We are soaking in all of the trail culture we can now before we head out cross country in a couple weeks. We shared Silver Pass with this blissed out couple who have been hiking since March 2013! These characters pop into our lives for an afternoon or a few days, and each is out here doing it their own way – men and women, young and old hiking the entire PCT alone, many people from across the country and world for the PCT or JMT, people giving up their hike to work at a resupply place, people on honeymoons, people without tents, people with chairs, curmudgeons, vagrants, people who have never been backpacking before, military vets, new college grads, trail crews, friends out for a week, and us.
