Kelly Wessling carried a 40 pound backpack through mountains
forests and deserts on the Pacific Crest Trail
Most of the trails were well-maintained on the Pacific Crest Trail
Kelly Wessling celebrates atop the monument at the end of the Pacific Crest Trail in Canada Provided
It takes a special person to apply for a permit to hike a 2,650-mile trail through deserts
forests and mountains with a 40-pound pack on their back
Kelly Wessling is one of those special people
took on the challenge of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) which begins at Campo
on the U.S./Mexico border and ends at the U.S./Canada border
She noted that the Pacific Crest Trail is not to be mixed up with the Pacific Coast Trail
“It’s the crest because you are not hiking along the coast
you’re zigzagging up and down the mountain ranges throughout California
It’s a lot of elevation to go through and it’s not one straight line
You’re going up and down through all these valleys and mountain passes as it takes you to Canada,” Wessing said
considered the “golden date” to begin the hike
there were several things that needed to be done
This is required for anyone who plans to hike 500 or more continuous miles
and it gives hikers access to national and state parks
There are only two days each year when people can apply for a permit
and only a limited number of permits are issued
“They issue 50 permits per day for the months of March
April and May for hikers going north from Mexico to Canada,” Wessling said
“And only 35 permits per day for the months of June and July for those going south from Canada to Mexico.”
The reason for this is that not as many people hike the PCT going southbound because the trek through Washington is the toughest climbing through harsh terrain
Whereas those who begin on the U.S./Mexico border are acclimated for the rugged terrain by the time they get there
“Snow at higher elevations is a factor in what time of year you start the trail,” Wessling said
“When you start from Mexico the higher mountains are in the middle to southern part of California where the Sierra Nevadas are
April and May are the three months you can start because of the seasonal risks and dangers associated with the snow and weather
You have to carry spikes for some of that part through the Sierra Nevadas
and if it is a snowy time you have to carry an ice axe in case you fall
Thank goodness I didn’t have to save myself!”
Wessling did not receive a permit the first time she applied
so she had to wait another year to apply again
She laughed as she recalled that she was in Disney World when she found out
But the following year she felt like she had won the lottery when she was notified she had been granted a permit
While she said she did not train as much as she should have to prepare for the journey ahead of her
Wessling did take a two-to-three-month endurance training class beforehand
and thankfully I didn’t have any injuries,” she said
Because her cousin had hiked the Appalachian Trail and stressed not going beyond her limits or it might end her hike
Wessling started her hike slowly so she wouldn’t stress her body out
“You just go at your own pace and build the muscle as you go,” she explained
“I started small with 18 miles per day for the first couple of weeks
and gradually increased to over 30 miles per day by the end of the trail.”
which Wessling had pictured to be smooth sailing
but she quickly discovered that there were a lot of mountains there
And while the trails were well maintained and easy to follow
other elements made hiking through the desert difficult
and carrying enough water when there’s not a water supply,” she said
there were people who would leave caches of water in jugs along the trail when there weren’t natural water sources
“That was nice and we [hikers] were super thankful to the locals who helped us out,” Wessling said
which would have added a lot of weight to our packs.”
And added weight makes hiking more difficult
“You keep your supplies so minimal,” Wessling explained
The basics when she started out included hiking poles
“You lose a lot of weight on the trail because you are burning so many calories
so you eat 5,000 calories a day,” she said
“And since vegetables and healthy foods don’t have enough calories
I ate a lot of calorie-dense foods like protein bars
“It was nice to be able to eat as much as I wanted without the guilt
but it was hard when the hike ended because my metabolism was so high and I was always hungry
I wanted to eat all the things I couldn’t get on the trail
but I had to remind myself that I wasn’t burning that many calories anymore
For the first couple of months on the trail
she tried to get by without a camp stove and cooking pot
but once she got tired of eating cold food
She was able to lighten her pack by shipping her spikes and bear can home once she got past the areas where she needed them
Wessling said she began her hike alone but gathered what they call a “trail family” as she went
a girl from Pennsylvania and a guy from Germany
but I hiked alone off and on for about a month and a half,” she recalled
But we’d catch up later because it’s better to be with people
You can have really tough days and the monotony and the pain get to you
and then it’s nice to just laugh with people when you’re eating dinner or to have someone to spend time with when you’re in town or getting chores done
And it’s best to be with people when you’re crossing rivers.”
a navigational guide used by many hikers on the trail
It showed where tent sites were located and how many tents they could accommodate
what the elevation gains and drops were going to be so hikers knew how tough the day was going to be and what their expectations should be
There were small towns about every four to seven days along the trail where hikers could replenish their supplies
do laundry and occasionally sleep in a hotel where they could take a shower
“Hygiene was not a priority on the trail because we were all covered in filth anyway so we just stopped caring,” Wessling said
“We stunk all the time and just learned to live with it.”
They washed their feet in the streams and considered it a treat to jump into a river or lake to wash off in their undergarments
And they looked forward to a much-needed shower now and then
“It gets spendy to stay in hotels plus get all that food,” she said
“So we’d try to save money by sleeping in off-grid places when we were in town sometimes
The locals called them “hiker trash,” she recalled with a laugh
Another group that was very accommodating along the trail were who she called the “Trail Angels.”
“They are people from the towns along the trail who have a big heart for the hikers,” she said
“They will take you in and let you stay with them to recover if you get injured
or they’ll help you get a ride to a hospital
“There was also an incredible woman who is a physical therapist
She lived in her van with her Golden Retriever
and she would just follow the bubble in her van all along the trail
and you knew when you saw her red van that she would know exactly what to do with injuries or give strategies to help with things
“I never had to see her but my friend had shin splints
and this lady taught her stretches and gave her a different brace to use that was really helpful
And it’s just a freewill donation for her services.”
Wessling said she only had a couple close calls with injuries
The first was while hiking in the Sierra Nevada mountains
“You get fatigued when you’re not eating enough or on long days
and sometimes my ankles would give out,” she recalled
“I was up in the Sierras and it was right after climbing Mt
I had the bear can and extra stuff in my pack and it was rugged up there
I was falling pretty far and I could see this sharp rock coming right at my head
but thank God my bear can shifted and took the hit and saved me.”
The second was when crossing a stream she shouldn’t have been crossing alone
but I held my breath a bit for that one!” she said with a laugh
She also had some scary encounters with wildlife on the trail
“I saw a lot of rattlesnakes and had some close calls with them,” she said
“There were times when I was hiking along listening to music and I’d go around a corner and a rattlesnake would be laying in the middle of the trail
“And once when I was night hiking there were these glowing eyes staring at me and then it jumped under a bush and kept watching me
I think it was a mountain lion and I was scared because I was hiking alone
She never saw a bear until she got to Oregon
and they were black bears that didn’t seem to mind the hikers
she carried a Garmin GPS with an emergency signal
It would show Search and Rescue exactly where to find her if necessary
It also showed her family where she was and allowed her to send automated messages to let them know that she was okay
Due to wildfires that closed a section of the PCT
She returned to finish it after she reached Canada
but more fires kept her from being able to complete the entire PCT
Wessling met a lot of other amazing people on the trail and learned that everyone has a different motivation for being there
Some were hiking for a cause or to honor someone
Some were doing things which made the hike harder for them as a sacrifice to a cause
Her motivation came from knowing that others had completed this hike and admiring them for accomplishing something that she felt she could never do
“It got me thinking that I could do it too
and wondering what was stopping me,” she recalled
“I love to be outdoors – that’s what brings me peace
And I have this urge to see as much of the outdoors as I can
the worst part of the experience was eating the same junk food every single day
“When you’re eating four or five protein bars every single day for five months it gets to you,” she said
“I can’t look at them and tuna packets the same anymore
I cried eating a packet of tuna one day on the trail because you get to a point where you have to force-feed yourself.”
The best part of the experiences was “completing something I never imagined I could do myself,” she said
Would she recommend doing the Pacific Crest Trail
and the kindness of the Trail Angels is outstanding
“It’s eye-opening to see how common everybody is
You stop comparing your life to others because we were all in the same grimy clothes
and you don’t know what kind of car they drive or what their job is
We were all just on the same mission and we were all the same out there
Wessling summed her experience up with these thoughts:
no looking forward beyond the next 4-7 days
the impostor syndrome that many of us carried at the start of the hike quickly fell off of us and we kind of buried it behind
What is something at one point that you never imagined that you could do
And what do you think you would feel in the moment that you confirm you are strong enough
It’s a beautiful accomplishment knowing what your body and mind truly can do if you put your drive into it.”
Wessling will give a presentation “Born to Wander” about her hike at 6:30 p.m

Lindsey Wessling, a sophomore studying Outdoor Recreation
recently had the thrill of a lifetime as a contestant on the iconic television game show
viewers across the nation tuned in to witness Wessling's exciting appearance on the beloved show
Wessling's dream of being selected to "Come on down!" became a reality
showcasing the unique and diverse talents of SUU students
"I've been watching The Price Is Right since I was a little kid
and being a contestant is something I've always dreamed of,” said Wessling
and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to represent SUU."
With over 120 audience members for the producers to choose from
being selected as a contestant takes much more than luck
“When you get to the studio in Los Angeles there is a lot of waiting around
then you wait in a holding room before every contestant is interviewed by the casting producers,” Wessling said
“The producers watch the audience the entire time and take notes on their behavior and how they interact with others
I knew that I had to be my most outgoing and fun self
so I tried to introduce myself to as many people as possible and be a friendly face.”
it is the interview that helps producers select who they want to “Come on down!”
“I knew the interview was my moment to stand out
“So before I left Cedar City I wrote an essay titled “Why I Would be the Perfect Contestant on The Price Is Right.” Then I printed it out and brought it with me
When it was my turn to talk during the group interview
I pulled the essay out of my shirt and proudly handed it to the producers
I don’t think anyone had ever done that before so they were impressed and it was memorable
I think my interview played a large role in getting selected as a contestant!”
While Wessling didn’t win big on The Price Is Right
the SUU community congratulates her on the unforgettable experience and wishes her continued success in her studies and future endeavors
As the university continues to foster an environment that encourages students to pursue their dreams
Wessing's appearance on The Price Is Right serves as a testament to the limitless possibilities available to SUU students
Their looks and personalities are as varied as the names humans give them
“I've got Marco. I've got Polo, Jet and Quinn. I’ve had several Sassys, Midnights and Oreos,” said Jayma Wessling, one of the founders of Front Range Freedom Rescue
Wessling says she has been bringing stray cats home since she was a little girl
so it just made sense to start a cat-focused rescue with some friends she met at another organization
they’ve rescued nearly 4,000 cats from Colorado
They have also recruited about 40 families to help foster the cats until they are ready to go to their forever homes
“I foster because it's great for our family's mental health,” said foster mom Jen Iversen
“It's kind of hard to be mad when you come home and you sit on the floor and start playing with kittens.”
While herding thousands of cats has been a group effort
everyone involved says when it comes to pure dedication to the cause
Wessling is the one who goes the extra mile more often than not
Jayma is definitely the heart of the organization,” said fellow FRFR founder Carol Kuzdek
“Jayma will be the first one to drive to Pueblo
wherever she needs to go to pick up kitties.”
Iversen and Kuzdek also say Wessling is also known for taking in cats they refer to as “fospice kitties.”
“And she will take care of them for however long they have left.”
rescuing cats is just the right thing to do
And she believes there is a home for every cat – although sometimes you have to be patient
this one's never gonna get adopted,’” she said
‘And there is always that person out there
It's just finding it and being honest and accurate about their personality and what their needs are
