Pacific Crest Trail , Then and Now

Just a look back at the Pacific Crest Trail over the years. I did get a chance to hike the PCT in it's ( and my) early years ( 1977) and these are just a few photos of the trail and people who have hiked some or part of the PCT or who are " Involved" with the PCT. Most my photos in my " Vintage gallery were shot with an old Ricoh SLR with a straight 50mm lens and Kodak 64 slide film. ( which was a hiker standard in the day) Enjoy !!! Mad Monte

Is there anyone out there that is a "graduate" of 1978? Andy the Ornithologist? Jim Osteroot? Remember the great dinner at the Italian Restaurant south of Ashland? And Lunch the next day courtesy of Barry's Folks from Yuba City?

What an awesome documentary of your times hiking. I would love to live in your part of the country with all the mountains. This gallery is now one of my favorites, very well put together. You sure have met some fun people along the trail.
Lee G12-Sep-2008 17:19
Still one of my favorite galleries to snoop around!
:o)

Awesome gallery Monte - looks like you had some great experiences and captured some great memories.
Brian Klimowski02-Jun-2007 05:25
What great memories you've brought back for me! While I've only done about 400 miles of the PCT through the Sierras, it makes me want to return for it all :)

I always enjoy looking at your photos from the '70's Monte. Maybe because they hit so close to home, I'm guessing we're close to the same age.

Stunning photos! Reminds me that I spend way too much time under fluorescent lighting.
Kat31-Oct-2006 22:47
A great gallery, and so many memories. Thank you for sharing!

Your Pacific Crest Trail gallery is a treasure trove of memomories for the old and young hikers, for those that hiked it 40 years ago, or this year; the PCT is the grandest of all American long trails and this gallery is a grand tribute to it. V!

If anyone runs into an older couple, (can't remember their names, I think her name was skunky? or something?) on the PCT in April of 2006 that got a ride to Julian in a red dodge truck from some guys from Texas We would sure like to know how they are doing. Anyone can emailme at svnd6shvl@aol.com.
Guest 06-May-2006 13:38
Hi Monte, I really enjoyed looking at those pictures! My next trip to California will definetely include this Pacific Crest Trail. Looks like you had always a wonderful time! Thank you!

Monte,
I guess I will show my age and tell you how exciting it was to see equipment that I used in the White Mts. of New Hampshire in the early 70s. Great pictures. I am envious of your earlier PCT hiking as I am just now planning a '07 PCT thru hike.
Thanks again,

It doesn't matter when the pictures were taken, the experience is still life changing!
Guest 03-Mar-2006 16:06
Monte, where are the stoves ??
Jeff Singewald 02-Mar-2006 15:28
Monte,
Thanks for sharing a bit of PCT history. The 1977 pics are incredible. Reminds me of my early trips through the Marbles and Trinity Alps. These pics don't make it any easier though as the excitement grows towards my April 22nd departure for my 06 thru attempt.

thanks. great job of archiving the early days of thru-hiking. your packs were HUGE!
Bob Reynolds02-Feb-2006 02:07
Awesome photos Monte! Terrific visual journal of your hike and a great accomplishment in completing the entire trail. I've been on quite a few sections of the PCH in CA and have often wondered what it would be like to do the whole thing. Thanks for sharing your experiences on the trail...I really enjoyed the gallery.

Great photos Monte. Always cool to see the old pictures of the PCT.

Very interesting gallery. Treking and outdoor life is my world, too. And now you've taken me around in your area.
