James StoutGUEST
Be safe, but...
James StoutGUEST
I don't know, every year I hike backwards on the Pacific Crest Trail.
James StoutGUEST
So if you're familiar, Pacific Crest Trail goes from Mexico to Canada or Canada to Mexico.
James StoutGUEST
It doesn't go all the way to Mexico now because it's a fucking wall there.
James StoutGUEST
But I see people setting out on this months-long trek, right? And it's just really interesting to see, like, everyone who bought the, like, top 10 list of stuff.
Steve StocktonHOST
His abilities meant that he was not like your normal 12-year-old boy, and his parents knew that.
Steve StocktonHOST
Minutes after the Millers had discovered that Kenny was missing, Bob was seen running through the Pacific Crest Trail, asking anyone if they had seen his son while also keeping an eye out for his beloved Kenny.
Steve StocktonHOST
People listened to Bob as he explained his situation and offered to lend a helping hand.
Steve StocktonHOST
As darkness fell, Bob, Sharon, and volunteers kept looking for Kenny, and by the next morning, even more volunteers had poured onto the Pacific Crest Trail to look for the little boy.
Steve StocktonHOST
Sharon later told the LA Times.
Steve StocktonHOST
When that busload arrived, I can't tell you how that made us feel.
Steve StocktonHOST
People I didn't even know had come up to search for my son.
Steve StocktonHOST
We were very, very overwhelmed.
Dean KarnazesGUEST
There's a lot of trail networks that are opening in Greece, kind of similar to here.
Dean KarnazesGUEST
We have the Pacific Crest Trail that starts at the border of Canada and Washington and finishes at the border of ...
Dean KarnazesGUEST
I don't know if you know about this trail.
Dean KarnazesGUEST
I do not, no.
Dean KarnazesGUEST
It finished at the border of Mexico and California.
Dean KarnazesGUEST
Wow.
Dean KarnazesGUEST
It's the Pacific Crest Trail.
Dean KarnazesGUEST
It goes all down the spine of the Sierra Nevada.
Josh SelfHOST
Of the three main trails you've done, what would you say was the hardest or gnarliest situation that you found yourself in at any point?
Monica AguilarGUEST
I think for my skill level at the time, when I did the Pacific Crest Trail, when we were going southbound, we started June 16th, which is like two weeks too early.
Monica AguilarGUEST
And I had never really used an ice axe before.
Monica AguilarGUEST
And I traveled out west, but I had never really done that much like hiking and travel that much.
Katie JacksonHOST
[laughs] On the PCT by Nick Fowler.
Katie JacksonHOST
The fastest PCT hike in history was set by Nick Fowler, a 45-day thru-hike, southbound unsupported on the Pacific Crest Trail, which is insane.
JessHOST
Insane.
Katie JacksonHOST
Crazy feat.
JessHOST
Right.
JessHOST
Exactly.
JessHOST
And it's funny, too, because, like, a story of this caliber, I mean, our Instagram post on Pacific Crest Trail shared with the trek.co had so, like, 7,500 likes, like, thousands of shares.
JessHOST
You know, on Facebook alone it has something like 15,000 likes, the reach is 800 shares.
Sophia WhiteHOST
She has ran a marathon.
Sophia WhiteHOST
She's walked a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail.
Sophia WhiteHOST
And we are going to get into a deep and broad conversation around how movement has impacted her life.
Sophia WhiteHOST
and what movement she's currently mostly doing, which I don't think any of you will guess.
6 MINS LATER
Sophia WhiteHOST
Okay, I will, I will.
Sophia WhiteHOST
So other than this, a fun fact or a guilty pleasure?
Rosie MurphyGUEST
Well, I mean, it's related to this perfectly, but normally my fun fact in these instances is the fact that one time I did hike a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail in America.
Rosie MurphyGUEST
And when you're just going through day-to-day life, if you just meet me, it's easy to not know.
Dan SiegelGUEST
And you can have that experience being out in nature.
Dan SiegelGUEST
My daughter is hiking the Pacific Crest Trail right now.
Dan SiegelGUEST
And, you know, she's having, I would imagine, this broadening of who she is because she's out in nature, far, far from civilization.
Dan SiegelGUEST
You know, and she is nature, you know, and I've had that experience being in nature myself.
Bradford BartelsGUEST
If there was anyone with a trip report, I'd try to contact them, hit them up on social media.
Bradford BartelsGUEST
Um, and like, Hey, was that, area really shitty and you know there was like a PCT hiker that I talked to that now lives in Alaska who did some investigating reaching out to a lot of people but yeah logistically it's a lot of small town gas stations but also it still has it's like regular old grocery stores Alaska's still a little part of the United States there's regular grocery stores and yeah it's still a through hike
DocHOST
And is there a website for the trail? Is there an organization that takes care of it or promotes it? I mean, how did you have to rely solely on kind of folks on, I don't know, social media or in your networks that you knew were out there to get the lowdown on it? Or is there some established organization out there?
Bradford BartelsGUEST
No, no, the majority of the stuff I got, the navigation data I got was from Alaska Trails, the nonprofit responsible for this project.
Bradford BartelsGUEST
But that's going to take a lot of work.
Bradford BartelsGUEST
So I don't want people thinking it's done and perfect and there's this giant entity taking care of the trail.
Bradford BartelsGUEST
The PCT does not exist in Alaska all of a sudden.
Bradford BartelsGUEST
But there is an entity responsible for it.
Steve StocktonHOST
12-year-old Jared Negrete was on his first backpacking trip with his Boy Scout troop when they were summoning Mount San Gregorio in the San Bernardino National Forest.
Steve StocktonHOST
Coincidentally, San Bernardino National Forest is the start of the Pacific Coast Trail on the west coast, sort of the opposite side of the country version of the Appalachian Trail, but quite a bit shorter than the AT.
Steve StocktonHOST
A search for Jared turned up a camera with a haunting last picture of the 12-year-old.
Steve StocktonHOST
They also found a few candy wrappers.
DixieHOST
Um, I- You know, I, I wanted to do the Appalachian Trail, and I did it.
DixieHOST
I wanted to do the Pacific Crest Trail.
DixieHOST
I did it.
DixieHOST
I did the Continental Divide Trail, and then it's like, and now what? You know, and now, and now what?
