Parting Shot: Cellist on the Pacific Crest Trail

Posted

“I was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Snoqualmie Pass to Stevens Pass solo. This fellow was on a summer break from school and spending time exploring the West Coast. We started the same day and he would walk for a few miles then stop and play. He walked almost 70 miles with that cello! He told me he was thankful for his days...all of them. He also reminded me that the true adventure lies in the journey, not the destination. And boy did he live that motto, carrying and playing the cello along the way.” Photo and caption: Audra Lee Mercille.
