Cammie Basseri asked Cheryl Strayed:

Were you disappointed when you had to hike off the PCT due to seasonal impacts and missed coming through Yosemite? I grew up in YNP and am a huge fan of Wild; I felt I could really visualize your steps along the way. Thanks for all your words!

Cheryl Strayed Hi Cammie,

I was heartbroken! But of course on any journey there are disappointments and detours. I got to hike all of Oregon because I had to miss the high Sierra section of the trail. Yosemite is beautiful! You are so lucky to have grown up there.

Best,

Cheryl
