PCT on Film - Roll 13
Not (Oregon) Oregon
Expecting a step change in scenery whilst thru-hiking is a fool’s hope. At a walking pace, landscapes blur. The mountains dissolve into valleys that melt into planes. The change is visible only when comparing one static state to another. In reality there is no dividing line crossed, yet here we were confronted with one.
We had reached the Oregon Border. It was a continuation of the northward path we’d been following for months but it felt new.
The immersion of a thru-hike brings to light the gradation in the continuity. Each step brings change.
