From the AOTM website: "Campo, California is a small town located only one mile from the U.S./Mexican border, and marks the southernmost point of the Pacific Crest Trail. Clinton C. Clarke, a successful oilman and avid Boy Scout, dedicated much of his life to preserving the area now known as the Pacific Crest Trail. His initial plans began in the 1930s, and after many years of hard work and millions of dollars spent, his vision came into being. In order to form the trail, which runs from the northern border to the southern border of the United States, Washington’s Cascade Crest Trail, Oregon’s Skyline Trail, California’s John Muir Trail and the Tahoe-Yosemite Trails were linked together. Clarke’s goal was to incorporate the best scenic areas while preserving the area’s natural wilderness."
On my walk I ran into 1 deer, 1 woodpecker, lots of small birds, 2 people on horseback, and a man with his dog.
