By the end of 2017, the West had suffered its 2nd-worst fire year since the early 1950s. East of Portland, a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail scorched for 3 months. As the fires burned, Mark Beebe, a hiker on the trail, and Tara Prevo, a NASA intern who was more than 2,000 miles away, began getting to know each other through texts, phone calls and trailside video. He told her about his job delivering pizzas in Portland. She told him about her time of homelessness, when she spent several months living out of a pickup truck. Sitting beside his tent, Mark decided that no matter what came next, he would ask Tara out on a real date if they ended up in the same place. It was the fires, they said — and the lure of the #PacificCrestTrail, which Tara was already dreaming of hiking herself — that forged their relationship. By the time the winter snows came, Mark and Tara were a couple, and portions of their beloved trail lay in ashes. So they went back in together, along with scores of others, to rebuild. Mark and Tara have been out together 5 times to fix parts of the Pacific Crest Trail. Now they’re planning for Tara’s own solo hike in 2020. They intend to walk the first 86 miles from Canada, heading south together — the stretch Mark was unable to complete due to fires in 2017. @fremson took this photo of the Columbia River Gorge in May.
