Our friend and intrepid hiker Marci Kornegay arrived in South Lake Tahoe on Wednesday July 20, Day 70 and 1091 miles in on the Pacific Crest Trail. She has now completed the High Sierra of California, which involved five days with over 10,000ft elevation gain, including summiting Mount Whitney. In Marci’s own words: ’Immeasurable magical moments in the first 100+ miles of the Sierra including a Mt. Whitney summit (highest peak in lower 48 at 14,505’) and Kearsage Pass. Exploding with incredible views, challenges, and memorable moments with ridiculously cool people.’ Her closest companions on the trail are Montana native Haley and Californian Simone who have become fast friends while sharing so many special memories. The wildlife has been varied from marmots, who are regular food thieves, to deer, pika, ground squirrels and chipmunks. We caught up with Marci after she had spent the night renewing supplies so she was ready to get back on trail after recording this podcast. The next section of the PCT is known as the Desolation Wilderness round the side of Lake Tahoe, which has a heavy black bear population. The next goal is to cross the Northern California dessert and reach Oregon by August 14.
