I'm so happy for you! But sad for me 😭😭 This has been one of the best vicarious experiences I've had on RU-vid. Thanks Mari 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

@mari.johnson 4 года назад

It’s bittersweet for me too 😭 Thanks for coming along on the adventure with me! ❤️

@farmgirl030 4 года назад

Same. It's been one of the best hiking vlog/series on RU-vid. I loved every video and Mari has been so honest and real with good and bad days. Loved it. Sad it's over but so glad we were able to come along remotely with you.

@nicolescott89 4 года назад

Woooow. What a journey. I said a little prayer for the hiker who passed away due to the tree accident. He was there in spirit with you. Congrats to you, Nick and all the other hikers. Wooohoooo well done Mari! Xx

@markscott4059 4 года назад

Mari thank you so much for sharing your life and adventure. You did an amazing job! Love hearing from you every Sunday! Going to miss our Sunday’s....

@markandersson 4 года назад

I've loved these episodes so much. Thanks for doing them! What's kind of amazing to me is that, date wise, the Sierras are half way. In miles they're a bit more than a third. Not sure why I find that interesting, but I do!

@thinkinoutloud.1 4 года назад

Very nice job Mari. You must feel like you could take on and conquer just about anything now. You are tough as nails. You trudged through hell and high water while still making it look like it wasn't so hard. But it was. At the end you were just as fresh and pretty as when you started, lol. But I'm so happy you and Nick accomplished this journey. It was a pleasure to watch. 🎊🎉🎈💪👍

@patchouleigh_ 4 года назад

Wow ! What an accomplishment, Nick and Mari! Thanks for taking us along for the ride !Cried tears of joy at the finish line. Much love !!! 🙂💛

@jmpmusva 4 года назад

Nice job with the entire editing. Always impressed with the music and the vibe. Seemed to be a good call, waiting to edit. Something to be proud of for sure. Sundays will be a touch less wonderful for some of us watching. To think, this year we will have nothing. So sorry for those who didn't finish this year. Long time since eagle rock and dinosaur land!

@mari.johnson 4 года назад

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah it’s really so sad about this year. That feel like ages ago!

Mari-Thanks so much for sharing your journey-I hope those of us in Class of 2020 who stayed home to protect the PCT, trail towns, trail angels and backpacking culture, will find the PCT as wonderful as your series. 💕🌿

@mari.johnson 4 года назад

I hope so too! The trail will be better than ever when it’s opened back up!

@extremelydave 4 года назад

Much joy and sadness.... joy at seeing you one last time, sad that we see you on the PCT one more time. The snow may have been a pain, but WOW what beauty and the view in the morning of the red sun on the mountains.... EPIC!! Thanks for sharing your trip Mari, it has been a real pleasure getting to know you. Be safe, keep trekking!!!!

@mari.johnson 4 года назад

@isaacjames9710 4 года назад

Congratulations! You two accomplished something truly fantastic. I’ve lived in WA my entire life and it’s SO beautiful here. When I started watching this series at episode one, I was really looking forward to seeing you guys trek through this beautiful state. California was warm and sunny; your spirits were high. Oregon was spectacular; you were eager and motivated to push on. Then you crossed over the Columbia.....right into a cluster-f*ck of dumpster fires. Slimy drizzle, dense fog, ice water rain, freezing temperatures and a record breaking snow fall. That must have been SUCH a bummer! With the exception of Nicks birthday and the very last day itself, the weather was a total shit-show. I’m so sorry you guys had to endure such a draining experience right at the end and also in truly one of the most beautiful states in the lower 48. Regardless, you guys trekked on and killed it! Congratulations again!!

@antoniabaker7770 4 года назад

@johnmca5643 4 года назад

That was incredibly touching to watch. Your feelings came through your camera to us. I've yo-yo'd that final section from Rainy Pass twice.....beautiful section. It's my favorite section in Washington. Yes I live here. 😃 Thanks for sharing your hike and bringing us along. You're fortunate on the snow level. We typically stay off the trail after mid-September.

@najlaha.6091 3 года назад

Great job you two, so thrilled you got to finish in epic style (snow). Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us all and for all of the effort you've put in to your videos, they always seem quite professional. All the very best to you both for your future.

So sad this series has ended! I may have to go back to the beginning and watch it all over again.

@JabeenWaheed 4 года назад

Wow, wow, wow! I have loved watching your journey Mari - & these delayed vids worked out for the best as, for me personally, it filled the void of the class of 2020! Legit shed a tear when you got to the monument - hope all your memories are wonderful! xx

@bobkuhn861 4 года назад

What an Awesome hike and Amazing video!! I'm so excited for you guys!!😊💖🐶🐶

@chevkoch 4 года назад

Thank you for sharing your PCT journey. The way you candidly mentioned the ups and downs of the day-by-day, I found that very relatable. Although I was watching these videos now in one go after the whole series was already up (and knew you were successful), I found myself rooting for you and Nick to be able to finish the hike. The early arrival of winter at the end of the path is where I could feel the exhaustion and slight dread of one last unsure step before you'd be done. Congratulations and much respect for completing the PCT. Through your videos I've got an idea of what to expect on a long hike like that, and see myself inspired to find a trail I'd like to start on myself. One of the best series of vlogs I've watched on YT for sure.

@dean0233 3 года назад

Just came across your channel the other day and just finished binge walking all your pct videos now. Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration that your videos are giving others to go after your dreams and live life to the fullest!

@GautamDewan 4 года назад

Congratulations, Mari & Nick! I randomly discovered your channel when I was travelling to NYC for a business trip and wanted to know how to use the subway system. This was a few years ago. I followed your travels around Asia and New Zealand. I eagerly watched every episode of this epic journey. You did a very good job with this series. I really got a good feel for what through hiking is like. Great music too! All the best for your future adventures.

@mari.johnson 4 года назад

@filibusterfirework74 4 года назад

Hey Mari :) I have been following along since your solo traveling days, and I was even in Washington when you were finishing the trail hearing about the snow. Obviously I had seen from your instagram that you made it, but it is so incredibly amazing to finally get to see your vlogs from it. Your editing style and overall filming has only gotten better over the years, and I always look forward to your videos. I am currently stuck in New York so I have been watching over the past several weeks, and it has been such a lovely escape to be able to see the outdoors. It has been tough not going outside, since I was born in Seattle, but your videos have really given me a respite that I am so thankful for. Congratulations on completing both the PCT AND these vlogs because I imagine it feels like a long time coming on these :)

@mari.johnson 4 года назад

Hi! Nice to hear from you! Thank you for the nice words and thanks for sticking around that long! Glad that I could bring some of the west coast outdoors to you. Hope you’re staying well! ❤️

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Congratulations! 🥂 Thx a lot for sharing your epic journey with us. It made me feel that a part of me was out there as well. And it felt very good 😁 Actually I did a few miles on the PCT during my roadtrip last year. See you on the next trip 👍

@kellyjohnson3617 4 года назад

Oh that looks so gloriously beautiful and bitingly wicked cold on the feet and fingers. And nose. It’s amazing how when you are hiking in that weather that you can be sweating but those toes and fingers can just be popsicles. Lol. But it makes the stove worth the weight when you can have a hot meal and hot beverage. What a way to end the trail with a bang! Thanks for going back and sharing your journey. I’ve loved watching the outdoors from the inside of my house. I can’t wait til I can get out on trail again.

@meganjones292 4 года назад

@VanMaiTai 4 года назад

Enjoyed watching you and Nick go through this journey together with so many of the friends you've made along the way. As surreal as it was for you all to finish this, I felt some of that as well watching you all approach the northern terminus. It's bitter sweet. Proud that you all completed the trek but sad that it's over. I know it's been months since you and Nick have completed this but I'm sure the feelings come back when you guys can watch these videos. Especially in these times when there is no through hiking at all here in California. Cheers to an amazing journey and I can't wait to see the next one when the era of coronavirus is over.
