“This is simple living, nothing fancy needed, just a place to sleep and all else seems to fall into place somehow. There’s nothing to control or judge, and honestly, it feels that out here is the only place we can truly be ourselves: unhinged, real and simply human. If there’s something to show our children, it’s these places, even if we’re visiting for a short while, because nature is our home, the one we came from and will inevitably return to.”
—Marketa Daley, excerpted from “A Family of Five on the PCT”
