Ah, I'm happy to see you made it through before the complete closure. Your timing was excellent and the early mileage through the first couple of Washington days helped.
Wow ! 🔥 fires! I'm glad you missed 22 miles , instead of 66 miles! I hope you make it to 🐐 Goats Rock! Its beautiful !😮
I look forward to your daily videos every morning while I drink my coffee. You’re awesome, Roadrunner! P.S. I thought Potter was Boujee for a split second! Safe travels!
Cispus Basin, Goat Rocks ( Gilbert and Old Snowy) and Knifes Edge…awesome😅

I like that little bug tent.
I do so hope you get to goat rocks, watching some hikers just ahead of the fire and the area is fabulous . Keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞
HikingFireDancer, LETS GO!
You pass so. many blueberry and raspberry bushes, it’s surprising you don’t stop and pick some for a nutritious snack.
Wishing you the best of luck skirting the fires.
At first, I thought Potter was Boujee.

You can totally go back and hike those missing areas to make the continuous footpath. Dixie did that later too. And you can be safe from the fires!

I grew up in Andover CT. We had a mixture of folks too.

How have you not encountered any cougars or bears? Do you ever get scared hiking by yourself, especially early in the morning?
With the right apps like Gaia and Avenza you can determine alternate continuous footpath. Washington has more trail/dirt road options than Oregon.
You gotta stop light’en up that trail! You’re causing too many fires. 🔥
Fire here, fire there
Fire, fire everywhere….so sad
They changed the jaywalking law. as long as you do not interfere with traffic you can cross. When did that happen?
The cops don't care about laws. They do what ever they like. Look up the video San Francisco woman injured by police during jaywalking arrest | KTVU. The title says it all.

Okay I am sorry but that cop should have given him a warning. Really?! All the creeps in California and you are pursing A PCT HIKER?!!!
I 100 percent agree! They should have just given a warning. There are so many other serious matters that the cops should be attending to.
8:00 Jaywalking has become legal in California since 2023. Bubblehead should not get a ticket. Hope he'll appeal.
For us motorists, the Freedom to Walk Act is a terrible law. I've had several close calls myself when people just cross the street without paying attention to the traffic.
The Freedom to Walk Act? This is a Calif thing?
@@erikwresch5432 Yup!
Are you kidding me??? Shame on California HP for giving that hiker a jaywalking ticket! Yay, for getting the last ride out to Potato Hill! Take care and stay safe. Happy trails! 🥾 🥾
I thought Potter was Boujee at first!!
I know. I thought the same when I first saw him
Where are you hiking next?
Becareful fire spread quick
And just like that, you are back in a bubble!
what your total miles now ???????? ..my gorgeous lady great video
If only you pushed the miles a bit at the beginning of your hike 😂
Maybe show on a map all the places where your continuous footpath got broken. I’ve lost track of how many times you’ve had to deviate due to weather, fires, etc.
HI , how you doin . Add a comment
Looks like aLotta pyros in the woods in Portland !

You are nowhere near Mount Adams
The mountain that is behind the fire is Mt Adams. She skipped just north of Mt Adams to Potato Hill.
The PCT runs right along the left side of Mt Adam's 😂. It is closed from the Williams mine fire. from just before mt adams till just after mt adams.
You see Mt Adams multiple times in this video 🤣
