Though Strayed started her journey north in Mojave and never got to see the lights of the valley below her, most hikers begin their treks in Campo, a town in southeastern San Diego County. That Wild was made into a movie starring Reese Witherspoon as Strayed only strengthens the appeal of the PCT for determined pilgrims who set off on this 2,650-mile, American secular version of the Camino de Santiago, the increasingly popular but centuries-old pilgrimage routes through France and Spain to the shrine of the apostle St. The bloggers retracing Strayed’s journey have various intentions, but all are keen to challenge themselves, body and soul, with the hope that there will be a payoff similar to the one Strayed experienced - a healed heart and positive life changes. It’s not only the number of hikers that has increased more and more writer/hikers are blogging about their experiences on the trail.
