That long red line in the photo below is the Mexican border wall as seen from my campsite tonight. It’s 8.5 trail miles away. I’ll be there tomorrow, then home for a week.
Mexico in sight

I just completed a multi-year thru hike (MYTH) of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). It took three years. I hiked 1840 miles in 2021, 733 miles in 2022, and 122 miles in 2023. The only reason I had to hike in 2023 was a wildfire closure at the north end of the PCT in 2022. During the past two years, I've also thru hiked other, shorter US trails. I hiked the Benton MacKaye Trail (GA, NC, TN) and the Tuscarora Trail (VA, WV, MD, PA) in 2022 plus the Ozark Highlands Trail (AR) in 2023. I hope to hike the Long Trail (VT) next year and the Colorado Trail at some point in the future. Please note, all content on this site is copyright. View all posts by Andrew Carter

Not sure what you mean by the torch comment. To burn it down? It’s made of metal.
